We are pleased to announce the sale of this 225-acre jungle oasis in the mountains of Mal Pais on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in all of Costa Rica. The extensive tract of land forms a contiguous stretch of forest with Cabo Blanco National Park, Costa Rica’s oldest nature reserve. This property comprises a lush mosaic of jungle, rolling hills, mountains, streams and hiking trails with many plateau views of the sandy beaches of Mal Pais and Santa Teresa.

The beach is only 2 kilometers away, and many of Costa Rica’s finest surf breaks are within minutes. For people seeking a laid-back setting to decompress, we offer a world-class retreat where the only sounds you will hear are the roars of howler monkeys and a symphony of birds.

The neighboring town to the north, Santa Teresa, is world-renown for great surf and magical beaches. Beautiful people of all ages do surf and yoga by day and enjoy fine dining and nightlife by night. For several years running, TripAdvisor has ranked the beaches of Santa Teresa as the best in all of Central and South America.

To the south, Mal Pais is bordered by Cabo Blanco National Reserve, the product of a donation of over 3,000 acrres made in 1963 by a Swedish couple, thereby creating the first national park in the country and establishing an eco-friendly tourist destination.

To the east lies the seaside hamlets of Cabuya and Montezuma. Cabuya provides the main entrance to Cabo Blanco and includes some beautiful beaches and interior surf breaks. Montezuma boasts spectacular waterfalls and maintains a more Bohemian vibe.

We offer a unique combination of sheer size, elevation and pastureland, set within the context of the dry tropical rain forest. The highest elevations peak over 300 meters, overlooking the ocean as well as the dense jungle canopy of the valleys. Three rivers run within and along the property.

Our resort is a universe unto itself with potential bounded only by the imagination of the architect. The current owner has been approached in the past with ideas ranging from: a canopy tour in the treetops, adventure biking trails, a mountain jungle campsite, a Hollywood set, and a reality TV show.

Perhaps the highest and best use is as an extended family compound in which family members or friends can build houses within the same compound. The pervasive jungle provides a buffer to the outside world and affords the dweller an opportunity to rejuvenate. There exists untapped potential for manifold additional ocean and jungle view building sites.

Due to its sheer size and special elements, this property and its structures represent one of the best investment opportunities in the area as property values continue to inflate. This unique opportunity awaits the prescient buyer with a clear vision.
