Discover a unique property in San Ramón de Santa Teresita, Turrialba, where nature, cacao cultivation and peaceful living come together in a beautiful setting.
Covering approximately 3.8 hectares (38,000 m²), this farm is dedicated to fine-flavor cacao production through an agroforestry system that blends naturally with the surrounding vegetation and mature trees. Located about 2 km from the Guayabo Archaeological Site, one of Costa Rica’s most important pre-Columbian heritage sites, the property offers privacy, a close connection to nature and interesting opportunities for rural development.
The cacao plantation is one of the property’s main highlights. The farm includes a small post-harvest processing facility, allowing part of the production process to take place on-site. This offers an opportunity to continue the existing cacao operation and explore additional possibilities related to cacao production.
A river runs through the property, creating a peaceful natural setting surrounded by lush vegetation. The farm’s topography also provides panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including Turrialba Volcano and the distant Pilón de Azúcar mountain.
The combination of flowing water, mature trees, cacao cultivation and open views makes this property an appealing place to enjoy a quieter lifestyle away from the pace of the city.
Built between 2021 and 2023 using materials sourced from the property itself, the main house features a distinctive design that blends naturally with its surroundings. Large windows bring in natural light and offer views of the surrounding greenery and landscape.
The house includes two bedrooms, one bathroom and an open-plan living area. It also features a spacious outdoor kitchen with a covered terrace, designed as a central gathering space for cooking, spending time with family and friends, and enjoying the natural surroundings.
The property also includes a second building of approximately 40 m², traditionally known as a staff house. It provides additional space that can be adapted to suit the future owner’s needs.
Thanks to its proximity to the Guayabo Archaeological Site, its cacao plantation, the river and the area’s natural beauty, the farm offers potential for a rural tourism project, subject to the applicable permits and regulatory requirements.
Possible activities to explore include cacao-related experiences, guided farm tours, birdwatching, hiking and wellness activities such as yoga and nature retreats.
More than just a farm with a house, this property offers an opportunity to combine cacao production, a nature-oriented lifestyle and a distinctive rural development project in a part of Costa Rica known for its natural and cultural richness.
