Finca Chilanga, located in San Mateo, Alajuela, is just an hour’s drive from Juan Santamaria International Airport. This 36-hectare property offers opportunities for income generation through hospitality, rural tourism, agriculture, and farming. The property is naturally segmented into terraces, ideal for diverse residential offerings with spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. Additionally, there is potential for an eco-friendly residential project, which could be developed in stages.
San Mateo is a growing area in Costa Rica with rising demand for residential properties. The region benefits from a strong real estate market, available land, abundant water resources, and proximity to Route 27 and Monte del Aguacate, which connect the Central Valley to the Pacific coast. Plans for large-scale government projects, including free zones and a new international airport, are set to further enhance its appeal.
The property is just 15-20 minutes from San Mateo, which has supermarkets, restaurants, and medical services. The Central Pacific region is accessible within 45 minutes, including popular destinations like Jaco and renowned surfing spots such as Hermosa Beach and Manuel Antonio National Park. Nearby towns like Orotina, San Ramón, and Grecia are also experiencing significant real estate growth.
Finca Chilanga currently features three luxury villas, each 57 m², with high-end finishes made from five different types of wood. The villas include terrace decks, high-speed internet, and air conditioning. Amenities include an infinity pool, a one-hectare garden, and shared kitchen, dining, and laundry facilities. Since its establishment in 2020, the property has been successful in the hospitality sector, garnering over 500 positive reviews on platforms like Airbnb and Booking. Most guests come from the US, Canada, and Europe, enjoying the peaceful environment and authentic Costa Rican experience.
Sustainability is central to Finca Chilanga’s operations. The sale of fruits like avocados, mangoes, and lemons helps cover property maintenance costs. The property also contains 330 teak trees, projected to yield $330,000 USD over the next 3-5 years. All timber used in construction is sourced from the farm, including Teak, Ash, Cedar, and Guanacaste wood.
The property also comes with a successful superhost brand, operational on major platforms since 2020. Visitors enjoy stunning sunsets, a 10 km network of scenic trails, and opportunities to reconnect with nature, making it an ideal starting or ending point for a visit to Costa Rica. The property aligns with trends such as digital nomadism, eco-tourism, and wellness. Additionally, the farm’s agricultural model is both locally productive and suitable for international exports.
For potential developers, the current owners have created a master plan, which can be shared for future development aligned with specific goals. The combination of existing infrastructure, abundant land, and natural surroundings offers significant potential for growth in both residential and farming ventures.
