About Private Mountain Estate And Development Opportunity
This is far more than just a property — it is a rare opportunity to own an entire mountain in one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after and rapidly growing lifestyle destinations.
Located in the thriving mountain community of Platanillo, this extraordinary 60+ hectare estate (approximately 148+ acres) offers a remarkable combination of privacy, scale, natural beauty, and exceptional development potential. Ideally situated only 6.5 kilometers from Highway 243, the property enjoys a strategic location between San Isidro and Dominical, providing convenient access to beaches, restaurants, shopping, healthcare, and the many attractions that make Costa Rica’s Southern Zone so desirable, while offering the scale and versatility that make this a standout opportunity within Costa Rica real estate.
With multiple prepared building sites already in place, the property captures breathtaking views of mountains, valleys, rivers, jungle landscapes, and even the Pacific Ocean from various vantage points throughout the land. Existing internal roads with proper drainage systems and cunetas have already been completed, significantly reducing future infrastructure costs while ensuring reliable year-round access across the property.
The land itself presents an exceptional mix of primary rainforest, rolling hills, open usable areas, river access, and elevated panoramic viewpoints, making it ideal for a wide variety of visionary projects, including:
• Luxury wellness and retreat centers
• Eco-conscious developments
• Boutique hospitality projects
• Private family compounds
• Permaculture and sustainable living communities
• Eco-lodges and glamping concepts
• Long-term legacy investments
One of the property’s most unique and captivating features is the private trail leading directly to the beautiful Guabo River, where natural swimming holes and pristine surroundings create an authentic connection to Costa Rica’s untouched natural environment.
Water is abundant throughout the property and includes:
• Two registered artisan wells
• Multiple natural springs
• River access
• Water sources located outside of the primary buildable areas
Approximately seven building pads have already been cut and prepared, providing a tremendous head start for future construction and development plans.
The property also includes an existing move-in-ready structure designed with a warm modern tropical aesthetic, featuring:
• Kitchen
• Dining and lounge area
• Bedroom
• Bathroom
• Outdoor soaking area immersed in nature
This comfortable existing residence serves as the perfect immediate basecamp for an owner, caretaker, or developer while bringing a larger vision for the property to life.
What truly sets this offering apart is the rare combination of immense scale and complete privacy. This is not a small parcel surrounded by neighboring homes — this is the opportunity to own an entire mountain and create something truly extraordinary.
