About this property
A 3.43-acre lot in Uvita, 700 ft above sea level, with full ocean views. Playa Hermosa is 10 minutes away by car, as is Playa Uvita and the Whale’s Tail. Ojochal is 20 minutes away and Dominical 20. It has legal water and grid power.
Welcome to one of the most exceptional land offerings in the Southern Zone—an expansive 3.5-acre ocean-view lot nestled in the hills above Uvita, Costa Rica. This truly rare opportunity allows you to own a front-row seat to the iconic Whale’s Tail formation at Marino Ballena National Park, boasting sweeping 180-degree ocean views and golden sunsets every day of the year.
From the moment you arrive, it becomes clear that this property is something special. A flat, fully prepared building pad is already in place—engineered and ready for immediate construction. Whether you envision a sprawling luxury estate, a high-end rental villa, or a multi-structure retreat, the land can easily accommodate your vision. There are no design constraints here—just a blank canvas with an unbeatable backdrop.
The property benefits from legal ASADA water, which is becoming increasingly rare and valuable in this part of Costa Rica. Power and access are established, allowing you to begin building without delay. The land offers multiple areas for development beyond the main building site, making it perfect for adding gardens, orchards, pools, outdoor living spaces, guest houses, or yoga platforms nestled among the trees. With fertile soil and a lush tropical climate, growing your own fruit and enjoying sustainable living is easily within reach.
Despite its private, serene setting, this lot is just a five-minute drive to the center of Uvita, where you’ll find everything you need—restaurants, shops, banks, schools, and medical services—as well as easy access to world-class beaches, waterfalls, and jungle adventures. The location strikes the perfect balance: close enough for convenience, yet far enough to savor absolute peace.
The neighborhood is a hidden gem—safe, welcoming, and full of character. A thoughtful mix of expats and local families creates a vibrant, down-to-earth community where people look out for one another. It’s the kind of place where neighbors wave hello, kids ride bikes, and the sounds of the jungle replace the noise of the city.
Whether you’re looking to build a full-time residence, a vacation getaway, or a high-performing rental property, this lot checks every box: unbeatable views, usable land, essential infrastructure, prime location, and long-term investment value. Ocean view parcels like this—especially with year-round sunsets and a direct view of the Whale’s Tail—are becoming increasingly scarce.
This is more than just a piece of land. It’s a foundation for your vision, lifestyle, and future. Come walk the property, take in the view, and discover why this is one of the most desirable offerings in Uvita today.
