30-Hectare Eco Farm for Sale in Puriscal, Costa Rica | Eco-Lodge & Glamping Development Opportunity

There are properties you buy, and there are properties that create opportunities. This 30-hectares eco farm in Mercedes Sur de Puriscal belongs to the second category.

Located in one of Costa Rica’s emerging eco-tourism regions, only a comfortable drive from San José, Jacó, Parrita, and Quepos, and close to La Cangreja National Park, this remarkable estate combines productive agriculture, abundant natural water resources, existing infrastructure, and outstanding development potential in a single investment. As demand continues to grow for authentic nature-based experiences, properties offering both income generation and expansion opportunities are becoming increasingly scarce.

From my professional perspective, one of the greatest strengths of this property is its versatility. An investor is not limited to a single business model. The farm can continue operating as a productive agricultural enterprise while gradually developing into an eco-lodge, luxury glamping resort, wellness retreat, boutique mountain hotel, Airbnb destination, regenerative farm, or sustainable residential community. Multiple revenue streams reduce investment risk while creating significant long-term value.

Water is becoming one of Costa Rica’s most valuable natural assets, and this property enjoys a distinct competitive advantage with four natural springs, internal creeks with natural swimming holes, potable water, and a 10,000-liter filtered water storage system. Combined with electricity, Starlink internet, three independent gated entrances, and an extensive internal road network, much of the essential infrastructure is already in place, allowing a new owner to focus on growth rather than basic improvements.

The farm already produces income through a diversified agricultural operation featuring approximately 500 soursop (guanábana) trees, 150 mango trees, 1,500 productive plantain plants, 200 banana plants, 100 mandarin lime trees, 1,000 dwarf coconut palms, sugar cane, corn, beans, cassava, and a variety of tropical fruit species. This productive component not only generates value today but also creates the perfect foundation for an agritourism experience.

Nature lovers and developers alike will appreciate more than 3 kilometers of internal hiking trails, panoramic mountain views, abundant wildlife, birdwatching opportunities, and the peaceful environment that today’s eco-conscious travelers increasingly seek. The existing main residence, caretaker’s home, and prepared building site provide an excellent starting point for future expansion.

In today’s market, it is increasingly difficult to find a property that combines size, abundant water, productive land, existing infrastructure, year-round accessibility, and genuine tourism potential. This is not simply raw land—it is a property with vision, functionality, and multiple paths toward creating significant long-term value.

Whether your goal is to develop Costa Rica’s next boutique eco-retreat, establish a regenerative agricultural project, create a wellness destination, or simply acquire a unique landholding with excellent appreciation potential, this eco farm represents a rare opportunity.

Peter van Hussen’s Professional Perspective

Having evaluated hospitality, eco-tourism, and investment properties throughout Costa Rica for more than two decades, I believe this farm possesses one of the characteristics sophisticated investors value most: flexibility. The existing agricultural production creates immediate utility, while the abundant water resources, established infrastructure, and exceptional natural setting provide tremendous upside for an eco-lodge, luxury glamping resort, wellness retreat, regenerative farm, or sustainable development.

What makes this property truly stand out is its combination of 74 acres of productive land, four natural springs, internal streams, existing residences, excellent year-round access, and multiple income possibilities—features that are becoming increasingly difficult to find in Costa Rica.

Whether your vision is to develop a world-class eco-tourism destination, establish a profitable regenerative farm, or secure a legacy investment with long-term appreciation, this property offers the location, resources, and versatility to make it a reality.
