Accessible Highland Retreat Near Lake Cachi Tierra Serena, an expansive 80-acre estate nestled in the stunning Orosi Valley of Costa Rica, offers an unrivaled combination of natural beauty, privacy, and unspoiled landscapes.

The grounds are beautifully landscaped with an array of fruit and flowering trees, creating a perfect setting of mountain, valley, and lake views.

At the core of the home is a spacious great room, blending the kitchen, dining, and living areas into an ideal space for both relaxation and entertaining.
