140 Acres (55ha) Of Paradise In Costa Rica, Dominical.

Property overview

At 140 acres (550,000 m²), this property above the community of Dominical on the Pacific coast represents the last remaining large landholding of its kind in this area, priced at $1,200,000. The terrain spans from the Río Barú at the eastern base, rising 1.8 km to the highest point of the coastal mountains at approximately 400 meters above sea level — with the Pacific Ocean visible just 1 km away. A central dirt road runs the length of the property, engineered to follow the natural topography and vegetation rather than cut through it, and the property is accessible by both a public and a private dirt road suitable for 4×4 vehicles.

The land contains roughly 20 graded plateaus of various sizes set into the hillside, all accessible from the central road. The subsoil is firm rock, providing a solid foundation for construction across the site. The top plateau — 4 to 5 hectares in extent — commands a direct ocean view and is the primary candidate for a signature structure. An adjacent 4 to 5 hectares of primary forest holds documented pre-Columbian historical significance, with evidence of early settlements including graves, stones, and pottery still present. Electricity is connected to the property. The surrounding area has intact commercial and service infrastructure including shops, restaurants, and hospitals.

The combination of topographic variety, existing road access, utility service, ocean-view building pads, and historical and ecological character makes this one of the more layered large parcels on the Southern Zone coast. The scale and configuration suit a resort, condominium development, or a substantial private family estate, with the existing road system providing internal connectivity across all 140 acres from the outset.
