500 hectares of strategic land in Cañas, Guanacaste
Infrastructure, nature, and energy potential for agribusiness, cold storage, energy projects, and integrated production models.
Located in La Libertad, Cañas, just 30 minutes from Liberia International Airport and directly connected to Route 1, Hacienda Santa Paula offers 500 hectares where infrastructure, natural assets, and long-term management come together to support high-potential projects in one of Costa Rica’s key agricultural regions.
A versatile property with conditions for multiple uses
The combination of location, energy, water and internal resources of HSP supports varios project types making it ideal for investment and development opportunities.
Innovate ownership models
Large-Scale Cold Storage
With direct access to Route 1 and ample energy availability, the estate is ideal for developing high-capacity cold storage or consolidation hubs. Its strategic location supports fast, efficient distribution for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical supply chains.
Regenerative Livestock
More than 400 hectares of pesticide-free pastureland create optimal conditions for regenerative grazing systems. The landscape supports rotational livestock, carbon-sequestration practices, and sustainable meat or dairy production models.
Solar Farm
Exceptional solar conditions in Cañas—combined with proximity to the local substation—make the property highly suitable for utility-scale solar generation. Investors can explore stand-alone or hybrid renewable energy models that integrate with other productive activities on site.
Integrated Dairy Expansion or New Processing Plant
Adjacent land and existing regional operations enable seamless expansion of dairy production. The estate can support new processing facilities or vertically integrated models that connect primary production, transformation, and distribution in one location.
Vertical Farming
The property’s extensive developable area offers a strong foundation for controlled-environment agriculture. Vertical farming facilities can leverage stable climate conditions, accessibility, and available infrastructure to produce year-round, high-value crops.
Agro-Industrial Park with Multiple Lots
With abundant acreage and flexible zoning potential, the property can be developed as a multi-lot agro-industrial park. This model allows companies to co-locate operations—such as processing, storage, logistics, and packaging—creating efficiencies across the supply chain.
Quarry Opportunity
A naturally occurring quarry on the property offers an additional long-term business opportunity. Beyond its potential value for on-site construction and infrastructure development, the quarry can become a complementary revenue stream—whether through managed extraction, material supply partnerships, or integration into broader industrial activities. Its presence enhances the estate’s versatility while remaining unobtrusive to other land uses.
A logistical hub in the heart of Guanacaste.
Hacienda Santa Paula sits in Cañas, Guanacaste, a strategic point in Costa Rica’s agricultural corridor. With paved, direct access to Route 1 and only a short drive from Liberia International Airport (LIR), the estate is well positioned for logistics connecting airports, ports, and regional production centers. This location supports supply chains for food, agriculture, and other temperature-sensitive sectors.
History and tradition since 1958
Since 1958, the same family has worked these 500 hectares in La Libertad, Cañas. Over three generations, Hacienda Santa Paula has evolved into an estate with strategic infrastructure, natural resources, and responsible management practices that have shaped the way the land is used and cared for over decades.
¿What sets Hacienda Santa Paula apart?
Hacienda Santa Paula combines productive activity with long-term care for the land and its ecosystems.
-
Pastures managed responsibly, without the use of chemical herbicides.
-
Live fences that act as natural corridors for local wildlife.
-
Primary forests that protect and balance the productive landscape.
-
A longstanding livestock tradition built on decades of experience.
-
Conscious management of water and soil to support productivity and environmental well-being.
Infrastructure and resources across 500 hectares
Across the estate, energy access, internal connectivity, and on-site materials create a solid base for agricultural, logistical, and productive operations of different scales.
Electrical substation
The property borders an electrical substation with up to 10 MW of potential capacity, suitable for projects that require reliable, high-volume power such as cold storage, processing, or energy-intensive infrastructure.
On-site quarry
An internal quarry supplies gravel and sand for roads and construction within the property, helping optimize maintenance and infrastructure development.
SENARA irrigation system
The SENARA irrigation system covers the agricultural areas of the estate, enabling continuous, year-round productive management.
Internal road network
A network of internal roads connects different productive zones and facilitates movement throughout the 500 hectares.
On-site dairy production within the estate
Within Hacienda Santa Paula operates Santa Paula Foods, a dairy operation dedicated to producing cheeses, yogurt, and other products made with goat milk from the estate. This on-site processing creates natural synergies with the land, the herds, and potential partners interested in value-added dairy or refrigerated export products.
Production in harmony with the natural environment
Productive areas at Hacienda Santa Paula coexist with primary forests, live fences, and spaces that support local wildlife. This balance between production and conservation reflects a long-term approach to managing soil, water, and biodiversity while maintaining the estate’s productive capacity.
Exploring innovative participation through tokenization
In addition to traditional structures such as leases or joint ventures, Hacienda Santa Paula can explore tokenization as a modern participation model. Through blockchain-based tokens, specific assets or projects—such as cold storage facilities, solar initiatives, or quarry operations—may be structured for fractional participation or revenue-sharing schemes, allowing broader access for interested parties without requiring full asset acquisition.
*Any tokenization framework would be developed in alignment with local regulations, specialized partners, and the specific characteristics of each project.
