Listing ID: 400051521147
Just ten minutes from downtown Atenas, nestled in the tranquil hills of Santa Eulalia, lies a property unlike any other — a lush, four-acre sanctuary where nature, creativity, and community converge. Originally conceived as a countryside hotel and later reimagined as a spiritual and yoga retreat, this remarkable estate now stands ready for its next inspired chapter.
A Retreat for the Senses
At the heart of the property, a two-level main lodge of nearly 5,000 sq ft welcomes guests with warm wood tones, abundant light, and mountain views. Nine ensuite bedrooms — several with private balconies — offer peaceful refuge. The entry hall functions beautifully as a reception area, while the adjoining living spaces and a commercial kitchen create an ideal flow for hosting guests, workshops, or intimate gatherings. An attached office with a full bathroom easily converts to an additional suite if desired.
Two expansive terraces — one at the front entry and another overlooking the gardens — invite al-fresco dining and open-air conversation, the kind that lingers long into the evening under the Costa Rican sky.
Designed for Connection & Retreat
An outdoor staircase, nicknamed “the Aztec steps”, leads to a secondary building, housing four spacious guest suites and an open-air kitchen pavilion — a flexible venue for yoga, meditation, dining, or group sessions. Beyond it, a sparkling swimming pool commands the lawn, complete with sun deck and shaded bar area, creating a natural gathering point for retreats or celebrations.
The grounds open further to a broad garden clearing — a perfect canvas for weddings, events, or open-air workshops beneath the palms.
A Hidden Treehouse Haven
Tucked away in the forest canopy, overlooking the rushing Quebrada Cortez, a two-bedroom, two-bath treehouse residence, which can serve as an owner’s or manager’s retreat. The sound of the water flowing over smooth stones creates an atmosphere of pure tranquility — a reminder of why people come here to recharge and reconnect with what really matters.
Four Acres of Living Landscape
The property spans 17,744.53 m² ( 4.3 acres) of mature tropical gardens bordering Quebrada Cortez, a vital wildlife corridor that welcomes monkeys, sloths, toucans, and countless bird species. A private trail descends to the creek’s edge for peaceful exploration. The estate also includes its own private well and a discreet, gated entrance ensuring complete privacy.
While it is lovingly maintained and fully functional, the estate’s true allure lies in its possibilities — whether reborn as a high-end wellness center, an eco-chic boutique hotel, or a private family compound celebrating the spirit of Pura Vida.
This is more than a property — it’s a stage for meaningful experiences, for wellness and wonder, for creativity and connection.
The property feature a shared common area with a rancho, bar, outdoor kitchen and inviting swimming pool that’s surrounded by a large sundeck and lushly landscaped gardens. There’s also a common area bathroom.
This property is being sold turn-key, fully furnished and equipped.
Paradise is closer than you ever imagined. With an ideal climate, welcoming expat community, high-quality healthcare, and instant access to amenities, owning a home in Atenas is an unparalleled opportunity to embrace the best of Costa Rican living.
