Water-Rich 8.78-Acre Estate Lot in Platanillo | Mountain Views

Set in the hills of Platanillo de Barú, this 8.78-acre property (35,527 m²) offers a rare combination of privacy, easy access, and sweeping mountain and valley views. At roughly 300 meters above sea level, the land catches cool breezes year-round while overlooking rolling pasture, mature hardwoods, and the surrounding rainforest.

What sets this Costa Rica real estate apart is its water. The property carries a registered spring water concession plus an artisanal backup well, with pumps, piping, and a full distribution system already installed. Electricity and water are connected to the main building site, and a year-round creek borders the land, adding to its calm, natural setting.

With at least four excellent building sites and three separate access points, there's flexibility to create a private home, a family compound, a small eco-lodge, or a sustainable farm. Much of the groundwork is done, so the property is ready for development while still leaving plenty of open pasture and shade. A barn and corral in good condition are ideal for livestock, horses, equipment, or a workshop.

The land has been carefully maintained, with fruit trees and a wide variety of natives, including Mountain Almond, Laurel, Acacia, Cristóbal, Savannah Oak, and Cacao. Monkeys, tropical birds, and butterflies move through the forested areas along the creek, part of everyday life here.

Access is genuinely easy: public road frontage with no 4WD required, just 3.8 km from Highway 243. Platanillo is only 7 minutes away for supermarkets, restaurants, organic markets, and a pharmacy, and the famous Nauyaca and Eco Chontales Waterfalls sit a short drive off.

This is a practical base for expat life or relocation in the Southern Zone. The beaches of Dominical are 25 minutes away, and San Isidro del General, with hospitals, schools, and shopping, is about 30 minutes out. For buyers weighing Costa Rica homes for sale or land, few parcels combine this level of infrastructure, water security, and view.
