About this property

Located in Fila Negra de Carara, Turrubares, Costa Rica, this eco-productive farm spans 98.4 hectares (984,000 m²) and is strategically positioned within a significant biological corridor along the Central Pacific coast. The property emphasizes sustainable production and environmental conservation, making it suitable for ecotourism. It features established teak and melina plantations that are 15 years old, alongside areas of natural forest that are part of an active contract with the FONAFIFO program for Payment for Environmental Services (PES). The farm also incorporates an agroforestry system where vanilla grows naturally within the teak plantation, presenting a unique opportunity for green investors and eco-productive developers. The farm is well-suited for the commercial cultivation of natural vanilla (Vanilla planifolia) under an agroforestry system, utilizing teak as a living support. This setup allows for premium production without deforestation, a harmonious integration with protected forest areas, diversified income streams from vanilla, timber, and PES, reduced operating costs, and a high potential for organic certification. Currently, vanilla is thriving naturally within the forest system, indicating the land's favorable climate and soil conditions. Additionally, the property includes areas of natural forest registered in the FONAFIFO program, which generates recurring income from Environmental Services (PES). This allows the owner to earn returns through conservation efforts, protect water resources and biodiversity, enhance the ecological and legal value of the property, and align the project with international sustainability standards. This aspect transforms the property into a productive environmental asset, rather than merely a real estate investment.
