FINCA EL RETORNO spans over 9 hectares (23+ acres) in the upper watershed of the Rio Nosara. The property features an organic vegetable garden of almost an acre, complete with drip irrigation and a creek-fed water pump and tank for use in the dry season. Seven hectares are presently in excellent pasture, on which horses and cattle can thrive. Other options for the land include planting a variety of fruit trees and coffee, or allowing the natural forest to regenerate on part or most of the property, providing a significant contribution to the conservation of the watershed and biodiversity. The property borders a private nature reserve, and in its upper portion has spectacular views of the nearby Montealto Nature Reserve, established by the community decades ago to guarantee the health of the river, and which boasts excellent hiking and birding. It’s also a short walk from the waterfall and swimming hole on the Rio Nosara that gives the community of Pilangosta its name.
The property has a recently remodeled 4-bedroom farmhouse, as well as excellent sites for building one or two additional houses or cabins. The property borders a paved road that allows quick, 10-minute access by car to the heart of the town of Hojancha. Another public road borders the upper portion of the farm. The property is connected to the public electricity grid and to potable water from the local community water board. Water from a spring and a creek that flows through the land year-round is also available.
Whether you envision a peaceful family farm, a thriving commercial venture, or a green building project, FINCA EL RETORNO provides a canvas for your work and dreams to flourish.
