Quintessential Costa Rica… this description summarizes this 1,400 acre property within the Quepos Biological Corridor. Although located just 15 minutes to the town of Quepos, the property transports you into a world of its own. The property is comprised in one plano, but split into three distinct parts—the 750-acre primary forest reserve, the private park highlighted by voluminous rivers, waterfalls, hanging bridges, and the low lands with the new 2 bedroom house and visitor center.
Fila Chonta Mountain Range is one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet, and the property sits in the center of this special part of the world. 80% of the property is virgin rainforest. It is home to a long list of rare species of amphibious, avian, reptilian, and mammalian wildlife. The main reason for the abundance of flora and fauna is water. The mountain and river valleys are full of year round water sources. In fact, the water from high-flow springs and aquifers was tested and the results returned an *Evian-level of purity.
For these eminent factors, the owners have established their own private national park focused on conservation, preservation and education. From the Visitor’s Center (that serves drinks and local meals) visitors can explore a network of trails, hanging bridges and platforms on guided and non-guided tours.
There is also a new 2-bedroom house and the potential for expanding accommodations is huge—large flat areas by natural pond and scenic sloped areas for lodging rising up from the Visitor’s Center require little earth moving and infrastructure.
An ideal centerpiece for any conservation group or “green” entrepreneur, this property demands a steward of the land. Even the Harlequin Frog, once thought extinct, finds refuge here… how about you?
Fonofivo income is provided on about 500 Ha.

I hereby declare that I know Mr. Peter Van Hussen, owner of Eco-Realtor Costa Rica Company, for more than 5 years.
During all that time, Peter has characterized himself, among other personal merits, for been a person who loves nature and for working actively in projects, programs, commissions and working groups related to nature preservation and to environmental conservation in general.
During all the years that I worked as an environmental advisor for the Central Pacific Chamber of Commerce and for the Municipality of Garabito County, both located in Jacó City, I could observe that Peter was regularly invited to be part of projects and working commissions that had to do –among other topics- with the reduction of the environmental pollution existing in the Garabito County due to untreated sewage waters, with conservation and restoration of the watersheds that exist in the mountain zone of the county, with the problems that exist in the coastal zone, with ecotourism development, with protection and development of the nearby national parks and equivalent reserves, and in general with sustainable development of Garabito.
In all these commissions and working groups, Peter stands out for his excellent ideas and for his very active participation, and for the personal experience he demonstrated because of the jobs he has had and because of the many trips he has taken in his life.
Sincerely yours,
Mario A. Boza
Vice Minister of Natural Resources
Co founder of Costa Rica’s National ParksMario A. Boza
Peter was personally recommended to me by one of his peers – a successful real estate professional – and I quickly knew why. I realized that Peter’s ethics towards responsible stewardship of land was exactly what I was looking for in marketing my unusual property of virgin forest. He listened carefully and understood my desire to search for a buyer intending to preserve the forest in perpetuity, and he already had the connections to advertise to this type of client. I am very impressed by the weight Peter places in responsibility towards a sustainable environment as an integral part of his business.
