More Detailed Version:
An exceptional opportunity to own over 60 hectares (approximately 149 acres) of lush land, four homes, and multiple building platforms in world-renowned Nosara—perfect for vacation rentals and retreats or a private investment.
Finca Austria is a rare, an unique expansive estate nestled in the hills of Nosara, offering sweeping ocean and jungle views across one of Costa Rica’s most desirable wellness destinations. Set within a private, nature-rich landscape, the property combines seclusion, scale, and proximity — just minutes from world-class beaches, dining, and Nosara’s international community.
Designed as a multi-residence compound, Finca Austria unfolds across gently contoured terrain, blending hacienda-style architecture with open-air living and generous gathering spaces. The estate’s layout supports both private enjoyment and hospitality use, with residences positioned to maximize privacy, airflow, and connection to nature.
Anchored by resort-style amenities, the property features multiple infinity-edge pools, expansive terraces, and dedicated wellness and event spaces. Meandering internal roads and illuminated paths connect villas, gardens, and communal areas, allowing residents and guests to move seamlessly between tranquil retreats and shared experiences.
Whether envisioned as a private family sanctuary, a retreat destination, or a high-performing hospitality investment, Finca Austria offers a rare balance of natural beauty, architectural flexibility, and long-term value in the heart of Nosara.
Finca Austria is thoughtfully organized across elevation, water access, and circulation, reflecting a long-term vision focused on durability, efficiency, and ease of use.
The estate includes two substantial residences positioned uphill, offering expansive views and enhanced privacy:
One residence with two primary suites and two additional bedrooms
A second residence with one primary suite and three additional bedrooms
In the lower portion of the property, three smaller homes are located near the river, immersed in lush vegetation and benefiting from a cooler microclimate and a tranquil natural soundscape.
A 200-meter-long protective dam was constructed to safeguard the lower areas of the estate during the rainy season, underscoring the property’s resilient, forward-thinking infrastructure.
Finca Austria also includes five individual lots available for future construction, each with a 1,000 m² building platform:
Four lots with ocean views
One lot with mountain and river views
These platforms are fully integrated into the estate’s existing road, water, and electrical infrastructure, offering immediate development potential or phased expansion.
The estate was developed with exceptional foresight, resulting in infrastructure that is both robust and low-maintenance:
Professionally designed internal road system with electricity and water already in place
Advanced drainage engineering:
Drainage installed every 20 meters on steep road sections
Drainage installed every 50 meters on flat sections
This design minimizes erosion and runoff, requiring virtually no regrading or refilling and keeping long-term maintenance to a minimum
Select renovations and cosmetic updates are envisioned to refresh the property while preserving its architectural integrity. Notably, the estate features superb, oversized local hardwood columns and classic forged-iron lamps, intended to remain defining, timeless design elements.
The main hacienda-style villa is surrounded by expansive terraces and multiple lounge areas. It features a 45-foot infinity pool with ocean views on one side and a tropical garden on the other, reserved exclusively for villa guests. An illuminated pathway connects Villa Mariposa with Casa Colibrí.
Built across two levels, Casa Colibrí houses a honeymoon suite and a family suite. The ground floor opens to a generous outdoor living area with multiple shaded lounges, a 30-meter pool with a children’s section, massage jets, and a hot tub with a palm-thatched pool bar. A dining area completes the space, with a yoga platform and fitness corner located between Casa Colibrí and Villa Mariposa.
A fully private residence featuring two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, an additional bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large covered terrace. A secluded plunge pool and private garden make Mango Cottage ideal for guests seeking independence and privacy.
Designed for groups of 10–12 guests, the Jungle Lodge consists of two sections — Balou and Mogli. Together they offer two kitchens, three bathrooms, and a separate guest restroom. The lodge blends rustic character with modern comfort and includes a BBQ area, rancho, and serene river views frequented by hummingbirds and butterflies. The Balou section alone comfortably accommodates 6–8 guests.
