The Property · Nosara, Costa Rica

Ready to live in.
Endless potential to develop.

Overview

16.3 acres on the Nosara River, primed for a singular life.

The estate runs from rolling flatlands to riverfront, with internal gravel roads, extensive river frontage, and numerous prepared building sites — each opening onto panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, one with a sunset ocean view. It is move-in ready today, and built to be shaped: a private estate, a cluster of residences, or a retreat at scale.

Its foundation is rare. Two sources of water — including a usage permit that can take years to secure — solar with battery backup and on-grid power, two gated entrances, accommodation for staff, and secure on-site storage. A water letter has already been granted, which greatly expedites the path to construction permits.

Offered at$3,995,000 USD

An adjoining 16.9-acre parcel — home to a seasonal pond — is also available, extending the estate to roughly 33 acres in all. Enquire for details.

An Untamed Sanctuary

The land is alive.

Mountain and river views throughout, a seasonal waterfall across the road, and a sunset ocean view from one lot. Spotted on the property over the years: anteater and armadillo, jaguar and white-nosed coati, howler and capuchin monkeys, crocodile in the river, and birds without number — owls, toucans, and parrots among them.
