About This Property
Palo de Arco Tajo 84-Acre Extraction Site High-Yield Investment Opportunity
Unlock the potential of Palo de Arco Tajo, an 84-acre (34-hectare) extraction property in Bonanza, Tempate, Guanacaste. Fully permitted and equipped for high-volume production, this site delivers immediate cash flow from sand, limestone, sandstone and ballast—materials at the core of Costa Rica’s booming construction sector.
Imagine controlling sand reserves valued at an estimated $90 million and ballast deposits worth $15 million. Geological studies from the United States and Italy confirm 70 percent silica content in the sand, making it ideal for concrete, glass manufacturing and industrial uses. With explosive extraction methods approved, you gain both efficiency and scale, setting Palo de Arco Tajo apart from competing quarries.
A turnkey production facility is already in place. Processing equipment handles crushing, sorting and stockpiling on site. Water management systems and access roads streamline logistics for heavy trucks, reducing overhead and maximizing output. Annual net income exceeds $1 million, while monthly operating expenses remain near ₡2 600 000 colones, delivering strong margins and predictable returns.
This finca is more than an extraction site. Its rolling terrain and mature trees create natural wind breaks, protecting operations from seasonal weather. Proximity to regional highways links you to major coastal development projects in Guanacaste, including luxury resorts, residential communities and public infrastructure. As Costa Rica Real Estate CR research shows, demand for construction aggregates has grown steadily over the past five years, driven by tourism-led building and government-funded roadworks.
