Location: Buenos Aires, Costa Rica
For three generations, our family has protected this extraordinary mountain property from threats such as hunting, extensive cattle farming, and deforestation. The result is a place of exceptional scenic beauty, abundant water resources, and remarkable biodiversity. It also plays a vital role in supplying water to nearby communities.
The property encompasses approximately 75.5 hectares (186.6 acres), of which only **2.8 hectares (6.9 acres)—less than 4% of the total area—**are designated for development. This allows more than 96% of the land to remain in its natural state, ensuring the long-term protection of the forest and its ecosystem.
The property participates in conservation initiatives administered by Costa Rica’s National Forestry Financing Fund (FONAFIFO), as well as the Voluntary Forestry Regime. Subject to applicable regulations, these mechanisms may provide environmental incentives and tax benefits.
Its numerous natural springs collectively produce a flow of more than seven liters of water per second. For this reason, the property is an integral part of the Bosque de Agua Biological Corridor and contributes to the water supply of both the property and the community of Volcán de Buenos Aires in Puntarenas.
This abundance of natural resources creates opportunities for sustainable initiatives, including ecotourism, nature-based accommodations, wildlife and birdwatching experiences, and—subject to the necessary studies and permits—small-scale hydroelectric power generation.
A biodiversity inventory conducted on the property has identified more than 154 species, a number that continues to grow as further research is carried out. The forest is home to approximately 13.5% of all bird species recorded in Costa Rica.
The property also supports a diverse range of trees, amphibians, and mammals. Its wildlife includes pumas, monkeys, peccaries, pacas, armadillos, and the great tinamou—a remarkable bird known for the distinctive blue color of its eggs.
More than simply a property, this land is a sanctuary for wildlife and a tangible model of conservation and sustainable development.
A Conservation Project for Conservation-Minded Owners
Our priority is to find the right steward: an individual, family, or organization that understands the environmental significance of this land and is committed to protecting it with the same care, love, and respect it has received for generations.
We are not interested in selling merely for the sake of a transaction. Our goal is to entrust this legacy to someone who shares our vision, recognizes the extraordinary natural wealth it protects, and appreciates the opportunities it offers for responsible and sustainable use.
To guide this process, we have entrusted the marketing of the property to an internationally renowned real estate firm known for its personalized service, sensitivity toward exceptional properties, and respect for the history and distinctive character of every place it represents.
Rather than working solely with a real estate advisor, we have chosen to collaborate with a professional who shares our values and our love of nature. Her experience supporting animal-rescue initiatives, together with her enthusiasm and commitment to conservation, makes her the ideal person to assist those interested in learning more about this unique property.
