Long Description

A LEGACY OF LUXURY, ORGANIC COFFEE & CONSERVATION

Perched in the lush mountains of Santa Bárbara, just 25 minutes from San José’s international airport, this award-winning boutique eco-resort is one of Costa Rica’s most celebrated examples of sustainable luxury.

Blending art-inspired architecture, eco-conscious design, and tropical beauty, the property offers an unforgettable experience. Guests wake to the scent of coffee blossoms, wander through gardens alive with 165 bird species, a true bird watchers paradise, and swim in a chemical-free natural pool with sweeping Central Valley views.

A Living Story of Art, Nature & Sustainability

It began as a vision in 1985, when the family and architect Francisco Rojas designed a home “with no square corners” – blending artistry with nature. Over the decades, the family transformed it into a world-class eco-luxury retreat, planting thousands of native trees, preserving biodiversity, and creating a cultural and culinary experience that has attracted travellers from all over the world.

The property offers 14 elegantly designed accommodations, blending comfort with artistic detail. Guests can choose from 8 stylish rooms, 2 private villas – each featuring two spacious junior suites – and 2 luxurious suites with panoramic views. Every space is thoughtfully crafted to reflect Costa Rica’s natural beauty, with private balconies, artisan décor, and modern amenities for an unforgettable stay.

Expansion Potential

The estate offers ample space for adding more guest accommodations or creating new wellness facilities, allowing future owners to enhance capacity and broaden the resort’s eco-luxury experience while preserving its natural charm.

One of the property’s most treasured features is its renowned farm-to-table restaurant, beloved by hotel guests and locals alike. The culinary team crafts seasonal menus using organic produce from the estate’s gardens and fresh, locally sourced ingredients from neighbouring farms.

The restaurant is also a celebration of coffee in cuisine – offering signature dishes and desserts infused with the estate’s own organic beans. From rich coffee-rubbed meats to decadent coffee crème brûlée, guests savour the flavour of the plantation in every bite.

With a steady flow of visitors from the region and beyond, the restaurant has become a destination dining experience in the Central Valley, attracting both eco-conscious foodies and travellers seeking authentic Costa Rican flavours.

On the opposite side of the main hotel, a dedicated lot provides convenient client parking, ensuring easy access for guests. The property also features an on-site guesthouse, ideal for accommodating a manager or staff, offering both comfort and privacy while keeping operations running smoothly.

A Legacy Worth Protecting

The current owner’s vision is clear – this rare sanctuary should remain an eco-resort, safeguarding its environmental legacy and commitment to sustainable hospitality.

For the right steward, this is not simply an acquisition – it’s an opportunity to step into a living masterpiece. Whether you choose to reside on-site and personally welcome guests from around the globe, or guide the resort through an expert management team, you’ll inherit a business that delivers both profitable returns and profound purpose.

With its world-class reputation, sustainable infrastructure, and seamless turnkey operations, this property is ready for its next chapter.

This is more than a property. It’s a story you can own, a legacy you can nurture, and a piece of Costa Rica’s soul you can protect for generations to come.
