Carate Rainforest Estate: A pristine tropical oasis
This rare and vast property is one of the best opportunities to fully inhabit Peninsula de Osa’s wild allure.
When driving down the Costanera highway most tend to find their destination along the way in one of the many iconic beaches Costa Rica’s Central Pacific area has to offer. From bohemian surf towns to ultra-developed residential areas, the vast majority of visitors can have their tropical fix satiated in all kinds of manners. Those seeking a more involved relationship with nature, however, will most likely find their ideal match further down the road.
It isn’t an immediate effect, but soon after crossing into Costa Rica’s South Pacific area the surroundings start to change. The engrossing tropical forests become denser and more vast, towns become more and more spread out, and an aura of genuine authenticity begins to sink in. It’s been well documented by many international outlets how the Osa Peninsula is one of the world’s most biologically diverse areas, but actually being there is an almost transformative experience.
If virgin forests, secluded beaches and full, natural immersion sound alluring, the Osa Peninsula is probably your ideal destination, and Carate Rainforest Estate might be all you’re looking for.
Boasting an expansive area of 136 hectares, this property is literally a tropical oasis. The ecosystems around it are vivid and inviting, as the mystical soundscapes of the primary forest blend into the stunning beachfront secondary forest, all while being crossed by the gentle stream of the seasonal Carate River. The best part? These natural landscapes are basically untouched, providing a fully organic environment ideal for those seeking an holistic relationship with Mother Earth. Cross paths with the vibrant Costa Rican wildlife as you make way to a breathtaking Ocean frontage in a virtually vacant beach.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, the property comes with its own paved airstrip, providing easy access to San José in less than an hour, and the possibility of visiting many other Costa Rican wonders by way of a short flight. If driving is more your thing, three world-class surf breaks neighbor the property in Playa Matapalo, Pan Dulce and Backwash.
Rarely are there any large parcels in the Osa Peninsula, as Corcovado National Park is one of the better preserved national parks in a country whose whole mantra is sustainability, making Carate Rainforest Estate truly a rare sight within the local real estate market. Its irreplicable location also comes with all proper concessions in place, being essentially ready to develop, if one were so inclined.
A private villa in perfect harmony with the rainforest. A communal space to strengthen one’s relationship with nature. An ecological resort for like minded guests who want to submerge themselves in the most pure and unadulterated version of tropical paradise. Carate Rainforest Estate can be all of these and more, it’s just waiting for someone to make the best of this once in a lifetime opportunity.
