An Exclusive Ridge Top Designer Residence with Two Additional Plantels for Building Plus Private River Frontage
4 Bedrooms | 250 m² (2,691 ft²) Residence | 20,000 m² (4.94 acres) Land | Two Car Carport
Set along Upper Unión Road just five minutes from central Uvita and 13 minutes from Marino Ballena National Park, this exceptional ridge top estate combines a thoughtfully designed four bedroom residence with 20,000 m² (4.94 acres) of rainforest extending from the ridge to the Ballena River below. Positioned approximately 250 meters above sea level, the property offers mountain views, direct river access, and two prepared plantels for future development.
The 250 m² (2,691 ft²) home was designed to create a seamless connection between indoor living and the surrounding landscape. Expansive sliding glass doors open to a sun filled terrace and infinity pool overlooking the forest canopy and mountains beyond.
Custom solid teak craftsmanship is found throughout the home, including handcrafted doors, beds, tables, and architectural details. The open concept kitchen features natural stone and timber countertops, designer lighting, and direct access to the outdoor barbecue and lounge areas.
The primary suite serves as a private retreat with custom marble finishes, white pebble accents, a monsoon rain shower, and a freestanding soaking tub positioned beside floor to ceiling glass overlooking the tropical landscape.
Beyond the residence, the property descends into a lush rainforest valley where a private trail leads to the clear waters of the Ballena River, secluded swimming holes, and a picturesque waterfall. The surrounding forest forms part of a thriving biological corridor where howler and squirrel monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, sloths, and blue morpho butterflies are frequent visitors.
Two prepared building plantels near the top of the property provide outstanding flexibility for future expansion. Plantel 1 measures approximately 400 m² (4,306 ft²) and Plantel 2 approximately 300 m² (3,229 ft²). The property includes confirmed legal water, a 7,500 liter storage system, approved water rights, and pre designed plans for an additional three bedroom luxury villa.
Although immersed in nature, the estate remains close to Uvita's restaurants, boutiques, services, beaches, and Marino Ballena National Park. It is a rare opportunity to enjoy exceptional privacy, established infrastructure, and future development potential in one of Costa Rica's most desirable locations.
Adding even greater value, the property is currently comprised of three separately titled parcels being offered together as one exceptional estate. This unique configuration provides outstanding flexibility for the future, retain all three parcels as a private legacy property, build additional residences on the existing plantels, or sell individual parcels independently to maximize your investment potential.
