Thriving Permaculture Paradise in Costa Rica
Nestled in the lush mountains of Puntarenas Province, Finca Sylvatica offers a unique opportunity to own an established 8.5-hectare (21-acre) permaculture farm, timber plantation, and forest preservation reserve. This exceptional property represents the culmination of nearly two decades of ecological research, sustainable design, and careful stewardship.
The name "Sylvatica" means "forest-loving" in Latin, perfectly capturing the essence of this special place where ecological stewardship meets practical living.
Thousands of fruit trees and edible plants designed by an on-site permaculture teacher over seven years, including multiple varieties of citrus, tropical fruits, and diverse edibles.
A watershed that feeds several natural springs, including one that provides the house with year-round potable water. The property also borders a beautiful river with a secluded swimming hole.
Charming house built in 2018 with electricity and reliable internet reception throughout the entire property, offering the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and modern convenience.
Academic research site since 2005, hosting dozens of studies in reforestation, seed distribution, conservation, restoration, wildlife habitat, and biodiversity.
Abundant wildlife including toucans, sloths, iguanas, basalisks, oropendulas, and jaguarundi, a testament to the property's ecological health and conservation value.
Five mature construction-grade bamboo patches plus hundreds of mature timber trees including white oak, amarillon, maria, mayo, and pine—a significant investment in sustainable building materials.
At least five different potential building sites across the property, four of which can receive gravity-fed spring water from the farm, offering diverse development opportunities.
Just a 5-10 minute walk to town where you'll find grocery stores, hardware stores, restaurants, and daily direct bus routes to San José and surrounding areas.
Finca Sylvatica represents not just a property purchase, but an investment in a sustainable lifestyle and a legacy of ecological stewardship.
