263-Acre Farm in San Isidro El General | River & Waterfall

This 263-acre ranch and farmstead along the Rio San Antonio offers the kind of self-sufficient Costa Rica lifestyle that's nearly impossible to find at this scale. Rolling pastures, dense forest, three year-round creeks, and a striking 30-foot waterfall make up a property that feels like its own private world — because it essentially is. Surrounded by large ranches with no neighbors in sight, this is total privacy at 3,600 to 4,300 feet of elevation, where the air is cool and the hillsides stay green year-round.

Two recently built homes — each with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and approximately 700 square feet — are already in place. One is occupied by an on-site caretaker and his family; the other is used part-time by the current owner. A covered corral and fenced pastures support the working side of the property, where horses, cows, and sheep currently graze. Two acres of coffee, two acres of bananas and plantains, mature fruit trees, and two tilapia ponds round out a fully productive operation. Electricity and spring water are already connected.

Multiple natural building sites across the property offer wide-open views, including the city lights of San Isidro El General below — ideal for a private retreat, a small collection of custom homes, or an eco-lodge. The fertile volcanic soil and abundant fresh water make this one of the most compelling sustainable farming properties in the Southern Zone.

San Isidro El General is just 30 to 40 minutes away, giving you access to hospitals, international schools, banks, and a full commercial center while still living in true rural Costa Rica. For expats and investors exploring Costa Rica real estate with serious land, this San Isidro property for sale delivers scale, water resources, and income potential that rarely come to market — all for $600,000.
