🌿 OCEAN + MOUNTAIN VIEWS IN SAN MATEO, COSTA RICA | $675,000 usd

Some properties work beautifully as a vacation home. Others make sense as a full-time move. This one can genuinely do both.

Perched in the hills of San Mateo, this private home offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Turrubares mountains, surrounded by tropical nature while remaining approximately one hour from SJO International Airport.

Set on 2,300 m² of land, the home features a modern tropical architectural layout designed for indoor-outdoor living, with open spaces connecting to an expansive teak deck, private infinity pool and a tropical orchard with more than 20 producing fruit trees. 🌴🥭

What makes this location especially attractive is the balance between privacy, nature and community. Just about 10 minutes away are Alegría, LeEcovilla and The Real World School, making it a great option for families relocating to Costa Rica, spending extended seasons here or looking for a second home with an international community nearby.

It also works beautifully as a primary residence for retirees, offering peace and privacy without feeling disconnected.

For buyers looking for flexibility, there is no HOA and no short-term rental restriction, so the property can be used as a full-time residence, second home or vacation rental.

And for those who love being outdoors, you’re close to the Río Machuca and only about 40 minutes from the closest Pacific beach, giving you easy access to rivers, mountains and the coast without having to choose just one lifestyle.
