Whale Tail Views Luxury Waterfall Farm

Property overview

A 101-acre (413,585 m2) farm above the Uvita bamboo forest, with sweeping ocean views overlooking Marino Ballena National Park — including the famous whale's tail sandbar — and a 40-foot waterfall where a large river borders and flows through the property. The current owner purchased the land more than 20 years ago and has now decided to sell. Twenty hectares of the total are classified as developable land, with an equal amount enrolled in FONAFIFO, Costa Rica's forest protection program, which generates annual carbon credit income that helps offset property taxes. The remaining acreage supports a mix of forest, internal access roads, and established space for a food forest.

Uvita is a 15-minute drive from the base of this mountain, placing restaurants, supermarkets, beaches, and the full amenity range of Costa Ballena well within reach. The farm also offers direct mountain access connecting toward Valle General and San Isidro, opening two distinct directions for day trips or off-property use. The land features public road frontage, which means no building covenants restrict development flexibility. The naturally gentle grade across the property minimizes earthwork requirements, and each potential homesite holds both mountain and ocean views.

The property suits a private family compound, an exclusive residential estate, an eco-resort, a boutique hotel, or a yoga retreat concept. For investors tracking the Dominical and Bahia Ballena real estate corridors, opportunities at this scale — with waterfall infrastructure, carbon income, public road access, and marine park views — are increasingly difficult to find. The property is ready for project planning and the structural elements that typically drive cost and timeline are already resolved.
