Property Overview
The farm is carefully divided between productive teak plantations, preserved forest, and flat ocean-view land ideal for development, ensuring both immediate and long-term value.
• Total land area: 145.5 hectares (359 acres)
• Approximately 70 hectares planted with 20-year-old teak ready for harvest
• Estimated teak volume: 3,875 m³ with projected international market value near $1.5M
• 11 hectares of younger teak plantations (5 years old), with profitable harvesting beginning around year 10
• 64.5 hectares of mixed-use land featuring native forest, farmland, fruit trees, as well as ocean-and mountain-view zones
• Property crossed by various rivers and creeks, including the Caño Seco River

Environmental & Investment Value
This estate demonstrates how profitable land management and environmental restoration can coexist. Teak trees were planted exclusively on former cattle pasturelands that had been deforested decades ago, allowing commercial reforestation to restore ecological balance while generating income.
Benefits include:
• Renewable timber production
• Carbon capture and oxygen production
• Protection of water sources
• Restoration of wildlife habitats
The land now supports abundant wildlife, including monkeys, deer, anteaters, pumas, and diverse bird species, creating a vibrant natural ecosystem.
Development Potential
In addition to its current agricultural income, the property presents extensive development opportunities due to its size, zoning, location, and natural beauty. Potential uses include:
• Eco-lodge or hospitality development
• Wellness or retreat community
• Residential or mixed-use development
• Conservation-oriented projects
• Agro-tourism or sustainable living communities
Its strategic location offers proximity to major tourist destinations while preserving privacy and tranquility rarely found near coastal hubs.
A Rare Opportunity
Few properties combine productive agricultural income, ocean-view development land, abundant water resources, environmental sustainability, and proximity to Costa Rica’s most desirable beach destinations.
After two decades of careful stewardship, this farm stands fully prepared for its next phase—whether as a continued sustainable timber operation or as a visionary project.
This is an opportunity to invest in land that delivers both financial returns and positive environmental impact.
