Location: Perez Zeledon, Costa Rica
Located in the Quizarra area of Pérez Zeledón, this exceptional property of a little over six acres offers a rare combination of comfortable living, rich biodiversity, and thoughtfully implemented sustainable land use. Set within the Alexander Skutch Biological Corridor, an internationally recognized conservation area, the property enjoys a privileged natural setting known for its extraordinary plant and wildlife diversity, while still offering easy, year-round access via a public paved road suitable for all vehicle types.
The property features two residences. The main home is a charming and well-designed four-bedroom, three-bathroom house, created with comfort, efficiency, and harmony with the surrounding environment in mind. Abundant windows throughout the home maximize natural light and cross-ventilation, significantly reducing the need for fans or artificial lighting. This smart design keeps the interior bright, airy, and naturally comfortable in Quizarra’s mild, pleasant year-round climate. A rainwater collection and storage system is integrated into the home and landscape, providing water for non-potable uses both inside and outside the house and supporting an efficient, low-impact lifestyle.
In addition to the main residence, the property includes a separate two-bedroom, one-bathroom guest house. This second home is ideal for visiting family and friends, rental income, caretaker housing, or multi-generational living, adding flexibility and value to the property.
The land has been carefully developed as an established agroforestry permaculture project, making it especially attractive for buyers interested in sustainability, food security, or eco-focused living. The property includes a thriving food forest designed using syntropic agriculture principles, with a wide variety of tropical fruit trees already in production. Approximately 250 cacao trees are planted across the land, most of them currently producing for personal use, along with a healthy number of coffee plants also in production. These productive areas are complemented by a preserved section of native forest with mature wild trees, providing important habitat and ecological balance.
Ornamental, flowering, and medicinal plants are distributed throughout the property, supporting pollinators and enhancing biodiversity. Wildlife is abundant and regularly observed, including monkeys, deer, and an impressive diversity of bird species, making this an exceptional setting for nature lovers and birdwatchers.
A natural creek runs through the entire property, shaded by mature trees and providing both water security and a tranquil natural atmosphere. The creek and forested areas also create a strong sense of privacy and separation from neighboring properties.
This Quizarra property offers a rare opportunity to own a well-balanced estate that combines two homes, productive land, and protected natural beauty. Whether envisioned as a private family residence, a sustainable lifestyle project, or an eco-investment, it stands out as a truly special offering in one of Pérez Zeledón’s most ecologically significant regions.
