About this property

Just outside San José, this land combines accessibility with rich biodiversity and conservation value, making it a potential long-term investment.

Panoramic views of Irazú Volcano and the Central Mountain Range can be enjoyed from various points on the land, providing an inspiring backdrop for future projects. The property is suitable for various visionary uses, such as a private nature retreat, eco-lodge, biological station, or a research facility for universities, as well as a conservation-focused investment. There is an opportunity to create selective clearings within the secondary forest, allowing for responsible development while preserving the surrounding rainforest.

From an investment perspective, the land qualifies for Costa Rica’s Pago de Servicios Ambientales (PSA) program, which offers government payments for conservation efforts, and it may also be eligible for biodiversity and carbon credit opportunities, subject to approval and program requirements.
