Property Description

Virtually Staged. Rare opportunity to acquire and restore "El Hotelito at the Rainforest Experience Farm", a distinctive former boutique eco-hotel and private retreat nestled on approximately 24.5 acres of lush tropical landscape bordering the El Yunque national rainforest. Once an established nature-based hospitality destination, this one-of-a-kind property offers an exceptional foundation for a visionary investor seeking to revive an authentic eco-tourism, wellness, experiential hospitality or private retreat concept. The property features a two-story 5,763 sq.ft. main lodge with a historically permitted 7 private en-suite room hotel configuration, expansive open-air common areas with lounge space and interior patio, kitchen and bar, restaurant area, private balconies with rainforest and Caribbean Sea views. Additional features swimming pool with jacuzzi, tropical gardens with exotic flowers and extensive walking trails. A separate concrete structure of approximately 1449 sq.ft. provides 2 additional bedrooms each with its own bathrooms, living room and kitchen/bar area offering flexibility for an owner’s residence, management quarters or complementary guest use. Originally conceived around agro-tourism, nature conservation and low-impact hospitality, the property incorporated off-grid infrastructure including solar energy, water well and water collection system. Historical governmental records also document an agro-tourism development program that included three additional cabins, subject to verification of current permitting status and applicable approvals. Currently non-operational and requiring comprehensive restoration, "El Hotelito" represents an opportunity to bring an iconic Puerto Rico eco-hospitality concept back to life. Its extraordinary natural setting, established hospitality history, existing improvements, privacy, and conservation-oriented character create a compelling canvas for an investor with the vision to reposition this legacy destination for a new generation. Ideally situated near El Yunque National Rainforest, major marinas, pristine beaches, many of Puerto Rico’s most celebrated natural attractions, and approximately one hour from San Juan International Airport, the property combines remarkable seclusion with convenient access to the island’s principal gateway. Whether envisioned as an exceptional boutique hotel and hospitality investment, a distinctive primary residence, or private tropical retreat, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial parcel directly bordering El Yunque National Rainforest in one of Puerto Rico’s most beautiful and naturally preserved settings. Property is subject to a recorded conservation easement that preserves the natural setting and imposes certain restrictions on future development and use; documentation available for buyer review. Property, improvements, permits, development rights and potential uses are subject to buyer’s independent due diligence and applicable governmental approvals. Tax incentives may apply to qualified buyers. Please call for a private appointment.
