A Vast Natural Paradise

Of the total 450 hectares, 180 hectares are officially designated as a private nature reserve, a breathtaking stretch of untouched forest teeming with native flora and fauna. This protected area provides a refuge for wildlife such as toucans, monkeys, deer, and countless tropical bird species. The sound of flowing water and birdsong fills the air, creating an atmosphere of peace and seclusion that is difficult to find elsewhere.

Two rivers gracefully cross the property, ensuring abundant natural water year-round and adding to the estate’s scenic beauty. Along the riverbanks, you’ll find tranquil spots perfect for swimming, picnicking, or simply enjoying nature in its purest form. The property’s natural topography includes rolling pastures, forested hills, and open meadows, offering panoramic views and a variety of potential uses — from sustainable agriculture to eco-tourism or conservation projects.

The Main Residence

At the heart of the estate stands the main house, a spacious and beautifully appointed home designed for comfortable living and entertaining. This residence features:

Four large bedrooms, each with its own private en-suite bathroom, ensuring every family member or guest enjoys comfort and privacy.

Two generous living rooms, ideal for both relaxation and social gatherings.

A large, fully equipped kitchen designed for preparing meals for large families or hosting events, with ample counter space and storage.

Expansive front and back terraces, offering open-air spaces for dining, lounging, and taking in the surrounding natural beauty. From these terraces, you can enjoy views of the gardens, green hills, and wildlife that often pass nearby.

The stunning farmhouse blends traditional Costa Rican elements with idyllic country style living, featuring natural wood finishes, wide open spaces, and abundant natural light.

Additional Residences

The estate also includes two additional houses, perfect for farmhands, caretakers, or guests. Each home offers:

Two bedrooms

One full bathroom

An open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining area, providing a functional and comfortable living space.

These homes are conveniently located to provide privacy while remaining within easy access to the main residence and ranch facilities.

Outdoor and Agricultural Features

Beyond the homes, the property offers a full range of facilities designed for comfort, recreation, and agricultural use:

A large ranch-style pavilion (rancho) equipped with a kitchen and dining area, ideal for hosting large gatherings, family events, or retreats.

A storage shed for equipment and tools.

Corrals, suitable for horses, cattle, or other livestock.

Vast open green areas, perfect for additional development, reforestation, or agricultural expansion.

Numerous fruit trees scattered throughout the estate, providing fresh produce straight from the land.

The combination of forest, pastures, and rivers makes this property suitable for various uses — from private luxury living to a self-sustaining eco-ranch or nature retreat.

Sustainability and Self-Sufficiency

Thanks to its fertile land and abundant water sources, this estate has the potential to be almost completely self-sustaining. Owners could easily establish organic gardens, orchards, or small-scale farming operations, all while maintaining the integrity of the protected reserve. Solar energy and rainwater collection systems could be added to further enhance sustainability.

Move-In Ready and Fully Furnished

The property is being sold fully furnished, offering immediate comfort and convenience. Each home is equipped with quality furniture and appliances, allowing you to move in or begin operations right away — whether your goal is private living, a boutique eco-lodge, or a conservation-focused project.

A private family estate or retreat, where generations can gather and enjoy nature together.

An eco-lodge or wellness resort, capitalizing on Costa Rica’s thriving tourism industry.

A sustainable ranch or organic farm, combining productive land with environmental conservation.
