Finca Buen Pais is a rental house set amidst a 55-acre private reserve and art garden, with an infinity edge pool with waterfall, horses, and jungle trails leading to a natural waterfall.

The house is on three levels and offers the best of gracious indoor-outdoor tropical living. On the first level is a spacious living room with a wall of floor-to-ceiling pivoting windows, a dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen. The second floor has two bedrooms and a sitting room which can be used as an additional sleeping area. Perched on the third floor is another bedroom with windows on all four sides and a queen-sized bed. There are two bathrooms and a private, outdoor shower.

A veranda extends around two sides of the house opening onto a covered teak deck with a hammock. Howler monkeys and a wide variety of birds are regularly seen from the veranda. The house features tile or wood floors throughout, with exposed wood beams and posts, and abundant tropical hardwood accents.

The house is perched on a hill, offering commanding views of the pool and rancho, rolling hills and valleys, and the ocean from every room in the house. In addition, it is blessed with regular breezes, making air conditioning unnecessary.

The land is lush with tropical foliage, flowering trees and shrubs, and fruit trees. There is abundant wildlife, including howler monkeys, gautusas, coatimundis, ocelots, jagarundis, deer, armadillo, and peccaries, and there are a wide assortment of colorful birds, including parrots, parakeets, toucans, motmots, manakins, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, and trogans.

The land is bordered on three sides by rivers that have carved deep jungle ravines. Trails lead to a private waterfall with its own swimming hole.

Finca Buen Pais is a 10 minute drive from the undeveloped beach at Manzanillo and only 30 minutes from the popular tourist towns of Mal Pais, Montezuma and Santa Theresa. It is a perfect base for exploring the Southern Nicoya Peninsula, while enjoying the tranquility of a private resort. Horseback riding from your front steps can be arranged.

After a day of exploring the Southern Nicoya Peninsula, enjoy the sunset over the ocean from the rancho or veranda with a cool drink or a mango or coconut picked fresh from the tree.

Experience the best of Costa Rica at Finca Buen Pais.

  • I was fortunate to experience a wonderful stay this past February for a week at Buen Pais. Ann and Robert were incredible from day one making my reservations and accomidating me. It was easy with their directions to find their property, which is on a wonderul lot of property with one of the best sunset views I have seen in Costa Rica. While their property is relativly close to Cobano the main town with bank, shops etc. and close to the beaches, it feels like you are a world away in paradise, it is very private with plenty of trails for hiking, and a beautiful horse on property and very safe. The villa has a great set up, nice outdoor shower, and has an open feel to it. The pool is very nice, it is perfect for someone trying to get away or a group of people looking for a fun time. I can't wait to go back, and Robert and Ann are very very nice, hospitable, and great to be around too!
