A Strategic Retreat in a Changing World
A place to live exceptionally well — with the independence, resilience and security that truly matter.
Located on the Nicoya Peninsula, in the area of Quebrada Honda, this private estate offers a rare combination of space, comfort and strategic resilience.
At 63 meters above sea level, the property is situated in safe lowlands, free from risks of flooding or landslides, while still benefiting from a warm but pleasant tropical climate – less extreme than the coast and without mountain cold.
The estate spans 12 hectares of private land with no direct neighbors, surrounded by nature and complete silence.
Approximately 8 hectares consist of natural forest with high biodiversity, home to a wide variety of wildlife including birds, small mammals and native species.
The remaining 4 hectares are well-maintained grassland and pasture, suitable for animal keeping such as horses, cattle, goats or similar livestock.
Views extend towards the Gulf of Nicoya and Chira Island, while the night sky reveals the Milky Way in stunning clarity due to zero light pollution.
The semi-circular building layout creates a protected inner courtyard and includes two main residential units, an additional apartment, four guest rooms with private bathrooms, office areas, workshops and storage rooms – all built to a high construction standard and in excellent condition.
Water security is guaranteed through own year-round water sources, multiple tanks and efficient rainwater management.
Existing solar infrastructure and strong expansion potential allow for a high degree of energy independence.
An established aquaponics system, a large pool (currently used as tilapia tank) and extensive food gardens provide real self-sufficiency options without sacrificing comfort.
The property is perfectly suited for both full-time residence and part-time ownership.
A trusted local caretaker solution is already available, including on-site living space, making remote ownership simple and stress-free.
The surrounding neighborhood consists of small rural homes and quiet local families – farmers, agricultural workers and people commuting to the nearby town of Nicoya.
It is a peaceful, stable and non-touristic area with no resorts, no nightlife and no stress – a genuine rural community.
Views & Natural Atmosphere
From the inner courtyard and main terraces, the estate offers open views over the surrounding jungle and towards the Gulf of Nicoya with Chira Island in the distance.
Mornings are accompanied by the sounds of howler monkeys in the forest, while in the evenings flocks of small green parrots (locally known as perricos) often pass over the property.
This creates a constant sense of being immersed in nature, without isolation or loss of comfort – a living environment defined by space, silence and biodiversity rather than by infrastructure or traffic.
Despite its privacy, the finca is strategically located close to some of Costa Rica’s most important natural attractions.
Pacific beaches are reachable within 60 to 90 minutes.
The nearby Barra Honda National Park offers caves, viewpoints and unique dry forest ecosystems.
Palo Verde National Park and the Tempisque River provide one of the country’s richest wetland areas for birdlife and biodiversity.
Day trips to volcanic regions such as Rincón de la Vieja and Tenorio are within 2 to 3 hours.
Monteverde and its famous cloud forest are approximately 2 hours away.
The Nicoya Peninsula is officially recognized as one of the world’s five Blue Zones, regions known for exceptional longevity, health and quality of life.
This makes the estate especially attractive for people who value not only privacy and independence, but also long-term well-being, natural living and healthy aging.
This is not a typical beach house.
This is a strategic second base for people who prefer independence over dependence – a true long-term retreat combining security, health and quality of life.
Long-Term Investment & Forestry Potential
Beyond residential use, the finca also offers strong long-term investment potential.
The property hosts a variety of rare and valuable hardwood species, including Cocobolo (rosewood) and other native trees.
This creates the option to develop a specialized forestry project focused on high-value hardwoods rather than conventional teak plantations.
Such an approach supports biodiversity, preserves ecological resilience and represents a sustainable long-term asset with increasing value over time.
Instead of monoculture, the finca allows for a regenerative forestry model combining environmental protection with strategic investment.

Aquaponics System / Pool Area
The 10 x 5 meter swimming pool has been transformed into a functional aquaponics and fish-farming system with tilapia, surrounding grow beds, biofiltration and solar-supported infrastructure. The system produces fish and vegetables in a natural cycle: nutrient-rich water from the fish is used to grow plants, while the plants help clean and filter the water. This creates a highly water-efficient and sustainable food-production system.
An important advantage: no structural changes were made to the pool itself. A future owner can easily decide whether to continue operating the aquaponics system, combine it with a smaller separate fish setup nearby, or convert the pool back into a classic swimming pool with minimal effort.
