Property/business For Sale in Central Pacific-Los Suenos Area, Puntaranas Costa Rica Pura Vida Gardens And Waterfalls Asking Price: $4,500,000 USD Pura Vida Gardens and Waterfalls
P.O. Box 209 Playa Jaco, Costa Rica 506-2645-1001 fax 506-2645-1002
Pura Vida Gardens and Waterfalls has been named the #1 garden in Latin America by Integrated Conservation Research Group and #1 in Central America by the Tropical Sierra Foundation.
In 1999, millions of plants and over a mile of manicured trails were added to the natural existing beauty of 60 mountain top, rain forest acres, next to the upper boundaries of Carara National Park. Two homes were built as well as two restaurants and several outbuildings. Underground utilities and an irrigation system covers the entire property. Electricity, telephone, internet and water is installed and police, health care,
grocery store and church are 3 kilometers away in the village of Bijagual.
Over 7,000 visitors yearly enjoy the property and estimates double with the completion of the “New Highway” from San Jose.
The property is ideal for someone who wants to continue and expand the existing usage. However, it is fantastic for private use or company use and development prospects are great.
Current owners know that Pura Vida Gardens will be one of the top attractions of Costa Rica in the future and because of this may consider investment or partnership.
The property has been “sectioned” off so a buyer might purchase all or part of the property. Section One is the main house and property that abuts the garden but is private. Section Two is the gardens and Section Three is the vacant land abutting the upper part of the gardens. Each of these sections is detailed on the attached report.

Pura Vida Gardens and Waterfalls
Business
Visitors come from all over, 40% cruise ship passengers, 30% from local hotels, 20% group functions and 10% from people just passing through the area.
The “new road” from San Jose will be a reality in the next few months. Why does this help so much? There are 100’s of foreign businesses in San Jose and tens of thousands of visitors to San Jose. All attractions that are within a easy drive of San Jose are highly successful. This “new road” will place the gardens within this easy drive range.
Current operational expenses average $7,000 per month for the entire property. If someone chooses to not operate the gardens and use the property for private use the expenses for the restaurants and gift shops would be eliminated leaving only the garden expense of about $3,000 per month.
