Jungle Eco Lodge - Fully Operational - Osa Peninsula

 $385,000 Reduced to $365,000

 This rare Jewel in the Jungle is something to behold. Eight open acres of immaculate grounds with mature fruit and palm trees, various species of ornamental trees and plants; ten acres of protected lowland primary rainforest plus two additional acres of usable land; your own stream and water source, newly built and recently remodeled buildings, solar power for the main source of electricity with a 9000 watt back-up generator and a water wheel for additional electricity.

Enjoy your own private swimming hole in the year-round fresh water stream that borders the property, which is also a water source for the lodge and cabins.
 
This slice of paradise comes complete with everything needed to live comfortably off the grid in the heart of the Osa Peninsula near Corcovado National Park which the National Geographic Society calls “The most bio-diverse place on the planet”. This property is surrounded by three unique eco-systems: lowland rainforest, mangroves and mountainous rainforest. There are no other lodges in the area.

This ten year established Eco Lodge is written up in all the important guidebooks, travel websites and under the new management for the last several years has received rave reviews on both and Lonely Planet.

Year round access to the property is by boat, thirty minutes from the town of Sierpe. You can also access the property by 4WD most of the year except during heavy rainy months in October and November.

The town of Sierpe is one of the port towns that accommodates tourism to Drake Bay. The newest International Airport in Costa Rica has just received environmental impact studies, is signed off on and will be built several miles outside the town of Sierpe. A bridge will be built over the Sierpe river connecting the town of Sierpe with this side of the Osa Peninsula with a new road that will allow travelers to drive all the way to Drake Bay. Halfway along that proposed road you will find this only established Eco Lodge. The future is bright for this investment opportunity as there is plenty of room on this property to expand.

The grounds are also set up for a family retreat if someone does not want to run a business but wants a place off the grid where there are only a few places left to truly be able to get away from it all.

This property is currently being run as an eco lodge with tours that include Corcovado National Park and Drake Bay. The main lodge has an owner’s quarters, living room and office, full size kitchen and eating area as well as two additional rooms. Owner’s quarters has it’s own private shower and bathroom.

There are two additional cabins. The deluxe cabin is secluded and sleeps five, has a private bathroom and shower as well as a front and back porches. The cabin sits against primary rainforest. The second cabin (pictured above) sleeps three comfortably and is steps away from a shared two bathroom/shower facility.

This property also comes with a covered 483 square foot open-air rancho near the stream (pictured below). There is a second smaller rancho/eating area near the lodge as well and a secure bodega (storage) area. 

The grounds are eight open acres of flat lawn with ornamental trees, plants and flowers giving the property a resort-like atmosphere in the middle of the jungle. Old growth trees surrounding the grounds make the property private from the small community nearby.

Wildlife abounds within and around this jungle paradise. White-faced monkeys visit the property frequently to eat the fruits on the trees and Scarlet Macaws are another regular visitor enjoying the mature almond trees that have been planted about the grounds.

This is living in nature at its best. The amount of wildlife that you will see and hear on the property itself is amazing; here is a short list: white-faced monkeys, scarlet macaws, kinkajous, toucans, sloths, caiman, boas, coatimundis, iguanas, river otters, anteaters and many species of birds and butterflies including the iridescent Blue Morpho.

The property also comes with two small farm lots where there is currently planted on the first lot: eight different species of bananas, plantains, pineapple, papaya, squash, sugar cane (both red and yellow), sweet potatoes, papaya, yucca, taro and chilies.

The second lot was planted with exotic fruit trees from around the world including: mangosteen, cherry mangosteen and snake fruit. In addition there are bananas, plantains, papaya, yucca, sweet potatoes and squash being grown here as well.

The main property has an abundant supply of coconuts, which we use for coconut water, coconut oil, and fresh coconut for our kitchen. There are also many large mature fruit producing trees on the main property including: three large mature water apple trees, eight leechee nut trees, several mango and manga trees, a large zapote tree, two cashew trees, numerous beach almond trees and a few newly planted fruit trees as well.

We have also had success growing the following items: ginger, turmeric, purple spinach, cranberry hibiscus, cilantro, basil, rosemary, mint, lemon grass, oregano, vanilla, nutmeg and black pepper.

This is a turnkey opportunity but also has the potential to expand into unlimited possibilities.

Included in the sale of this property is a fully operational eco lodge business. Click here to find more out about the business we have established.

When you live off the grid you will probably want a few options for transportation to make your life more comfortable and enjoyable out here. The lodge, at full price, comes with the following items:

Boat with Motor
19.5ft/5.94m two year old fiberglass boat with an eight month old 25 horsepower Suzuki 4-stroke motor. The boat was specially constructed as a lighter weight fiberglass boat making it sturdy without the drag of unnecessary extra weight.  We added a false bottom flat floor and finned the bottom of the boat helping eliminate drag. The boat has cushions for all the seats and a sun shade and can fit up to 6 people. This boat is perfect for getting into and out of the mangroves while being safe for the river too.

Two River Kayaks
One one-man kayak and one 2-man kayak. Both are top-of-the-line and shipped from the states.
