About this property

‘Opportunity’ is the word that must be applied here, in its full force! A massive flat area sufficient to hold an entire neighborhood of homes or mixed residential/commercial developments sits at the foot of the sharply rising coastal mountains – covered in pristine jungles, the mountains will provide a beautiful natural background to any future development. Several other building areas, of various sizes, are peppered around the surrounding hills and jungles. This property presents endless mix and match construction options to suit any Grande vision! 

The Main Building Area

The flat and cleared building area extends over what is now several pasture fields. Bordered by a year-round river and lush slopes of the coastal mountains, this is the focal point of the entire property. Such a sizeable and easily buildable site is ready to manifest the most outstanding and imaginative of ideas – and with confirmed electricity and legal water access, the construction can begin with minimal delay.  

The Jungle & Mountain View Building Sites

Several additional Building Siteslie in the forest clearings and up the slopes of the surrounding hills. The forest Building Sites are huge, flat and provide enough space for large developments that will benefit from the unspoiled jungle and river surrounds. The mountain Building Sites amaze with sweeping ocean, jungle and mountain views, in addition to the lush green vistas of the Terraba Sierpe National Wetlands whose mangroves dominate the horizon.  

The Teak Plantation

A well-maintained, 12.5 acre teak plantation straddles the lower slopes of the mountains. An unpaved road runs through the heart of the plantation and follows the teak forest up into the surrounding hills.   

The Natural Surroundings

Walk towards the lush jungles surrounding the main plantel, and you are walking into a different world – as you enter the forest, you are teleporting into a lush jungle wonderland. The towering trees, covered in vines and orchids, build a nearly solid canopy overhead. Lush plants, shrubs and flowers extend in every direction, and the life-giving smell of a pristine forest overwhelm your sense of reality. Several rivers follow the valleys providing refreshing swim holes and amazing with spectacular cascades and waterfalls. As you leave the valley and make your way upwards, the canopy opens to present sweeping jungle, mangrove, ocean and mountain views.  

The Potential of this Site

The options for development here are incalculable – a few ideas for consideration may be: 

Main Building Area

  • A large development such as a retirement community or vacation accommodation 
  • A neighborhood of private residences 
  • Exclusive high-end holiday accommodation with large pool and social areas 
  • A huge permaculture farm or a commercial agricultural business 
  • Beef pastureland  

Mountain & Jungle Building Sites

  • Secluded residential developments with beautiful views or towering jungle surrounds 
  • High-end eco cabins
  • Small multi-unit accommodation operations 
  • Full service accommodation units with on-site restaurants and services 

Such a large and expansive property with multiple building sites, beautiful natural surroundings and endless development options is a true rarity – especially this close to Costa Ballena’s rapidly developing tourist and expat areas of Ojochal and Tres Rios! The massive scale and opportunity of this piece of land must be seen to be believed
