Nestled between Montezuma and Mal País/Santa Teresa, Kalapiti Estate is a 9.6-acre (3.9-hectare) private retreat transformed from a horse ranch into a lush botanical sanctuary. The property features three distinct dwelling spaces designed for luxury, comfort, and versatility.


The centerpiece of the estate is a grand three-story luxury villa, featuring two large, spacious suites that sleep up to 8 guests. This stunning villa offers a private pool, sauna, chef’s kitchen, smoker, pizza/bread oven, and jacuzzi—perfect for entertaining or relaxation. Also on the property is a spacious two-story, four-bedroom home with 1.5 bathrooms, as well as a studio casita with its own yard, bathroom, and kitchenette for added privacy. Additionally, a separate laundry house could easily be converted into a fourth dwelling.


Designed with elegant curves that harmonize with the landscape, the main villa features expansive living areas, private suites, and high-end finishes. The estate’s outdoor area is a true oasis, featuring a 49-foot-long pool with waterfalls, a waterslide, and a six-person jacuzzi. A Turkish steam bath (Hammam) offers a spa-like experience, while an on-site restaurant area with a professional kitchen makes hosting effortless.


With botanical gardens boasting hundreds of plant species, the estate is a haven for nature lovers. Its prime location near the Cabo Blanco Absolute Reserve offers easy access to outdoor adventures, from surfing and horseback riding to waterfalls and jungle trails. Additionally, the property is just a 10-minute drive from Cobano, where you'll find supermarkets, banks, healthcare, and a regional airport for convenient travel. The estate is also within easy reach of Santa Teresa, Malpaís, and Montezuma, making it an ideal location for those who want to explore some of Costa Rica’s most famous beach towns.


Kalapiti Estate has previously been rented as a five-star luxury hotel, with its suites receiving excellent reviews from past guests. This makes it a fantastic opportunity for those looking to operate a boutique hospitality business or own a private retreat with strong rental track record and excellent reviews.
