427-Acre River Estate with Development Potential Near Manuel Antonio

Description

Discover an extraordinary 427-acre (173-hectare) development property nestled on a hillside in the heart of Costa Rica's Central Pacific region, near Quepos and the iconic Manuel Antonio National Park. This exceptional parcel combines strategic location, abundant natural resources, and genuine conservation value—a rare combination for large-scale development. The landscape is remarkably diverse, featuring pristine jungle habitat, the stunning Paquita River running along the southern border, and multiple natural springs and streams creating picturesque clearings throughout the property. Views are breathtaking at every turn. The property has become known among wildlife enthusiasts as a habitat for jaguars and pumas, offering a genuine opportunity to develop a sanctuary that honors both luxury and nature. Accessibility and infrastructure are well-established despite the remote feel. The property sits on a public road, is just 35 minutes from Quepos and its amenities, and benefits from public electricity and fiber optic internet service extending directly to the land. This rare combination of privacy and connectivity makes the property viable for multiple development scenarios: a boutique eco-lodge with canopy tours and river activities, a multi-family compound, a stunning private riverside estate, or a specialized tourist facility. The current improvements include a three-bedroom, two-bathroom farmhouse, a small caretaker house, covered parking, and stables for livestock. Year-round potable water is supplied by a natural spring, with additional springs and waterfalls throughout the property providing both water security and landscape appeal. With the considerable size of this holding, developers can envision a phased approach: creating an upscale main development while dedicating the majority of the land to conservation efforts. The result would be a unique luxury escape that contributes meaningfully to environmental preservation—a compelling proposition for discerning buyers and impact-driven investors.
