Bosque de Paz – Private Cloud Forest Conservation Reserve with Field Station

386 Hectares | Sarchí, Costa Rica | Combined Legacy Price: USD 5,000,000

Bosque de Paz is a private biological reserve offered as a single, unified conservation project for universities, foundations, and institutions seeking permanent environmental stewardship in Costa Rica.

Located on the Continental Divide at elevations of 1,500–2,000 meters, the property forms a critical biological corridor between national parks, protecting water sources and biodiversity in one of the world’s most species-rich cloud forests — just 1 hour 30 minutes from San José.

The Reserve

• 386 hectares of primary and secondary cloud forest
• Rivers, waterfalls, and established trail network
• Exceptional biodiversity suitable for long-term research and monitoring

The Field Station

• 10-room eco-lodge functioning as a research and lodging base
• Restaurant, lounge, terrace, and workspaces
• Fiber-optic internet for data transmission and academic collaboration

The lodge is intentionally limited in scale and designed to support conservation and research, not mass tourism. It provides modest, mission-aligned cash flow that helps fund staffing, maintenance, and long-term protection of the reserve.

Responsible Growth

Within existing environmental frameworks, the property allows for carefully controlled expansion such as additional research housing, classrooms, or monitoring infrastructure — always aligned with conservation priorities.

Stewardship Commitment

The sellers’ intention is explicit: Bosque de Paz must remain preserved.
Ownership is envisioned as custodianship — enabling research, education, and biodiversity protection across generations.

As Peter van Hussen reflects:
“Some properties are bought. Others are taken into care. Bosque de Paz is a functioning conservation system — an intact forest supported by a small field station that allows preservation to sustain itself without compromise.”

Acquisition Structure

The preferred transaction is unified ownership of the entire reserve and field station.

• Total area: 386 hectares
• Combined legacy price: USD 5,000,000

Alternative acquisition structures exist for organizations whose mission or governance requires a different configuration and can be discussed privately.

Bosque de Paz is not a development opportunity. It is a permanent conservation legacy — protected, operational, and ready for its next steward.
