Farm Close to Heaven at Heredia

Farm Close to Heaven, sits high in the hills of San José de la Montaña, a quiet and scenic region in the upper areas of Heredia known for its fresh temperatures, forested landscapes and sweeping valley views. Positioned at approximately 1,875 meters above sea level, the property offers a mountain climate that stays cool throughout the year, paired with clear vistas over the Central Valley and glimpses of the Pacific on the horizon.

The estate spans close to two hectares, with a thoughtful balance between open gardens, natural forest and essential living structures. Around half of the land remains dedicated to conservation, protecting two pristine rivers that frame the property and feed a series of cascades and small streams. Mature trees attract abundant wildlife, creating a private setting where the sounds of water and birds define the atmosphere.

A Swiss-style chalet sits at the heart of the property, designed with a simple and comfortable layout that includes three bedrooms, three full bathrooms and an open living area with kitchen, dining and a cozy fireplace. The approach to the home leads through gardens filled with color, walking paths and small ponds, offering a peaceful transition from the natural forest into the residential spaces.

The property also includes a caretaker’s house and a separate social area with its own small kitchen, barbecue and guest bathrooms. This flexible space can host gatherings of more than twenty people, making it ideal for family retreats, wellness weekends or private events. The surrounding mountain landscape encourages outdoor living, quiet contemplation and a connection to nature rarely found so close to the city.

Located within a private, gated community with well-maintained internal roads, Close to Heaven feels secluded while remaining accessible. The international airport is only about sixteen kilometers away, and central San José roughly thirty-two kilometers, making this a convenient highland escape for full-time living or weekend use.

Close to Heaven is ready to be enjoyed as a retreat, a conservation-minded estate or a personal getaway immersed in natural beauty.
