12-Sided Home + Guest House Near Ojochal | 6 Bed / 5 Bath

Some properties are built to look at the view. This one was built to live inside it. Set at 2,600 feet in the mountain village of Serenity Gardens, roughly 35 minutes from Ojochal, this one-acre estate carries two separate homes and a climate that stays comfortable year-round — cool nights, warm days, and no need for air conditioning.

The main house is a 12-sided structure, unlike anything else in Costa Rica real estate. Its 150 m² ground floor opens into a kitchen with panoramic mountain views, a generous living area, three bright bedrooms with ceiling fans and screened windows, and two full bathrooms. Above it sits another 150 m² of covered open-air space, reached directly from the private parking area — a natural home for yoga, music, art, or long gatherings with friends.

The 100 m² guest house sleeps up to eight across three bedrooms and three bathrooms, with two kitchenettes of its own. That makes room for visiting family, multi-generational living, or rental income. A rancho with sweeping views handles outdoor meals and workshops.

Pure mountain water arrives from both the village spring and a private source. The multi-level edible garden already produces bananas, coconuts, papayas, mangos, passionfruit, water apples, yuca, sweet potatoes, katuk, bele, and sacha inchi, with stone paths and steps threading through the terrain. Weekly deliveries of local organic produce, eggs, and cheese fill in the rest. Shared community costs run just $600 per year, covering the water system, roads, garbage collection, and shared land taxes. Residents have free access to jungle trails and a year-round river, with an ocean view waiting at the top of the hike. Toucans, howler monkeys, coatis, and hummingbirds are daily company.

Down the mountain, Ojochal is the culinary heart of Costa Rica's Southern Zone, with an unusually international restaurant scene for a town its size. Its expat community — Canadian, American, and European — is welcoming and well established, which makes relocation far smoother than most people expect.
