Casa Dos Rios | Chirripo, Chimirol de Rivas 11904

Situated between the Río Chirripó and Río Chucuyo, this newly built home offers a sense of place that is difficult to replicate. Set on 1.3 hectares of land, approximately 13,000 m² or 139,932 ft², the property lies in a quiet pocket of Chimirol de Rivas where the landscape begins to open into broad terraces, soft light, and the first hints of the high mountains above Canaan. The setting feels private without being remote, and the sound of flowing water is present throughout the day as both rivers trace the edges of the land.Completed recently, the residence was designed for comfort and ease of use, with generous interior proportions and a clean, modern layout. The home sits slightly elevated above the terrain, allowing natural airflow to move through the rooms and giving long views toward the surrounding trees and open fields. Its turn-key condition allows a new owner to settle in immediately while leaving ample room for future vision. The land is predominantly flat, a rarity in this region, and its scale invites thoughtful expansion. A second guest home, garden terraces, or a small homestead can be accommodated without altering the calm character of the property.The two river boundaries define the experience here. The Río Chirripó carries the cool, fast water that originates in the upper reaches of the national park, while the Río Chucuyo offers gentler pools and shaded corners ideal for reading, resting, or simply stepping away from the day’s rhythm. Private access to both allows daily routines to blend naturally with the landscape, whether that means swimming, gardening near the water’s edge, or using the rivers as reference points for walking the property.Despite the sense of retreat, the home sits only a short drive from the main road, offering quick access to Canaan and the services of the valley. The approach is straightforward, and the transition from village to property is smooth, with no steep climbs or technical roads. This balance between accessibility and privacy is one of the features that makes the location increasingly sought after, as properties of this size and condition are becoming less common in the Rivas district.The land receives its water from the local ASADA, ensuring a registered and reliable source, and high-speed fiber-optic internet is already installed. These details allow the property to function as a full-time residence, a private retreat, or a base for those who divide their time between Costa Rica and abroad. The area surrounding Chimirol continues to grow organically, guided by its agricultural roots, community-led initiatives, and proximity to the Chirripó foothills.What stands out most is the feeling of openness. The property unfolds in a way that invites movement across its length: morning light along the riverbank, afternoons in the wide central field, evenings listening to water against stone. The home acts as a quiet anchor within this landscape, offering shelter and ease while leaving space for whatever future the land may hold. Offered at $1,250,000, it is one of the few opportunities in this corridor of the valley to acquire a newly built residence with direct access to two rivers and expansive usable terrain, all within minutes of Canaan.
