5-Acre Jungle Lot in Ballena | Ocean-View Building Site

Some lots ask you to imagine the work ahead. This one has already done it. Set in the Las Brisas community above Uvita, this 20,000 m² (5-acre) parcel of Costa Rica real estate pairs a genuine slice of rainforest with the kind of groundwork most buyers spend years chasing: a professionally graded main building plateau, a reinforced driveway already installed, and concrete drainage protecting both the land and access road.

From the main plateau, a framed "window" view opens onto the Pacific, bordered by primary jungle canopy that keeps toucans, monkeys, and sloths moving through the property on a regular basis. A second building site currently holds a shipping container, useful now for secure storage during construction and easily converted later into a compact jungle guesthouse. ASADA water service is already connected at the base of the driveway, so the basic infrastructure most buyers negotiate for is simply in place.

The elevation means cooler mountain breezes and real privacy, without putting distance between you and daily life. Uvita's restaurants, organic markets, private schools, and medical clinics are a short drive away, and this remains very much a Ballena property for sale in the geographic sense — close enough to the coast to feel it, high enough to escape the heat.

Whether the plan is a private family compound, a small eco-conscious retreat, or a long-term build for rental income, the scale and preparation here shorten the runway considerably. It's one of the more build-ready pieces of land available among current Costa Rica homes for sale in the area.

Ballena is the stretch of southern Pacific coastline anchored by Marino Ballena National Park and its famous Whale Tail sandbar, drawing a steady mix of surfers, retirees, and remote workers. For expats and relocation-minded buyers, Uvita's growing infrastructure and laid-back rhythm make it one of Costa Rica's most livable coastal areas.
