There is a simple but well-built cabin built recently on the land, perfect to stay in while building one’s dream home, to later have available for a caretaker or rental income.
In an area where small ocean-view lots are selling for $250,000+ this land is an exceptional value at about $15,000/acre.
LAND
One thing that makes this land unique in the Uvita/Ojochal area is how much flat area it offers. In the mountains even on large lands it can be common to only have a few acres of usable land, but here there are many dozens of acres of gentle rolling pastures, creating an absolutely ideal set options for how to develop and share the land.
This land offers unparalleled ease of development and use, exceptionally rare in the Uvita mountains. Several hundred meters of public road frontage offer diverse options for how to use the land, with options to make some small road-side lots if desired, or have a wide range of commercial uses. There is public water available for ease, redundancy, and to obtain building permits, with many pristine springs which can then be used in parallel for quality and resilience.
The owner has prepared the rough internal roads, helping to ease future development and access the best parts of the land. Easily accessible without needing bridges or expensive road projects like so many other large rural lands, the cost and ease to develop are ideal.
Likewise this land is perfect for using a combination of micro-hydro and solar to enjoy fully off-grid energy minimizing future energy costs, which if desired can be combined with dual connection to the country’s power grid for redundancy.
This land is special for its healthy organic soil, unparalleled water resources, and an excellent climate for growing a wide range of tropical fruits and vegetables.
The land has been chemical-free for many years, and would be an excellent location to grow world-class organic vegetables and tropical fruits. Fertile soil, pristine spring water, a healthy biodiversity, light breezes and an ideal altitude all contribute to some of the healthiest environment one could hope to find to grow healthy nutritious tropical fruits and vegetables.
There are several mature fruit trees on the land, which would be excellent to expand on with fruit tree forestry to complement other food systems, as both a way to generate food for residents, a commodity for sale or trade with the local community, and to help regenerate the soil and provide habitat for wildlife. Costa Rica’s leading reforestation expert has plans ready to go for 700-1,000 diverse trees to provide future residents with non-stop baskets of delicious and nutritious tropical fruits.
The upper portion of the land is mostly primary forest going up a gorgeous mountainside. There are a few plantels with spectacular ocean views within the forest, along with many other special nooks throughout the rolling pastures below.
An easy well-maintained trail meanders through the forest passing by some of the special features, some ancient and immense trees, and pass some of the many springs enroute to the waterfall.
With the springs located in the pristine forest, the purity is exceptional, and will stay that way into the future as the topography is makes any conventional agriculture or industry upriver not possible.
Also with the springs above the homesites protected in the primary forest it provides for the best case scenario of being able to use gravity fed spring water of maximum purity for the homes and spring-fed pools.
Having no industry or conventional agriculture above ensure the land remains pristine for a thriving and sustainable future.
