Located in Javilla, Cañas, Guanacaste, just 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from National Route 1 (Inter-American Highway), this exceptional 166.52-hectare cattle ranch offers highly favorable conditions for beef cattle production and fattening, dairy farming, grazing, hay and forage production, while also providing attractive potential for rural tourism, agritourism, and nature-based projects.

A Region with a Strong Cattle-Ranching Tradition

Guanacaste has historically been closely associated with cattle ranching. Its extensive rural landscapes, strong sabanero (Costa Rican cowboy) culture, availability of grazing land, and access to important agricultural and livestock centers have made the province one of Costa Rica’s best-known regions for cattle breeding, raising, and fattening.

The ranch’s location in Javilla de Cañas provides an important strategic advantage. Situated approximately 15 km from Route 1, the property offers the privacy, space, and tranquility of a large rural estate while maintaining relatively convenient access to one of Costa Rica’s main transportation corridors.

This connectivity facilitates the logistics required for an efficient cattle operation, including the delivery of supplies, movement of workers, access for livestock trucks, and transportation of cattle. Animals can be sold directly from the ranch, transferred to other farms, or transported to livestock auctions and other commercial markets.

Its location within the canton of Cañas also provides convenient access to several productive areas throughout Guanacaste, making the property attractive to both established cattle producers and investors seeking to expand their agricultural or livestock operations.

166 Hectares with Excellent Productive Potential

The property features diverse topography, combining rolling and sloping terrain with extensive flat areas.

This variety allows different sections of the ranch to be used according to their natural characteristics. Grazing areas can support cattle management and fattening, while flatter areas offer opportunities for hay, forage, and supplemental feed production.

The pastures are in very good condition, with established varieties including Brizantha and Rithana grasses. Small sections of the property also contain sugarcane used as supplemental cattle feed.

The ranch is currently well suited for extensive cattle ranching and beef cattle fattening. However, its size, infrastructure, and internal distribution provide opportunities to implement more intensive management systems or diversify into other livestock and agricultural activities.

Rotational Grazing System

One of the ranch’s most important productive features is its internal pasture distribution.

The property includes more than 10 separate paddocks, ranging approximately from 9 to 40 hectares, depending on how the cattle are distributed and rotated.

This configuration supports a rotational grazing system, allowing pasture areas to recover while improving the efficient use of available forage.

Each paddock includes essential features for day-to-day cattle management:

Access to water

Water troughs

Feeding troughs

Fencing in excellent condition

Internal access routes to facilitate livestock management

The ranch is fully functional and operational, allowing a new owner to continue cattle operations without having to develop the basic infrastructure from the ground up.

Water: One of the Property’s Most Valuable Assets

Water availability is one of the most significant features of this property.

The ranch benefits from abundant natural water resources, including rivers and streams, which contribute to the water supply throughout different areas of the property.

it also has its own well supplying the residences, together with a water storage system with an approximate capacity of 5,000 liters.

Of particular importance for cattle production, the paddocks have access to water, reducing the need to move animals long distances for hydration and making the rotational grazing system more efficient.

Complete Cattle-Ranching Infrastructure

The property features a comprehensive livestock-handling complex designed to facilitate the reception, sorting, feeding, inspection, weighing, treatment, and transportation of cattle.

The infrastructure includes:

Receiving corrals providing ample space for cattle upon arrival.

Crowding and funnel area designed to guide cattle safely toward the working chute.

Cattle working chute for vaccinations, inspections, identification, and other livestock-management procedures.

Head gate / cattle squeeze system for safely restraining animals during handling and veterinary procedures.

Livestock scale for monitoring and recording animal weights.

Livestock loading ramp, allowing efficient loading and unloading of cattle trucks.

Feeding and watering troughs designed for livestock use.

Fencing and general ranch infrastructure in excellent condition.

The livestock loading ramp is particularly valuable for a ranch focused on cattle fattening and commercialization, as animals can be prepared, weighed, and loaded directly on the property for sale, transfer to other ranches, or transportation to livestock auctions.

Main Cabin-Style Residence

The property includes an attractive main cabin-style residence constructed with traditional hardwoods such as Guanacaste, pochote, and teak, creating a warm and authentic rural atmosphere.

The residence features:

3 bedrooms

2 bathrooms

Living room

Dining area

Kitchen

Laundry area

Front veranda

Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and ranch landscape

Its wooden architecture blends naturally with the rural setting and character of the property.

Worker Housing and Additional Infrastructure

The ranch also includes a secondary cabin for ranch workers or caretakers, providing an important advantage for livestock operations requiring permanent on-site personnel.

Additional spaces are available for:

Storage of agricultural and livestock supplies

Tool storage

Equipment and materials required for ranch operations

The buildings feature traditional handcrafted wood construction and are in excellent condition.

Climate, Landscape, and Tourism Potential

Beyond its strong cattle-ranching potential, the property offers characteristics that could allow its productive activities to be complemented by rural tourism, agritourism, or authentic ranch-life experiences.

The combination of mountains, open pastures, rivers, streams, vegetation, and expansive panoramic views creates a landscape that offers much more than a traditional agricultural operation.

The varied topography provides multiple viewpoints from which to appreciate Guanacaste’s natural surroundings. Subject to the appropriate feasibility studies and permits, the property could potentially accommodate activities such as nature trails, horseback riding, cattle-ranch experiences, rural lodging, scenic viewpoints, and nature tourism.

The main cabin-style residence further enhances this potential through its traditional wooden architecture and mountain views.

A Ranch Ready for Production

One of this property’s greatest advantages is that it combines assets and infrastructure that would normally require years of investment and development:

166.52 hectares (approximately 411.5 acres), established pastures, more than 10 paddocks, abundant water resources, complete cattle-handling facilities, corrals, working chute, livestock scale, loading ramp, residences, storage buildings, internal access roads, and convenient proximity to Route 1.

For a cattle producer, this represents the opportunity to acquire an established ranch with infrastructure already in place to continue operations.

For an investor, it represents a substantial landholding with opportunities for livestock, agricultural, productive, and tourism diversification.

For a buyer seeking to combine production with nature, the ranch also offers the added value of panoramic views, mountains, abundant water resources, and the distinctive rural landscape of Guanacaste.
