About this property

This expansive riverfront property spans over 19 acres and is situated in a serene natural setting within the foothill mountains of Chirripó, located in the Central Southern corridor of Costa Rica. The property features a 1000-foot airstrip, allowing for convenient access via prop or turbo prop STOL airplanes.

A commercial-grade food drying dehydrator facility is also present, alongside internal roads and walking trails. For relaxation and recreation, there is a riverfront yoga deck and a newly constructed saltwater pool, complemented by a half-size soccer field, reflecting the local culture. The property includes fuel storage capable of holding 3,500 gallons of diesel and gas, sufficient for over ten years of operation. A secure 5,000 square foot vehicle storage facility and workshop is also available, along with a private airstrip pending permits from the civil aviation authority of Costa Rica. At the edge of the property, a comfortable farmhouse is available for onsite staff, should you choose to employ them.
