23.5 Acre Waterfall & Riverfront Estate Bahia Ballena Osa Peninsula

Property overview

Twenty-three and a half acres of pristine land in the quiet village of Balsar, just south of Ojochal near Puerto Cortés, sits at the edge of the Osa Peninsula with a private river and waterfall along the property border, approximately 10 acres of fertile farmland ready for cultivation, and 13.5 acres of forest teeming with wildlife. Electricity is in place with public road frontage. A private well will need to be dug to supply water to the property.

The land borders a 250-acre private reserve, ensuring total privacy and no-development buffer on that side. One main building area at the highest point of the property offers 360-degree valley views and cool river breezes throughout the day, positioned hundreds of meters from any neighbors. White-faced, squirrel, and howler monkeys share the property, along with over 250 documented bird species.

The location is 4 km off the coastal highway, with 25 minutes to Playa Ventanas and Playa Tortuga, 30 minutes to Marino Ballena National Park beaches, and 20 minutes to Palmar Norte Airport and the town center, where supermarkets, banks, and hardware stores offer more affordable pricing than the tourist towns to the north.

There are no building restrictions on this property. For buyers considering permaculture, a self-sustaining homestead, an eco-lodge, or a large private estate, the combination of fertile farmland, forest, waterfall, river access, and reserve adjacency creates a canvas that would be very difficult to replicate anywhere in the Southern Pacific region. The scale and the natural features together distinguish this property from anything smaller or more developed.
