Las Bromelias de Tapantí: a mountain-forest farm at about 1,600 m in the buffer zone of Tapantí National Park, about 20 minutes from Cartago, with a large furnished main house, a separate social building and a caretaker’s house.
The main house. Three bedrooms with their own bathrooms and an adjacent guest room with a bathroom; a fully equipped kitchen, laundry and storage rooms, living and dining rooms, and a large lounge with a bar, a fireplace and a pizza oven, plus a barbecue area.
More buildings. A separate social building with a living room and a bar overlooking the mountains, and a small house used by the caretaker.
The land. Mountain forest rich in birds, wildlife and plants, with clean air and wide mountain views. Part of the land has been used for vegetables and a hydrangea plantation.
Worth checking. The agency describes the home as off-grid: ask how power and water are supplied. The listing gives the land as 47 hectares (116 acres) and the description as 54 hectares, so confirm the exact area from the title and cadastral plan. Also ask about building rules in the national park buffer zone.
Buyers who want a large mountain estate with a cool climate and protected forest nearby, within easy reach of Cartago and the Central Valley.
