An established 11.9-acre (4.8 ha) farm at about 1,250 m in the foothills of Chirripó, Costa Rica’s highest mountain, near San Gerónimo de San Pedro in Pérez Zeledón, with a wooden eco-home and a full set of farm buildings.
The farm. Certified organic for four years in the past. Volcanic soil and a cool climate grow coffee, bananas, avocados, citrus, potatoes, ginger, turmeric and more, with terracing, irrigation and vetiver grass to hold the soil.
The home. About 350 m² built from local timber, with four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, solar water heating and a biodigester treating wastewater. Mountain and valley views from almost every point of the land.
Buildings. A large barn and garage, composting area, two greenhouses, a goat house, laundry area, visitor rooms and a 12 m² concrete storage room with running water below the house.
Location. A short drive from San Isidro de El General (shops, hospital, services). San Gerónimo is growing as a trailhead for the newer Chirripó trekking route. The agent mentions potential for small-scale hydroelectric power.
Worth checking. The water source and its permit, the current organic status, and any hydro plans, which need a water concession.
Solar water heating. The agent notes potential for small-scale hydroelectric power.
A biodigester treats wastewater.
