77 acres (31 hectares) of mountain land with waterfalls and panoramic views located in Santa Elena in the highlands of Pérez Zeledón in San José province. This large parcel offers 360-degree views, two waterfalls and abundant year-round water – perfect whether you’re looking to develop a private estate, a retreat or wellness project, or an eco-focused development.
Spanning 77 acres (31 hectares) at approximately 3,500 feet above sea level, the land enjoys a cooler mountain climate with natural breezes and comfortable temperatures throughout the year. Views from Chirripó to the San Isidro Valley The 360-degree views extend from the Chirripó mountain area across to the San Isidro Valley, taking in a wide sweep of the surrounding highlands. The land is reached from the end of an established residential community, giving you privacy without sacrificing convenient access, and preserved natural land wraps around the property beyond that community, helping protect both the views and the quiet setting from future construction.
Water is one of the property’s defining features. Two waterfalls with natural swimming holes are found on the land, along with a freshwater river and three additional quebradas that run year-round, while a natural spring provides a further source and adds to the potential for sustainable development. A network of trails crosses the property, giving access to the waterfalls, the forested areas, the water features and a series of scenic viewpoints.
Two well-maintained access roads suitable for full-size vehicles serve the land, and multiple construction pads have already been cut. Water and electricity are available at the entrance of the property. Completed Plans for an 18-Suite Retreat Center For buyers looking at a development opportunity, the sale includes completed architectural plans for an 18-suite retreat center, along with four apartments and a private residence. The combination of natural resources, existing infrastructure and varied terrain opens the land up to a wide range of uses, from a private estate or family compound to a retreat, a wellness center or an eco-focused development.
With its abundant water, panoramic mountain views and clear development potential, this is a wonderful option for buyers exploring land for sale in Costa Rica , whether you are looking to build a private home or take on a larger project.
