Finca Aracari: Forest Home and Guest Casita on 9 Acres with Fruit Trees and Fibre in Lagunas, Dominical

A three-bedroom house and a separate guest casita, built in 2006, on about 9 acres (3.7 hectares) of rainforest and fruit trees in Lagunas, about 15 minutes from the beach at Dominical.

The main house. Vaulted ceilings in teak and other tropical woods over an open living, dining and kitchen area; a study with a wood-burning stove that could be a third bedroom; two bedrooms with their own bathrooms; and a covered veranda around a garden courtyard with a koi pond.

The casita. A studio guest house with its own entrance and driveway, kitchenette, bathroom and wraparound porch, used for family or rentals. Above it is a flat pad with room for another cabin or a pool.

Land and services. Bananas, plantains, coffee, cacao, mango, papaya, star fruit and citrus are planted through the forest; a seasonal creek and walking trails cross the land. The property fronts a public road with legal water from the Lagunas ASADA, and fibre internet is installed to both buildings.

Worth checking. Off Grid Destinations has not inspected this property or its documents. Before buying, have your own Costa Rican lawyer check the title and liens in the National Registry, the cadastral plan, permits for every structure and the legal water source, permits for the casita, and the ASADA connection in the seller’s name.
