Set almost at the quiet end of the road in upper San Francisco, this property offers the deep tranquility of a tucked-away location while still being just twelve minutes from Route 242, the main paved road. It's the kind of spot where you can hear the mountains in the morning and still reach the rest of the valley with ease.
The land includes four distinct buildable sites across differing zones, giving plenty of flexibility for a single home, a multi-residence family compound, or a thoughtfully planned hospitality project. Direct views onto Costa Rica's highest peaks anchor every angle, and reliable water is doubly assured through access to two legal sources: the Canaan Aqueduct and the Asada de Guadalupe.
A short drive takes you up to Canaan, home to the butterfly dome, Batsú restaurant, and the cafe at Quesos Canaan—a small but spirited cluster of places that draw visitors and locals alike. Thirty minutes from the property puts you at the official trailhead to climb Chirripó, Costa Rica's highest peak. Between this central yet tucked-away location, the multiple buildable sites, and the steady draw of nearby attractions, the property holds remarkable potential for a hospitality venture rooted in the surrounding landscape.
Every Wednesday, the nearby village of Chimirol hosts a bustling farmers' market and cafe, drawing growers and neighbors from across the valley. San Isidro El General is a thirty-minute drive away, and the nearest beach is reachable in ninety minutes—close enough for a coastal escape, far enough to keep the mountain calm intact.
