Ocean View Preserve With Strategic Building Areas, Dominical, Bahia Ballena, Osa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica 6050
Welcome to one of the last remaining large land holdings near Dominical—an extraordinary 86-acre estate that offers a rare balance between meaningful development potential and long-term ecological preservation. Bordering the protected lands of the renowned Hacienda Barú Wildlife Refuge, this remarkable property presents a unique opportunity to steward a piece of Costa Rica’s most pristine natural landscape while bringing a thoughtful vision to life.
A Landscape of Natural Diversity
The estate unfolds across rolling hills, open plateaus, and dense tropical forest, creating a dynamic and visually stunning environment. Approximately 19 hectares (46 acres) consist of primary forest, complemented by extensive secondary growth. Internal roads and natural trails wind through the property, providing access to its many features. Eight designated ocean-view building sites are strategically positioned throughout the land, each offering sweeping Pacific views—ideal for luxury residences or eco-conscious villas.
Strategic Access and Commercial Possibilities
With more than 400 meters of public road frontage, the property benefits from convenient access as well as readily available water and electricity. The flat, cleared areas near the highway are well suited for higher-density or mixed-use development and already include two designated commercial building sites. These spaces lend themselves naturally to boutique retail, wellness facilities, or a small jungle hotel, all just minutes from the coast.
A Vision for Responsible Development
Located within the Paso de la Danta Biological Corridor—one of Central America’s most ecologically significant regions—the property is well positioned for a development approach that prioritizes conservation. Future projects require an environmental impact study, ensuring that any development respects and preserves the integrity of the surrounding ecosystem.
A traditional Tico-style home is already in place, offering immediate usability and a base for ongoing operations. The land is further enriched by two natural springs and a private waterfall, enhancing both its sustainability and its appeal.
A development concession application is currently in process for a boutique eco-hotel, private residences, swimming pools, and a restaurant, providing a valuable head start for investors seeking a project that combines income potential, environmental responsibility, and lifestyle value.
