Where the Journey Begins | Private Jungle Estate at Nauyaca Waterfalls

Property overview

At the very entrance to the world-famous Nauyaca Waterfalls, this 2-hectare (5-acre) estate in Barú delivers a combination of privacy, natural access, and architectural distinction that is genuinely rare in Costa Rica's South Pacific. Built in 2020 with 250 m² of construction, the property holds direct access to Nauyaca — one of the country's most celebrated natural attractions — while also sitting within easy range of Dominical Beach, Uvita and Marino Ballena National Park, and the cascades of Diamante Valley (Diamante Verde), which includes Costa Rica's tallest waterfall at 600 feet.

The home's architecture works with the land rather than against it. The main level carries a spacious kitchen, dining area, and covered terrace integrated seamlessly into the jungle canopy. A signature sky platform, suspended more than 7 meters above the forest floor and accessed by a floating walkway, wraps around majestic native trees — ideal for yoga, sunset cocktails, or gatherings. High wooden ceilings, open-concept living, and natural materials run throughout. The lower level holds two guest suites with ensuite bathrooms (minor finishing required) plus additional storage and service areas.

Panoramic views of mountains and rainforest frame every primary living space. Morning sounds come from cascading water and tropical birds. San Isidro de El General lies within practical driving distance for everyday needs. For a buyer seeking a private jungle sanctuary with an extraordinary natural gateway built into the property itself, this estate stands alone.
