About Development Farm
River Access, Tropical Nature & Development Potential
Discover this exceptional 45.4-acre property in the hills of Uvita, located along the well-known La Unión Road in Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific region. Just minutes from downtown Uvita and the coast, this expansive farm offers a combination of privacy, natural surroundings, accessibility, and long-term potential.
A Private Tropical Setting
The property features a diverse landscape of mature fruit trees, primary and secondary rainforest, open areas, and elevated terrain with peaceful mountain views. Approximately half of the property has been planted with mature fruit trees, creating an established tropical environment while leaving substantial areas of natural forest to explore and preserve.
With its size, terrain, and natural features, the property provides a versatile setting for a private estate, nature retreat, agricultural project, eco-oriented development, or simply a large private holding surrounded by Costa Rica's tropical landscape.
Río Ballena Access
A standout feature of this property is its access to the Río Ballena, known for its natural swimming areas and waterfalls surrounded by tropical forest.
River access adds significant recreational value to the property, offering opportunities for swimming, exploring, relaxing beside the water, and enjoying the natural environment. It also enhances the property's potential for a private retreat or nature-focused project.
Conveniently Located Near Uvita
Although surrounded by forest and nature, the property remains conveniently accessible.
The farm is approximately 5 minutes from the paved road and has year-round 2WD access with public road frontage. Downtown Uvita is approximately 10 minutes away, providing convenient access to restaurants, supermarkets, schools, medical services, shops, and other daily amenities.
The beaches and attractions of Costa Ballena are also within easy driving distance, allowing you to enjoy a private rural setting without being far from the coast.
Infrastructure & Future Potential
Electricity is available at the property line, and the property has a water concession from the river, providing important infrastructure for future use.
The combination of legal access, nearby electricity, established fruit production, rainforest, elevated areas, mountain views, and Río Ballena access creates numerous possibilities for future development or personal use.
