Dreaming of a country property for sale in La Garita, Alajuela, Costa Rica? Casa Abuelita is a rare opportunity: a 6,980 m² (1.7-acre) estate with year-round stream-fed irrigation, fruit trees, and a solid 160 m² single-level home — all fronting the main road of La Garita, one of the Central Valley's most sought-after climates, about 20 minutes from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO).
The house offers two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, and the wide, breezy corridors of a classic Costa Rican country home, plus a garage for one car.
The land is the star: a stream runs along the property, providing natural irrigation all year — keeping the gardens green and supporting fruit trees or any crops you'd like to plant. There's ample room to add stables, expanded gardens, a swimming pool, or guest houses. Keep the existing home as a base and build your dream quinta around it.
Why La Garita? Famous for its mild microclimate, La Garita is a favorite weekend and retirement spot for San José families — close to Alajuela's parks, shops, supermarkets, health centers, schools, public transport, and the popular restaurants of the La Garita corridor, with quick highway access to the beaches and the capital.
