Welcome to your private jungle haven in the heart of Cascada Azul, a gated mountain community just minutes from Dominical and the beaches of Costa Rica’s southern zone. This unique property offers the best of both worlds: a build-ready site with stunning mountain views and a charming, open-concept jungle casita nestled just steps from a serene waterfall.

The upper portion of the property is cleared and ready for construction, ideal for your dream home or an additional rental unit.
