PROPERTY, COMMUNITY & ACCESS
Straddling a rising jungle-covered hillside, this property borders the Costanera highway at its lower reaches, holding a very respectable 80m of highway frontage. The land then rises along jungle-covered ridges and valleys, terminating at the flat upper plantel which hovers about 150 meters above the highway and surrounding plains. This plantel is reached via an access-controlled & well-prepared internal road that serves this property as well as the exclusive gated community. The internal road starts at the Costanera, near the property line, passes the secure entrance gate and snakes her way along the outside perimeter of the land as it ascends to the spectacular viewpoints and the large, flat plantel.
VIEWS
The highlight of this property are the 360-degree unobstructed panoramic views, presenting stunning jungle covered mountains which meet the expansive and majestic Pacific Ocean vistas. SPECTACULAR crimson sunsets are visible from every point of the lot, every one a little different yet the fiery shows will amaze you & your guests with unforgettable memories.
The ocean view is through green pastures, large areas of mangroves, Isla Garza, and the magnificent and wide Tortuga River which stretches below the property. The mountains of Corcovado Peninsula, Violin Island, and Cano Island entice the eye. And when you turn around, the ocean vistas are replaced by the towering & overwhelming coastal mountains – their lush & nearly vertical slopes are reminiscent of Hawaii and covered in thundering waterfalls during the green season – some of which are hundreds of meters high!
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES
The lucky buyer will have two arenas for contemplation – the flat upper property, elevated above the hustle and bustle of the lowland roads & towns, and the possible commercial developments along the lower Costanera facing section of the lot. Legal Water, delivered via a pristine artesian well, is in the process of being confirmed. The property presents an amazing BLANK canvas, ripe to accept the vision of the discerning entrepreneur.
The upper plantel can hold a large & spectacular nature-immersed home with guaranteed views from every window. An infinity pool is a perfect fit here, as is a jacuzzi with sunset views. The sunny location will nourish manicured gardens or a tropical fruit orchard. The peace, serenity & natural surroundings of this area contrast sharply with the activity of the lower, highway-facing section of the lot.
Below, there is ample opportunity to develop many types of businesses along the highway frontage – accommodation, food and drink services, tourist activities, fitness or yoga studio – you are only limited by your imagination! And traffic is booming – the Costanera highway is the main link of Costa Ballena and Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica. It stretches along the Pacific coast and is home to most of the local towns & services including the two regional airports at Palmar and Quepos, as well as service & tourist towns of Palmar, Ojochal, Uvita and Dominical.
JUNGLE & ANIMALS
The land is surrounded by thriving lowland rainforests. An endless array of tropical animals, birds, butterflies, plants, orchids and flowers that make their home within its borders adds to the property’s charm. Toucans, macaws, monkeys, sloths, wildcats, coatis, anteaters and blue morpho butterflies are some of the many residents or visitors to this property! The dawn & dusk are especially beautiful times of the day – not only due to the stunning Ocean Sunsets but also because of the unforgettable jungle animal chorus that will accompany the shows, twice a day!
LOCATION
The property is located just off the Costanera, between Ojochal and Cortez. Ojochal is the unofficial ‘Culinary Capital of Costa Rica’ – bursting with a wide variety of top-rated restaurants. Here you will also find all types of services & amenities. Cortez is a service town with activity, shops & services. Also nearby are the larger centers of Uvita and Palmar which host airports with daily flights to San Jose. The surfing & beach mecca of Dominical, thundering sea-caves of Playa Ventanas, mysterious pre-Columbian stone spheres of Palmar, or buzzing tourist whale-watching, sport-fishing, eco and adrenaline activities of Uvita’s Marino Ballena National Park are a short drive away – as is the world famous Corcovado National Park, celebrated by National Geographic as one of the most biodiverse places on the planet.
An attractive price, beautiful views and settings, perfect location, security of a gated community, and the potential to profitably develop this land makes it one of the best purchase opportunities in the area.
