Finca Austria - A 149-Acre Private Estate with Residences, Infrastructure & Expansion Potential.

FINCA AUSTRIA

Nosara, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

A rare opportunity to own over 60 hectares (149 acres) of lush land, four homes, and build-ready platforms in world-renowned Nosara.

Finca Austria is an expansive private estate nestled in the hills of Nosara, offering sweeping ocean and jungle views across one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after coastal regions. Set within a lush, nature-rich landscape, the property combines scale, privacy, and proximity — just minutes from Nosara’s beaches, dining, wellness centers, and international community.

Designed as a multi-residence compound, Finca Austria unfolds across gently contoured terrain, blending hacienda-inspired architecture with open-air living and generous gathering spaces. The estate is anchored by resort-style amenities, expansive terraces, and outdoor lifestyle areas, with internal roads and pathways connecting homes, gardens, and communal zones with ease.

Whether envisioned as a private family sanctuary, an exclusive vacation experience, 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.

This is a rare offering: a well-located and substantial landholding with established infrastructure, multiple residences, and immediate development flexibility.

ESTATE LAYOUT

Finca Austria is thoughtfully organized across elevations and the Nosara River frontage, creating a natural separation between the main residences and the lower homes. The property’s water access and circulation reflect a long-term vision focused on durability, sustainability, efficiency, and ease of use.

The estate includes two substantial homes positioned uphill, offering commanding views and enhanced privacy:

• One home with two master suites and two additional bedrooms
• One home with one master suite and three additional bedrooms

The lower portion of the property includes three smaller homes near the river, immersed in lush vegetation and benefiting from a cooler microclimate and a tranquil natural soundscape.

A 200-meter-long integrated protective dam safeguards the lower areas of the estate during the rainy season, reflecting the property’s long-term, resilience-focused planning.

DEVELOPMENT & LAND OPPORTUNITIES

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 with the estate’s existing road, water, and electrical infrastructure, offering immediate development potential or phased expansion. Additionally, the property offers significant development potential in other parts of the hills and in the lower portions.

INFRASTRUCTURE & ENGINEERING

The estate was developed with exceptional foresight and aesthetics, resulting in infrastructure that is both robust and low-maintenance.

• Professionally designed internal road system
• Electricity and water already in place
• 200-meter-long protective dam concealed in the lower section, thus preserving the pied-dans-l’eau calming sight
• Advanced drainage engineering:
• Drainage installed every 20 meters on steep sections
• Drainage installed every 50 meters on flat sections
• This design minimizes erosion and runoff, requiring virtually no regrading or refilling, thus keeping long-term maintenance to a minimum

RENOVATION NOTES & ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER

Select renovations and cosmetic updates are envisioned to refresh the property while preserving its architectural identity. Notably, the estate features superb oversized local hardwood columns and classic forged-iron lamps, intended to remain defining, timeless design elements.

THE RESIDENCES

Villa Mariposa

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 lush tropical gardens on the other, reserved exclusively for villa guests. The villa offers two master suites and two additional bedrooms. An illuminated pathway connects Villa Mariposa with Casa Colibrí.

Casa Colibrí

Built across two levels, Casa Colibrí includes a honeymoon suite and a family suite, plus two additional bedrooms. 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, and a yoga platform with a fitness corner sits between Casa Colibrí and Villa Mariposa.

Mango Cottage

A 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.

Jungle Lodge

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. Recently renovated, 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.
