Discover one of Costa Rica’s most enchanting properties — a front-row seat to the country’s tallest waterfall, more than 600 feet of cascading water into pristine jungle. Set on 2.9 acres in the sought-after Diamante Valley, this extraordinary sanctuary combines privacy, natural abundance, and striking architecture with a proven retreat layout.

At the heart of the property is a dramatic three-storey octagonal home — originally designed as both a temple space and family residence. The ground level opens into a generous, open-air kitchen and dining area flowing onto a panoramic terrace with uninterrupted waterfall and orchard views. A cozy bedroom and unique bathroom with double compost toilets and a jungle-view bathtub complete the main floor. Upstairs, the eight-meter-wide master suite frames the waterfall through an oversized triangular window. Thoughtful touches include a breaker switch to reduce EMF exposure at night, a large main bathroom finished in natural stone, and a dedicated dry room to protect clothes and electronics. Sliding doors reveal an extraordinary 3x2-meter hammock/trampoline loft — strong enough to hold 20+ people — perfect for play, relaxation, or community gatherings. Topping the home is an open-air yoga and dance studio with guanacaste wood floors and a bamboo reciprocal roof, offering 360-degree views of jungle canopy, waterfall, and even a glimpse of the ocean and sunset. This airy top level is unparalleled for movement, meditation, and events.

Complementing the main house are three additional private dwellings thoughtfully placed around the property: a rustic geodesic dome, an A-frame cabin with their own outdoor kitchen and compost toilet, and a charming wooden one-bedroom cabin with double shower, full kitchen, and terrace — ideal for guests, retreats, or rental income. A 10x5-meter greenhouse with raised beds, plus a black bamboo bodega/garage for two vehicles, tools, and hammocks, rounds out the infrastructure.

Beyond the structures, the land itself is a living treasure. Three orchards form a maturing fruit forest with durian, jackfruit, cacao, mangosteen, sapote, jaboticaba, coconut, banana, guanabana, and dozens of other exotic species. Medicinal herbs, nutrient-dense greens, and vibrant flowers flourish under permaculture principles. With its legal ASADA water supply, rainwater catchment, natural filtration systems, and a creek wrapping three sides of the property, the land is poised for self-sufficiency and year-round abundance.

Nature lovers will appreciate the constant presence of wildlife — howler and white-faced monkeys, toucans, butterflies — with no visible neighbors and only the soothing sound of the waterfall. Yet you’re still in the heart of the Diamante Valley, close to communities, services, and the beaches of Costa Ballena.

As a heartfelt bonus, three affectionate jungle cats who call this property home may be included with the sale. Because their well-being matters, the sellers are seeking an aligned buyer who will embrace these beloved companions. In return, owner financing and a turnkey arrangement — including all furniture and appliances — can be offered to the right steward of this extraordinary sanctuary.

Properties of this caliber — combining front-row waterfall views, architectural uniqueness, and true permaculture abundance — rarely come to market. Schedule a viewing to experience the healing energy, fresh mountain air, and unforgettable vistas for yourself.
