Exceptional Turn-Key B&B or Private Retreat in Atenas

Nestled in the lush hills just 10 minutes from downtown Atenas, this beautifully maintained property presents a rare opportunity to own a successful, turn-key bed & breakfast or create an extraordinary private family estate. With sweeping mountain views, abundant tropical gardens, and thoughtfully designed spaces for relaxation and privacy, this unique estate offers a lifestyle of tranquility and versatility.

The property includes a main residence and four fully equipped guest houses, all situated on a meticulously landscaped 7,180 m² lot with walking trails, a large swimming pool, and multiple outdoor living areas. Whether you're looking for a profitable hospitality business or a secluded multi-generational retreat, this property delivers unmatched value and charm. The existing B&B business can be seamlessly transferred with the purchase of the public limited company.

Atenas has earned an international reputation for its climate—famously marketed as “El Mejor Clima del Mundo” (“the best climate in the world”), a slogan that even National Geographic helped popularize in the 1990s. Recognized by AARP as one of the top 10 retirement destinations worldwide, the region boasts steady daytime highs in the mid 80s °F, cool nights in the mid 60s, and more year-round sunshine than much of Costa Rica (ticotimes.com).
