This is a unique opportunity to own a 600 acre turnkey retreat center and eco-tourism destination located on the spectacularly beautiful Osa Peninsula in the stunning southern zone of Costa Rica.

In a world where sustainability is no longer a choice but a necessity, where the preservation of our environment, water, and food sovereignty are of paramount importance, this extraordinary estate stands as a beacon of hope. As our planet grapples with challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and the quest for harmonious coexistence with nature, this 600-acre rainforest property offers more than just an opportunity—it presents a profound solution.

Nestled in the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest, the estate promises to be a safe haven and a source of inspiration where the preservation of water and food sovereignty is not just a goal but a way of life. Join us on a journey to redefine the future, one rooted in ecological harmony, conservation, and natural beauty.

The property was originally acquired to prevent the mountain from being harvested for timber. Today it is a sanctuary for life and a testament to ecological innovation. As a convergence zone between the Talamanca Highlands to the East, and the Osa Peninsula to the West, it plays a pivotal role within a wildlife migratory corridor, making it a critical piece in the puzzle of preserving our planet’s biodiversity. This wildlife corridor encompasses tens of thousands of acres and forms an unprecedented land bridge between La Amistad National Park to the East and the Corcovado and Piedras Blancas National Parks, the Terraba Sierpe National Wetlands, and the Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve and the Golfito National Wildlife Refuge to the West.

This incredible project was created not only to demonstrate a model of sustainable living but also to provide job opportunities and to advance scientific studies in a socio-economically under-privileged and under-studied area within one of the most biologically-diverse places on Earth, according to National Geographic.

For 15 years, the estate thrived as a unique and sought-after destination for ecologically-minded travelers from around the world, hosting several thousand visitors annually. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all guest services were closed when Costa Rica temporarily closed its borders. Today it remains a fully-entitled sustainable community with full environmental permitting in place and retreat center blessed with miles of crystal-clear, spring-fed river frontage and countless waterfalls and natural swimming holes.

An Exclusive Opportunity Awaits: This unique offering is now available for acquisition for less than half of the investment made into the project since its inception. It offers a rare chance for a conservation-minded buyer to take the reins of an internationally-acclaimed rainforest community and conservation center to breathe fresh energy into a truly magical place.

3. Biological Research Station: In terms of biological diversity, the property is located in a virtually un-studied area of the country, making it ideal for establishing a Tropical Studies Biological Research Station for the international scientific community.

4. Eco-Tourism Destination: With existing infrastructure, such as cabinas, treehouses, restaurant, yoga shala/bar rancho, office, bodegas, high-speed internet, etc., and a rich history of eco-tourism, this property offers guaranteed revenue options for eco-tourism, retreats, residential development, and academia alike.

5. Sustainable Living: The property is fully self-sustainable, with renewable energy sources, gravity-fed pure mountain spring water, and on-site organic food production.
