Whale's Tail View Estate Lot in Playa Hermosa | 2 Acres

High on a ridge above Playa Hermosa, this two-acre mountain-top parcel looks straight out across the Pacific to the Whale's Tail of Marino Ballena National Park. From the building pad you see the ocean in a wide sweep, with mountains layered behind you, sunsets all year and steady coastal breezes. It's a strong site for a luxury private residence, a tropical family compound or a high-end vacation rental.

Most of the hard work is already done. The land has been professionally terraced and has reinforced drainage, French drains, concrete water-mitigation works, vetiver stabilization and bamboo retention systems. Electrical service sized for a luxury home is already installed. The most valuable feature is the fully approved and functioning legal water well. These are increasingly hard to get in Costa Rica, and having one removes years of permitting uncertainty from your build.

Mature tropical landscaping, ornamental palms and fruit trees, including mango, orange and star fruit, are already growing. A private forest trail leads down into the jungle section of the property, a quiet spot under the rainforest canopy that would suit a yoga deck, a meditation space or an outdoor lounge.

For a mountain property, it's very easy to reach. Paved road is just fifty meters away, with a quick connection to the Costanera Highway. The beach is five minutes down the hill, and the property sits between Dominical and Uvita, close to waterfalls, surf breaks, restaurants and shopping. For expat buyers planning a relocation, that combination of privacy and convenience is hard to find.

Offered at $499,000, this is one of the more compelling pieces of Uvita property for sale right now. You get a prepared, build-ready ocean view parcel in one of the most sought-after corners of Costa Rica real estate.

Uvita has banks, boutiques, restaurants and internationally accredited bilingual schools, and it has kept the relaxed coastal character that keeps drawing families, retirees and investors from North America and beyond. Playa Hermosa is quickly becoming one of the Southern Zone's leading luxury addresses, and architecturally significant homes are starting to shape the hillsides around it.
