Ciudad Colón Hillside Sanctuary

A Rare Large-Scale Estate in Colón, Costa Rica

Privacy, scale and potential, the ideal canvas for your next chapter

Set on nearly 1.5 hectares of private, forest-bordered land and offering more than 650 m² of interior space, this estate in Colón, Mora presents an opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find in Costa Rica: a spacious, architecturally striking home with room to transform, modernize and customize to your lifestyle.

Designed with grand proportions, open volumes and oversized rooms, the residence feels more like a private lodge or retreat center than a traditional home. Built 28 years ago, the property is not modern in its finishes and that is precisely what makes it so valuable for international buyers seeking potential, flexibility and space impossible to recreate today.

A Home Built on Volume and Structure

The moment you enter, the architecture makes an impression.

The central living area opens into a dramatic, atrium-style space with towering ceilings, exposed beams, stone accent walls and views toward the surrounding greenery.

Other features include:

• Bedroom suites the size of small apartments

• A bright, oversized kitchen with full-length windows overlooking the trees

• Wide staircases, mezzanine walkways and large open platforms

• Multiple terraces and covered outdoor areas

• Parking for several vehicles

• Solid structure ideal for renovation or redesign

This is not a luxury-finished home; it’s a solid, large-scale structure with exceptional bones, ready for a visionary buyer to elevate it into something truly impressive.

1.4 Hectares of Privacy and Possibility

The property spans 14,121 m² of land, an uncommon amount of private space near the city.

Surrounded by mature trees and lush vegetation, it offers:

• Total privacy

• Room for trails, gardens, or outdoor amenities

• Space for expansion or complementary structures

• Peace, silence and a natural setting ideal for wellness or retreat living

Ideal for International Buyers Seeking More Than a Home

This estate is particularly well-suited for buyers from Canada, the United States and Europe, who often prioritize space, privacy, and the ability to customize or develop a property with character.

Perfect for:

• A large family looking for a spacious private residence

• A buyer relocating to Costa Rica seeking acreage and tranquility

• Someone wanting a home they can renovate or redesign to modern standards

• Investors looking for a high-potential property close to San José

• A developer interested in creating a boutique hotel or retreat center

• Wellness, yoga, creative or corporate retreat operators

• Canadians and Europeans seeking long-stay or retirement properties with land

A Property Impossible to Recreate Today

Given current construction costs, zoning restrictions and the scarcity of large private parcels in the Greater Metropolitan Area, building something of this scale would be extremely expensive if not impossible.

This estate offers a unique combination of:

Size, privacy, structure, location and long-term potential.

For the right buyer, it’s not just a home.

It’s an opportunity to create something exceptional, a retreat, a transformation, a new lifestyle surrounded by nature.
