A 5,000 m² (1.24-acre) tropical finca with two independent homes and a mature fruit garden in Aluna Java, a small private gated community on Calle Carbón in Bribri, in Costa Rica’s Southern Caribbean.
The homes. The main house (270 m²) has a master suite with its own bathroom and bathtub, two more double bedrooms with a shared bathroom, a library, kitchen and dining area, and large terraces. The second house (95 m²) has two double bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and dining area and its own enclosed garden. Together that is 365 m² of building: room for family, guests, a caretaker or rental income. Both homes have building permits.
Gardens and water. Cacao, mangosteen, zapote, acerola, citrus, coconut, plantain, banana, biribá and soursop, plus hardwoods such as laurel, guanacaste and almond. Both homes run on a private well with a filtration system (three filters and a UV lamp).
Location. About 2 km from Bribri town, 5 minutes from the Talamanca municipality and services and from the nearest of Bribri’s waterfalls, and about 20 minutes by car from Puerto Viejo and the Caribbean beaches. Schools, shops, restaurants and buses nearby; access by a private road off Calle Carbón.
Worth checking. The well’s permit and water tests, the community’s rules and any fees, and the title and cadastral plan for the property.
