Description
Off Grid Micro Regenerative Organic Homestead in Tinamastes
A rare blend of high-tech autonomy and barefoot luxury, this 5.4-acre mountain estate in Tinamastes offers a fully realized regenerative homestead just a short drive from Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Sitting several degrees cooler than the beach, with fresh valley breezes year-round, it delivers a perfectly comfortable climate for everyday life without the need for air conditioning.
Designed for discerning buyers who value independence, wellness, and connection to nature, the property runs primarily off a powerful 9 kW Sol-Ark solar system with 20 kW of battery storage, backed up by the municipal grid by choice rather than necessity. High-speed internet blankets the property, allowing you to work remotely, stream, and stay connected while living in a private, self-sustaining sanctuary.
The land & setting
The 5.4-acre grounds are a walkable landscape of orchards, gardens, and forest, with trails leading from the main residence through four established fruit orchards, past greenhouses, cabin, and chicken coop, and down to a pristine river. Along the river’s edge, private natural dipping pools form the lower boundary of the property, with a beautiful waterfall just upstream for daily swims and cold plunges.
Wildlife is abundant and ever-present. Daily visitors include pizotes, agoutis, black squirrels, and iguanas, while an impressive variety of birds move through the canopy overhead. Troops of howler and white-faced capuchin monkeys pass through from time to time, underscoring the property’s immersion in thriving jungle ecology.
Main residence
The 1-bedroom, 1½-bathroom primary home is oriented to capture sweeping mountain views and constant cross-breezes, creating a bright, airy environment that blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living. Every space has been designed for comfort, efficiency, and ease of maintenance—ideal as a primary residence for a couple or as the central home base for a larger estate program.
Outdoor living & pool
Outdoor living is at the heart of the property. A large covered kitchen and dining pavilion with BBQ, firepit, and generous lounge space (approximately 46 m² / 495 ft²) functions as a second living room in the tropics—perfect for long dinners, gatherings, and entertaining.
Just beyond, a stunning natural stone saltwater lap pool (12.5 m × 3.5 m / 41 ft × 11.5 ft) invites daily exercise and relaxation, framed by a poolside pergola (about 22 m² / 245 ft²) for shaded lounging, reading, and sunset cocktails.
Guest casita
A detached 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest casita (25 m² / 270 ft²) offers privacy and comfort for visitors, family, a caretaker, or potential rental income. With its own closet/dry room and independent feel, it’s ideal for hosting guests while preserving privacy at the main residence.
Workshops & specialty spaces
For creative projects, homestead management, and secure storage, the property includes:
A charming wood cabin with woodworking shop and wet room for mycology and culturing (22.4 m² / 241 ft²), purpose-built for hands-on projects, food-growing experiments, and small-scale production.
A secure bodega (15.8 m² / 170 ft²) for tools and equipment.
A large carport (40 m² / 430 ft²).
A climate-controlled storage room (1.85 m² / 20 ft²) for sensitive items.

Roofed greenhouse with raised beds and irrigation (approx. 87.6 m² / 943 ft²).
Fully enclosed greenhouse with raised beds, irrigation, solar fans, and lighting (30 m² / 323 ft²).
Covered tree nursery adjacent to the wood cabin (14.8 m² / 159 ft²).
