Private Mountain Estate & Development Opportunity in Platanillo

This is more than just a property — this is the opportunity to own an entire mountain in one of Costa Rica’s most desirable and fast-growing lifestyle destinations.

Located in the vibrant mountain community of Platanillo, this expansive 60+ hectare property (approximately 148+ acres) offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, scale, natural beauty, and development potential. Ideally positioned just 6.5 km from Highway 243, the property sits perfectly between San Isidro and Dominical, providing easy access to beaches, restaurants, shopping, healthcare, and all the best attractions of Costa Rica’s Southern Zone.

With multiple prepared building sites already in place, the property showcases breathtaking mountain, valley, river, jungle, and even ocean views from various points throughout the land. Existing internal roads with proper drainage systems and cunetas have already been completed, significantly reducing future infrastructure costs and making the property easily accessible year-round.

The land itself offers an exceptional blend of primary rainforest, rolling hills, open usable areas, river access, and elevated panoramic viewpoints, making it ideal for:

Luxury retreat centers

Eco-developments

Wellness communities

Private family compounds

Permaculture projects

Eco-lodges

Long-term legacy investments

One of the most unique and special features of the property is the private trail leading directly to the beautiful Guabo River, where you will find natural swimming areas and a true connection to the untouched surrounding environment.

Water is abundant throughout the property and includes:

2 registered artisan wells

Multiple natural springs

River access

Water sources located outside the main buildable areas

Approximately 7 building pads have already been cut and prepared, creating a major head start for future construction and development plans.

The property also includes an existing move-in-ready structure with a warm modern tropical design featuring:

Kitchen

Dining and lounge area

Bedroom

Bathroom

Outdoor soaking area immersed in nature

This existing home provides the perfect immediate basecamp for an owner, caretaker, or developer while bringing the larger vision for the property to life.

What truly sets this offering apart is the rare combination of massive scale and complete privacy. You are not buying a small lot surrounded by neighbors — you are acquiring an entire mountain with the freedom to create something truly extraordinary.

Imagine:

Luxury retreat centers with panoramic yoga decks

Private jungle villas hidden throughout the forest

Food forests and permaculture gardens

Hiking trails and river access paths

Family homes spread across the mountain

Sunset lookout points with ocean views

Wellness spaces immersed in complete tranquility
