Tierra Serena (Serene Land) is an 81-acre private sanctuary in Costa Rica’s Orosi Valley—a breathtaking world of waterfalls, crystal-clear streams, and sweeping mountain vistas. Situated within the town of Cachi, just minutes from Lake Cachi, it offers an uncommon blend of profound privacy with the warmth of an authentic, welcoming community.

The owners, longtime Chicago professionals, created Tierra Serena as their second home and personal retreat. They were drawn to the Orosi Valley for its rare blend of natural beauty, cultural authenticity, and ease of access—close to dining, services, and day-to-day conveniences, yet free from the congestion of the more heavily touristed beach regions. TripAdvisor calls the region “an amazingly beautiful piece of Costa Rica’s central valley,” while Go Visit Costa Rica describes it as “a tranquil gem” known for its unspoiled scenery. Fodor’s adds that the Orosi Valley allows visitors to “experience Costa Rica like a local,” while staying comfortably connected to everything essential.

At the heart of the property is a modern residence designed by architect Raul Amezquita of Richard Knorr International (Chicago), fully furnished and gracefully integrated into its natural surroundings. A two-bedroom guest cabin and a collection of outbuildings complement the landscape, which includes flowering gardens, soaring eucalyptus trees, coffee groves, and a rich diversity of flora. Internal roads, curated trails, and four steel bridges weave through the property, guiding visitors past wild orchids and the vibrant presence of more than 200 tropical bird species.

Tierra Serena is a rare opportunity to own a property where space, beauty, and renewal redefine what home can be—whether as a seasonal refuge or a permanent haven for the years ahead.
