About Rare Private Beachfront Offering

If you have ever dreamed of owning a private beachfront property in Costa Rica, this exceptional 2,000 m² (½-acre) parcel at the far end of Playa Ballena brings that dream to life. One of only six beachfront lots within an intimate coastal community, the property offers rare privacy, easy access, and an unbeatable location just 50 meters from one of the most beautiful beaches along the majestic Ballena Coast.

Playa Ballena is celebrated for its calm, swimmable waters, abundant wildlife, coastal rainforest, spectacular sunsets, and miles of walkable shoreline during low tide. Located within the renowned Marino Ballena National Park, this protected setting ensures the natural beauty of the area will remain forever preserved.

The lot itself is flat and fully usable, tucked away at the end of the beachfront road in an exclusive, low density neighborhood that guarantees peace and privacy, a rare find within costa rica real estate. From the property, enjoy glowing sunset views framed by coconut palms, surrounded by bamboo groves, fan palms, banana and mango trees, and vibrant tropical vegetation. Daily wildlife sightings include white faced capuchin and howler monkeys, blue morpho butterflies, scarlet macaws, keel billed and chestnut mandibled toucans, and many other native species. During whale migration season, it is not uncommon to witness humpback whales breaching just offshore.

Adding to the magic, the property borders Playa Arco, one of the Ballena Coast’s true hidden gems. Immediately north of the lot, a National Park maintained trail leads to this extraordinary beach where pristine primary rainforest meets the ocean, a phenomenon found in only a handful of places worldwide, such as the remote Corcovado National Park. Here you’ll discover dramatic cliffs plunging into the sea, hidden freshwater springs, a natural waterfall, a walk through cave, and a beach that leaves a lasting impression on everyone who visits.

Strict development regulations ensure this area remains an exclusive, low density residential enclave, preserving its tranquility and natural charm, a defining characteristic of the Dominical coastal lifestyle. Yet, within just seven minutes in either direction, you’ll find the vibrant communities of Uvita and Ojochal, offering fine dining, organic markets, boutique shopping, and all essential services.

To make this opportunity even more compelling, the sellers have approved construction documents for the first phase of a modern tropical 3 bedroom home, allowing for immediate construction.

Whether envisioned as a private residence or a high end rental retreat, this is a place where life slows down where ocean waves, wildlife, and untouched nature create a deeply restorative experience. A truly one of a kind beachfront property where the most breathtaking elements of Costa Rica come together in perfect harmony.
