About the Villa
Mountain Peace Villa sits in La Guaria, Piedades Sur, in the hills outside San Ramón, Alajuela. Built in 2006, the residence offers more than 1,000 m² of reported living space on a 5,174 m² property. Its five bedrooms, multiple gathering spaces, library and study, indoor garden solarium, and fitness areas make it unusually flexible for everyday living, visiting family, or extended stays.
At approximately 1,200 meters above sea level, the property benefits from a mild mountain setting. The home was designed to use natural airflow, allowing its current owners to live without conventional heating or air conditioning. Outdoor terraces, garden paths, and planted grounds extend daily life beyond the walls of the house.
The home is laid out on a single level with no stairs, and its structure was built to support a future second floor. The property holds approved land use for lodging (bed-and-breakfast or short-term rental), so it can serve as a private residence or a hospitality investment. It is fully gated, with two remote-controlled automatic gates, security cameras, and an alarm.

Discover the Pacific Highlands
Perched at 1,200 meters above sea level, this villa rests in the heart of Costa Rica's Pacific Highlands, where rolling green slopes rise into cloud forests before descending toward the distant shimmer of the Pacific coast. The elevation brings a refreshing "eternal spring" climate—gentle days around 22 °C, cool evenings, and crisp mountain air throughout the year.
From May through November, the rainy or "green" season transforms the landscape into a lush paradise of color and growth. Mornings are usually bright and sunny, followed by misty afternoons and short tropical showers that cool the air and nourish the forests, coffee fields, and gardens that define the region. The dry season, from December to April, ushers in clear blue skies and golden light—perfect for hiking, birdwatching, and enjoying sweeping views across the valleys and hillsides.
Nearby San Ramón, known as the "City of Poets," blends rustic charm with a vibrant cultural spirit. Its bustling farmers' markets overflow with tropical fruit, artisanal cheeses, and world-renowned Costa Rican coffee. Visitors and residents alike enjoy cozy cafés, international health services, universities, and lively cultural festivals that fill the town's plazas with music and art.
Piedades Sur
Just outside San Ramón, Piedades Sur is a tranquil rural community of coffee farms, forested hills, and distant ocean vistas — serene, yet minutes from town.
Warm people, strong traditions, and weekend markets reflect a life tied to the land. The mild climate and clean mountain air make it ideal for wellness and inspiration.
Despite its calm setting, it offers easy access to San Ramón’s healthcare, shops, universities, and cultural events — rural charm with modern comfort.
La Guaria
Tucked into the emerald hills of Piedades Sur, La Guaria takes its name from Costa Rica’s national orchid, La Guaria Morada—a symbol of beauty, resilience, and home. The village blooms with verdant gardens, misty mornings, and a deep bond with nature.
Life here moves at an unhurried rhythm: neighbors know each other by name, and small farms and coffee fields keep traditions alive.
A short drive from San Ramón, La Guaria balances quiet rural charm with easy access to modern comforts — a place where visitors quickly become friends and every sunrise invites pura vida.
Public Transportation and Road Conditions
Piedades Sur and La Guaria connect to San Ramón by reliable buses running several times daily, making trips for shopping, schools, medical care, and events simple without a car.
Main roads are paved and well maintained, about 15 minutes from San Ramón’s center. Some hillside side roads are narrow or gravel, yet remain accessible year-round, even in the rainy season.
By car or bus, travel in and out of La Guaria is convenient, scenic, and safe — country living without feeling remote.
