Location: Quepos, Costa Rica
This 5.93-acre property sits at the end of the neighborhood road at approximately 984 feet above sea level, offering refreshing mountain breezes, cooler evenings, and impressive elevated ocean views. Facing the ocean, mountain views extend to the side, while the rear of the property borders a remarkable 649-acre reserve, creating a lush natural backdrop and exceptional privacy.
In addition to the primary building site, a secondary pad sits below and provides an ideal location for a guest house, fitness studio, garage, workshop, or recreational space.
Ideal Building Orientation:
Access to the main building site arrives from the rear, creating a natural entrance for a thoughtfully designed residence. This allows the principal living spaces, terraces, and pool area to face directly toward the ocean, with the building pad oriented 238 degrees southwest.
Wildlife & Natural Surroundings:
Portasol attracts homeowners who value nature and wildlife. Rivers, rainforest, and protected land create an exceptional natural habitat, with sightings ranging from toucans and other tropical birds to monkeys—including occasional spider monkey sightings near the river.
The Portasol Community:
Portasol is an established gated community located approximately 5 minutes from the coastal highway via paved road. Residents include both full-time and seasonal homeowners, with some properties also operated as vacation rentals. The community offers 24/7 security, video surveillance, optional onsite administration, and private internal roads that follow the Portalón River through the tropical landscape. Nature trails and community areas provide access to impressive waterfalls and natural river pools, while beautiful beaches and excellent surfing are approximately 10 minutes away.
Infrastructure Ready:
Internal driveways are already complete, and positive electricity-availability letters have been issued by ICE. Legal water is available through ASADA Portalón, supplied from a natural gravity-fed spring originating along the upper mountain ridge. Fiber-optic internet is also available throughout the community. The result is the atmosphere and privacy of a remote tropical retreat without sacrificing the convenience of established utilities and infrastructure.
Development Potential:
The Quepos Municipality zoning certificate allows construction of up to 10% of the property’s total area, providing a maximum construction footprint of approximately 2,400 m². The zoning certificate is available upon request, together with additional information regarding how the permitted construction area may be distributed.
