Los Portales Villa

The home site is perched on a panoramic point at 1050 ft elevation. The property on which the house sits consists of 14 acres of jungle of which approximately 80% is virgin rainforest. The large home site offers one of the most outstanding and exceptional 180 degree plus ocean views in all of Costa Rica. Views of the southern Pacific coastline, the Osa peninsula and Cano Island are incredible and reminiscent of Hawaii 25 years ago. The primary forest views are mesmerizing. Sunsets throughout most of the year are world class and the colors explode into the entire horizon. The site offers exceptional privacy throughout. A virtual library of birds, monkeys and other wildlife will visit you frequently. Watch whales playing in the ocean below throughout the year.
