Ocean View 97-Acre Cloud Forest Building Lot in Uvita Costa Rica

Set within the lush mountains above Uvita in Costa Rica’s renowned Bahía Ballena region, La Malouma is an extraordinary private cloud forest and rainforest sanctuary spanning approximately 399,058 square meters, or nearly 99 acres, of biologically rich terrain. This is the type of property that has become nearly impossible to replicate today. A rare combination of elevation, privacy, natural water resources, ocean view corridors, and preserved forest creates an environment that feels entirely removed from the outside world, while still being located only approximately 10 to 15 minutes from the beaches, restaurants, marina access, waterfalls, and conveniences of Uvita and Costa Ballena.

Positioned between roughly 431 and 717 meters above sea level, the property enjoys a dramatically cooler climate than the coastline below, creating a year round mountain retreat atmosphere immersed within misty cloud forest conditions and tropical rainforest ecosystems. The land is defined by dense primary and secondary forest, rolling ridgelines, natural valleys, expansive jungle canopies, and multiple areas with panoramic views stretching toward the Pacific Ocean and the famous Whale’s Tail coastline of Marino Ballena National Park. The property contains exceptional natural resources including abundant surface water availability, internal water routes, springs, and hydrological systems that contribute to the long term sustainability and ecological value of the land. Rich vegetation, mature trees, biological corridors, and preserved habitat areas further elevate the property as an ideal candidate for conservation minded ownership or a carefully integrated eco retreat concept.

La Malouma offers tremendous potential for a visionary owner seeking to create a private family estate, luxury mountain retreat, wellness sanctuary, eco lodge, conservation reserve, or low density hospitality concept designed around nature immersion and sustainability. Existing studies and conceptual planning have already explored opportunities for trail systems, suspended bridges, wellness pathways, mountain biking routes, regenerative gardens, permaculture zones, and discreet development areas integrated into the natural terrain.

Unlike conventional development properties, the true value of La Malouma lies in its ability to preserve an increasingly rare balance between accessibility and complete seclusion. The experience of the property is one of silence, cloud movement through the forest canopy, cool mountain air, flowing water, wildlife, and uninterrupted connection to nature. There are very few privately owned properties remaining in the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica that offer this level of scale, ecological richness, and privacy within such close proximity to the coast.

La Malouma represents an opportunity to steward a truly unique piece of Costa Rica’s natural landscape while creating a legacy property designed around sustainability, wellness, conservation, and intentional living.
