14 Hectare Cacao Farm Retreat In Tierra Oscura

A sheltered waterfront property where an established cacao grove, mature tropical forest, and the calm waters of Tierra Oscura Lagoon come together. Spread across 14 hectares, this former cacao farm still holds at least 1,000 healthy trees beneath the forest canopy. Two creeks cross the land, while elevated areas farther into the property offer different perspectives over the surrounding jungle and lagoon. Three existing cabanas and a small house awaiting completion provide a practical starting point for enjoying the property and shaping what comes next. THE PROPERTY The property combines cleared and cultivated areas with extensive mature forest. Near the waterfront, the existing cabanas sit within landscaped tropical grounds surrounded by palms, flowering plants, and established trees. The remaining cacao trees preserve an important part of the land’s agricultural history. A future owner could explore bringing the farm back into production, maintain the grove on a smaller scale, or simply enjoy the character it brings to the property. Two creeks run through the land, adding another natural element to the landscape. Deeper into the property, areas of old-growth forest and elevated terrain create opportunities to explore different settings while preserving the privacy and natural character of the land. Three wooden cabanas are already in place, along with a small house that still needs to be completed. At the shoreline, an existing dock and covered overwater structure provide direct access to the protected waters of the lagoon. THE LIFESTYLE Life here is centred around the land and water. Mornings can begin beneath the cacao trees, along the creeks, or overlooking the calm lagoon. The sheltered waterfront is well suited to arriving by boat, kayaking, swimming, or simply spending time beside the water. With existing structures already surrounded by tropical gardens and forest, the property offers an immediate connection to the natural environment while leaving
