The Family Farm Canaan

$654,000

Description

Centrally located yet wonderfully private, this mountain farm property sits just minutes from the heart of Canaan — on foot or by car — where restaurants, a bakery, a butterfly dome, a local organic dairy farm, and friendly neighbors gathering on weekends create the kind of community that defines life in Costa Rica's highlands. Though the farm lies just off the main road, the areas designated for development sit high above the river and road, offering a genuine sense of seclusion and elevation that makes this property feel like a world apart.

The land itself carries both character and potential. A 40-year-old Tico-style home with electricity anchors the property, while three natural springs provide a reliable and coveted water source. Four flat areas ready for development invite a range of possibilities — additional homes, guest cabins, a retreat space, or a working homestead — making this an equally compelling opportunity for those seeking a primary residence or a long-term investment in one of the region's most desirable corridors.

The surrounding landscape adds to the allure. The villages here are embraced by La Amistad Transnational Park, one of Central America's largest conservation projects and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, alongside Chirripó National Park, home to the country's highest peaks. San Isidro de El General is 40 minutes away for shopping, dining, and everyday services, while the Pacific coast is within 90 minutes — grounding this secluded mountain retreat in a life that is rich, connected, and full of possibility.
