38-Acre Ranch in San Juan de Dios | Valley Views & Spring Water

This 38.7-acre working cattle ranch in San Juan de Dios offers one of the most compelling land opportunities in Costa Rica real estate today. Set across gentle rolling hills with wide-open views of the San Juan valley and surrounding mountain ranges, this property is ready for farming, sustainable development, or a private estate — no heavy clearing required.

The land features two year-round internal springs and a strong year-round creek along its western border, giving you reliable natural water sources that are increasingly rare at this price point. Legal AYA public water is also connected, and the property enjoys 200 meters of public road frontage with year-round two-wheel-drive access. A steel-covered corral and fenced pasture lands are already in place from its current use as a cattle operation.

Multiple natural building sites are scattered across the rolling terrain, each with sweeping valley and mountain views. The gentle slopes make this an easy property to develop — whether you plan to build a homestead, launch an agricultural project, or create a regenerative farm. You're roughly 20 minutes from the paved road at Platanillo, keeping you connected while still offering the kind of space and privacy that draws expats to this part of the country.

Priced at $350,000, this San Juan de Dios property for sale delivers serious acreage with infrastructure already in place — water, road access, fencing, and usable land from day one.

The San Juan de Dios valley sits in the southern Puntarenas province, a region that has become a quiet favorite among expat buyers and those pursuing relocation to Costa Rica's rural Pacific side. The area offers a cooler microclimate than the coast, rich soil for agriculture, and a tight-knit community of both Ticos and international residents. Costa Rica homes for sale in this corridor rarely come with this much land, water, and accessibility at this price.
