Strawberry Farm with Residence in Fraijanes - 6.1 Hectares

Description

Finca Las Fresas is a rare opportunity combining an established agricultural operation with a spacious residence in Costa Rica's Alajuela highlands. Spanning 6.1 hectares, the property borders the Poás River and protected natural reserves, offering both productivity and exceptional privacy. The strawberry operation is fully operational and established, with an active formal delivery contract to Walmart since 2022 and harvests conducted three times weekly. The farm is supported by extensive infrastructure including approximately 8,000 m² of greenhouses, a 56 m² packing facility, a 360 m² structure containing a cold room and worker's quarters, and a 225 m² storage building. An agricultural water concession of 3.5 L/s ensures reliable irrigation via a gravity-fed system that also supports secondary crops such as blackberries and vegetables. The residence, built over two phases (original structure from the 1980s and expansion completed in 2006), spans approximately 1,665 m² and showcases exquisite fine wood finishes including cristóbal, almendro, cocobolo, tamarindo, mountain laurel, and Chilean pine. The home comprises five bedrooms, six full bathrooms, two kitchens, three living rooms, two offices, and a fireplace. A covered garage accommodates two vehicles, with additional outdoor parking for over twenty cars. An independent 130 m² apartment provides flexibility for guests, staff, or additional rental income. The residential section occupies a dedicated 15,000 m² area within the larger property. Beyond its current agricultural function, the property presents clear opportunities for complementary income streams. The combination of strawberry cultivation, established infrastructure, and the attractive setting enable agritourism experiences where visitors can participate in harvesting and agricultural processes. An independent apartment and guest capacity support AirBnB or tourism lodging operations. For those seeking an investment property that delivers both operating income and lifestyle value, this farm offers a compelling and multifaceted opportunity in one of Costa Rica's most desirable agricultural regions.
