About this property

At a glance

A 7.91-acre lot in Portalon, 980 ft above sea level, with full ocean views. Playa Linda is 15 minutes away by car. Dominical is 20 minutes away and Uvita 35. It has legal water.

A rare opportunity to acquire 7.91 acres (32,015 m²) of elevated ocean-view land comprised of two separately titled adjoining properties within the established Portasol gated community on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific Coast.

Rather than a single large parcel with one primary building area, the property consists of two individual titles, each with its own principal building site, creating significantly greater flexibility for future development.

Two Titles = Greater Flexibility

The upper property encompasses approximately 5.93 acres (24,013 m²) and features a primary mountaintop building site at approximately 984 feet above sea level. The property sits at the end of the neighborhood road and borders an impressive 649-acre protected reserve, creating exceptional privacy and a lush rainforest backdrop.

A secondary building area below the main pad provides additional space that could be incorporated into the overall design for a guest house, garage, fitness studio, workshop, or recreational area.

Directly below is the adjoining 1.98-acre (8,002 m²) separately titled property, with its primary building site positioned approximately 20 meters lower in elevation. The separation between the two principal homesites creates a natural opportunity to develop multiple residences while maintaining privacy, views, and separation between structures.

Owning two separate property titles provides an important advantage when considering the overall use of the land. Rather than relying on a single building site, a buyer has two independently titled properties and multiple usable areas to work with—ideal for a private family compound, primary residence with a separate guest or rental home, two luxury residences, or a carefully planned investment project.

Ocean Views & Ideal Building Orientation

Both principal building sites are positioned to take advantage of elevated white water Pacific Ocean and surrounding mountain views. Access arrives from behind the building areas, allowing residences to be designed with their primary living spaces, terraces, and pools oriented toward the ocean rather than toward the driveway.

The upper building site is oriented approximately 238° southwest, while the lower property is oriented approximately 235° southwest, creating complementary ocean-facing orientations across the two properties.

Bordering a 649-Acre Reserve

One of the most distinctive aspects of the property is its relationship with the adjoining 649-acre reserve within the Danta Pass Biological Corridor. Mature rainforest surrounds the property and supports abundant wildlife, including toucans, monkeys, and other tropical species.

The combination of substantial acreage, protected land, elevation, and multiple building areas creates the feeling of a secluded mountain retreat while remaining within an established gated community.

Established Infrastructure & Gated Community

Portasol offers 24/7 security, video surveillance, private internal roads, optional onsite administration, nature trails, waterfalls, and natural river pools. Beautiful beaches and surfing are approximately 10 minutes away, while the coastal highway is approximately five minutes from the community.

Infrastructure is already established, with legal ASADA water, electricity availability, and fiber-optic internet serving the community.

A Unique Multi-Property Opportunity

Finding nearly eight acres of ocean-view land is increasingly uncommon, but what distinguishes this offering is the combination of two adjoining titles, two primary building sites at different elevations, additional usable building areas, established infrastructure, and a 649-acre protected reserve along the property.

Whether envisioned as a substantial private estate, multi-generational family compound, separate residences for personal and rental use, or a larger investment concept, the two-title configuration provides a level of flexibility that a single parcel of comparable acreage typically cannot offer.
