Organic Food-Forest Farm with River, Lodge and Guest Cabin near Guápiles

Two titled parcels totalling about 4.9 acres (2 ha) on Costa Rica’s Caribbean slope, farmed without agrochemicals for over 20 years, with a mature food forest, a river on the boundary, a two-storey lodge and a remodelled guest cabin.

The lodge. Built in 2011 (12 x 12 m), set back from the road and about 75 m from the river. Downstairs: a large open hall suited to gatherings or retreats, a wet bar, a separate kitchen, a small bedroom, a bathroom, laundry, a small woodworking workshop and an aquaculture pond. Upstairs: a wraparound terrace over the canopy, two bedrooms, a lounge, a TV room and a bathroom.

The guest cabin. Fully remodelled in 2025: open-plan living and kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a porch. It suits a caretaker, a rental or guests.

The land. More than 150 producing fruit trees (citrus, avocado, breadfruit, jackfruit, rambutan, starfruit, guava and more), a young coffee patch, timber trees and untouched forest across the river. Macaws, sloths, howler monkeys, otters and river turtles are seen often.

Utilities and title. Grid electricity (ICE) and a hand-dug well with an electric pump. Two titled parcels, free of liens, with municipal taxes paid.

Location. Public road frontage with an electric gate; 1 km from La Rita and its schools, 6 km from Guápiles.

Worth checking. The well’s registration, and river setbacks on both parcels.
