As I approached this fantastic piece of property from the tranquil water in the "Golfo Dulce" (sweet gulf) I was completely in awe. The majestic bay with its calm waters, mangroves and river estuaries is teeming with marine life. Grey Whales visit often and calf in the "Golfo Dulce". The calm waters make this water oasis an ideal sea kayaking arena. This property consists of a nice large 200 hectares (500 acres), 90 Hectares is planted with 15 year old "melina trees". Melina wood was traditionally used to make wood pulp because it grows easily and quickly and because of its fire resistant properties, makes it a safe product to use. However, the rarity of other species allowed it to make a remarkable debut on the more valuable lumber market and to figure increasingly often on the list of construction timber. This phenomenon, combined with the depletion of wood stocks from natural forests, allows us to foresee a the value of this wood.

The net value of a tree is about $23 US. For example, a 90 hectare property with 90,000 melina trees worth $23 US each brings net revenues of $2,070,000.00 US. This is an excellent development opportunity to go into the mostly flat level terrain, cut the majority of the Melina wood to recover the majority of your initial investment and construct a nice, profitable housing development.

The property has mangrove frontage, is 200 meters from the beach (no concession property) and a really short 10 minute boat ride to Puerto Jiménez and only 30 minutes by boat to Golfito.
