For Sale: 72 Acre farm with Spectacular Waterfalls!

A Unique Eco-Legacy Property Investment Opportunity: Step into an extraordinary opportunity to own a developed ecotourism property in Costa Rica, centered around a Waterfall Sanctuary. This is far more than a parcel of land — it’s a living destination, already operating, with built-in appeal, experiences, and rare natural assets.

Situated in the farming community of La Gloria, Puriscal, approximately 37 miles south of San José and about 12 miles from the Central Pacific coast. A popular area for tourism near both Jaco/ Los Suenos and Quepos/ Manual Antonio.

Surrounded by lush mountainous terrain, the site encompasses rainforest corridors, mirador overlooks, two river systems, swimming holes and five large natural waterfalls that cascade through the property.

Access is excellent! The property is just off a main road between the beach and the capital city of San Jose. This road is in the process of being paved. The approach includes a short secondary gravel road. 4X4 vehicle access may be needed inside the property in the wet season.

Property Highlights & Assets:

Waterfall network: Five waterfalls that traverse the terrain, offering natural swimming pools and potential for spa/wellness features.

Trails & topography: Multiple hiking loop options (moderate to scenic grade) through forested land — ideal for guided walks, meditation paths, or extension trails.

Existing infrastructure: Visitor facilities, restroom/shower/changing area, parking, paths, entry gates, and kitchen/dining gazebo (currently operating). There are caretakers that live onsite who handle security, maintenance, receiving guests, guiding tours and preparing guest meals.

Museology & education: On-site museum exhibits and interpretive elements focused on water science, sustainability, and cultural water traditions.

Scenic views & privacy: Elevated ridgelines offering views over valleys toward the coast, solitary ambiance, and wildlife corridors.

This asset is uniquely suited for:

Ecotourism & wellness retreats: Expand lodging, spa, sound baths, forest bathing, and wellness programs built around water.

Education & research center: Host school groups, universities, workshops, or water science residencies.

Boutique resort / glamping: Add eco-cabins, treehouses, or small lodges within the property.

Event venue: Weddings, corporate retreats, wellness summits, and experiential events using waterfalls and nature as backdrop.

Conservation / carbon credits: Partner with environmental programs, possibly generating revenue via conservation incentives or carbon offset schemes.

Why This Property Stands Out

Turnkey operation: You’re not acquiring raw land — you acquire a working museum / sanctuary with visitor flow, systems, signage, and brand recognition.

Rare natural water amenities: Having multiple waterfalls and natural pools on site is a rare and valuable natural asset. These are some of the most accessible waterfalls in the central Pacific coast.

Proximity to both San José and the Pacific: Close enough for access to infrastructure, yet sufficiently remote to preserve serenity.

Scalable & flexible: The land can absorb further development (eco-lodging, trails, wellness facilities) without losing its core identity.

Impact & legacy: Position yourself as a steward of water, nature, and education — with a project that resonates in sustainability and meaning.
