About this place

Discover Hacienda San Carlos, a remarkable 1,274-hectare legacy estate nestled in the lush landscapes of Costa Rica's northern lowlands. This unique plot is not merely land; it embodies a self-sustaining ecosystem and serves as a versatile platform for a variety of potential uses, from agricultural ventures to eco-tourism developments. Designed for the visionary investor, the estate is an impressive 90% diversified in three main areas: forest conservation, livestock and farming, and reforestation, signalling both profitability and sustainability.

The vast expanse includes a significant section of mature forests that have been preserved for over 50 years and provide valuable carbon credits. A portion of the land is dedicated to established pasture ready for cattle ranching or organic farming, whilst reforestation efforts are aimed at cultivating timber species such as Teak and Cocobolo, promising long-term renewable income. The estate also participates in the Payment for Environmental Services scheme, offering tax benefits and compensation for preserving the biodiversity that make Costa Rica so iconic.

The natural beauty of this estate is complemented by its biodiversity, acting as a sanctuary for diverse wildlife including pumas, tapirs, and vibrant bird species. The San Carlos River, which marks the estate's boundary, enhances its allure with hidden streams and waterfalls that provide opportunities for recreational activities. With robust infrastructure already in place—including a spacious main residence and operational facilities—the property is primed for immediate use.

Located just four hours north of San José, the estate offers a harmonious blend of seclusion and accessibility, with modern conveniences like internet and reliable water access. It enjoys proximity to major attractions such as the majestic Arenal Volcano and the warm thermal springs of La Fortuna, setting the stage for potential eco-resort or wellness retreat developments.
