Description
The 19+ acre riverfront property is located in a quiet natural area in the foothill mountains of Chirripó in the country's Central Southern corridor. A 1000’ foot airstrip awaits you to land your prop or turbo prop STOL airplane - right in your own backyard. The property is engineered and equipped to live out the end of the world or simply take peace in true sovereignty. A clean, pure and tested mountain spring water source is born on the property. The property also features a year-round river, strong enough to power the state-of-the-art hydro-electricity to the internal operations.
There is a ~$300k off-grid solar, lithium and hydroelectric power plant. Over 3,000 hand-selected fruit trees, 2 organic green houses, 2 organic tree and vegetable nurseries, a commercial grade food drying dehydrator facility, internal roads and walking trails, a riverfront yoga deck, and a brand-new saltwater pool which make the property very secure, autonomous and enjoyable. Overlooking the pool is a half size soccer field - a real Central American way to burn off some energy. Additionally, there is fuel storage for 3,500 gallons of diesel and gas (enough to operate for 10+ years and drive > 90k), a 5,000 square foot secure and sealed vehicle storage facility / workshop and a pending to be permitted (with the civil aviation of CR) private airstrip. There is a comfortable farmhouse for onsite staff at the property's edge, should you want to keep onsite staff. The only thing missing is planting your own flag.
In addition to having all of these utilitarian elements, the property is very stylish and edified with comfortable living quarters. The main house is a two bedroom, two bath (two toilets, two bath tubs, three showers) structure with beautiful finishes, exquisite exotic hardwood & teak woodwork and a SPA, sauna, ice bath and two outdoor tubs. There is also a beautiful indoor and adjacent outdoor kitchen to prepare and enjoy exotic cuisine grown right on the estate.
100% of the property is organic - with no synthetic chemicals used - from the food forest to the gardens to the nurseries all the way to the cleaning supplies and sheets - everything is 100% organic and most of the time certified organic. All of the fruit is organic and include current and ongoing production of: (two greenhouses & grounds: cucumber, tomato, lettuce, spinach, celery, carrot, red onion, kale, chard, peppers, tubers, etc. The food forest production: durian, mangosteen, coconut, mango, cacao, banana, plantain, cherry, rambutan, orange, lemon, lime, macadamia nut, cashew nut, pineapple, etc). Also, a variety of medicinal herbs are included throughout the property.
There is a free-standing office (fiber optic internet - all utilities are underground) and a separate 500+ ft 2 guests casita. The nearby saltwater pool also features a rancho which overlooks your private soccer pitch that has professional drainage and is a great recreational area. The property sleeps 10 in beds comfortably and can be expanded to sleep 14 easily. There are existing high end architectural plans to add two additional bedrooms and two additional bathrooms as well as a lounge area near the main house. Construction of this addition can be executed by the existing owner and his construction team at cost.
An additional 4,000+ square foot home can be constructed above the airstrip for incredible views of both the mountains and valleys. Current owner has plans for this should new owner be interested in them. Airstrip is 1,000+ feet, perfect for a small Cessna or STOL aircraft. Hangar plans and horse corral plans have been established for this side of the estate and can be transferred to new owner. A large party rancho has been designed for the main property by the pool and soccer field, inquire for plans on this - PDF can be sent.
For income, the property will produce ~six figures in annual income in the coming years from its exotic fruit production. Hundreds of durian trees have been planted which have high demand and low supply in Costa Rica, bringing in as much as $25 USD per fruit. Some of the durian trees have already begun to fruit - adding food security and value for future owners. Should the new owner want to create additional income or cost offsetting, the new owner could subdivide two multi-acre lots above the airstrip for turnkey luxury homes that could be sold in the future.
A dedicated, trained and trustworthy staff of ~8 services the property and helps add a real sense of community with resort style service available as needed. Staff can be reduced to 2-3 should the new owner want privacy and minimal maintenance. There are beautiful mountain views, a cool, moderate climate and the estate is approx 30 minutes to a full-service town - just far enough to feel 'away from it all' but close enough to have a social life and easily sourced supplies. Beach access via Polaris RZR is a 45 minute drive over the foothill mountains or 1 hour 15 minutes via main roads in car. 4x4 access is not required for this property! Serious inquiries only please.
