Description
This 3-bedroom house for sale in Turrialba, Costa Rica, sits in the rural community of Mollejones with views of the mountains and the Pacuare River.
Built in the year 2000 and kept in good condition, it is a move-in-ready home on a 524 m² plot in Cartago province. There is a garden, a terrace for long lunches and a garage that takes two to three cars. It suits a full-time move, and it also works as a quieter second home in Costa Rica where the weather is green and the pace is slow.
The House and Its 524 m² Plot
The house has 104 m² of living area. You come in to an open living and dining room with large windows, which pull in daylight and frame the hills beyond the garden. On a clear morning you can see the mountains and the line of the Pacuare River valley from the sofa.
The kitchen is a separate room rather than part of the open plan, and it has its own balcony. That is where the first coffee of the day naturally ends up, with the cool mountain air coming in. Cooking smells stay out of the living room, which many buyers prefer.
There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, enough for a family or for guests who come to stay for a few weeks. A custom-made ceiling gives the interior some character, so it does not feel like a standard builder's house. Next to the main living space, a large terrace is set up for outdoor meals.
The plot leaves room to work with. The garden is already there, and the size of the land gives you space to extend the planting or add an outdoor cooking area. A pool is another possibility, though it would need to be checked against local rules and the ground.
Living in Mollejones and La Suiza
Mollejones is a small, quiet rural community, the kind of place where neighbors know each other and the loudest sound at night is the forest. The source places the house roughly 15 km from La Suiza. Day-to-day shopping, schools and healthcare are reached through La Suiza and the town of Turrialba, so you get calm without being cut off.
It is a lifestyle for people who like to be outside. Expect mild temperatures for the tropics and a lot of greenery, which comes with regular rain. Keep that in mind if you plan to leave the house empty for part of the year: a local caretaker or neighbor to open windows and watch the garden is worth arranging.
Turrialba, the Pacuare River and the Outdoors
Turrialba is one of the best-known adventure areas in Costa Rica. The Pacuare River is famous for white-water rafting, and the surrounding mountains offer hiking and birdwatching. Having the river valley in view from your own windows is a real draw for anyone who wants to be close to that. The area also has plenty of coffee and farmland, and it is far less crowded than the Pacific beach towns.
For buyers comparing Costa Rica real estate, this part of Cartago offers a very different picture from the coastal resorts: more local life, more green space and lower entry prices. A property in Turrialba like this one could also work as a holiday home in Cartago, with the rafting and nature nearby giving a reason to visit all year. Any rental plan should be checked locally for permits and demand.
Getting There: Airport and Drive Times
The nearest international airport is Juan Santamaría (SJO) near San José. Allow roughly two hours by road to Turrialba, depending on traffic and the final stretch on rural roads. The city of Cartago lies along the same general route. Having your own vehicle is sensible here, and the garage makes that easy.
