Nestled in the scenic hills of San Josecito, Uvita, this exceptional 5-acre (20,234 m²) property offers an increasingly rare combination of panoramic Pacific Ocean views and private river frontage. Positioned at approximately 1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level, the property captures sweeping vistas of the famous Whale’s Tail, Caño Island, the surrounding mountain ranges, and lush tropical forest, all complemented by refreshing year-round breezes and a comfortable climate.
Located just 10 minutes from both Uvita and Playa Hermosa via a fully paved road, the property is easily accessible without the need for a four-wheel-drive vehicle. This prime location places you within one of Costa Rica’s fastest-growing coastal communities, known for its blend of natural beauty, modern amenities, and strong investment potential.
One of the property’s defining features is its direct access to a pristine river, where crystal-clear turquoise swimming holes provide the perfect setting for relaxation and recreation. The river corridor also creates a natural privacy buffer, preserving the tranquil atmosphere while attracting an abundance of local wildlife, including monkeys, toucans, morpho butterflies, and countless tropical bird species.
The main homesite offers a generous, mostly flat building area with unobstructed ocean and mountain views, making it ideal for designing a luxury private residence or vacation retreat. The protected riverfront below enhances both the privacy and long-term value of the property while creating a unique connection between ocean and rainforest.
For buyers seeking additional opportunities, an adjoining ocean-view parcel is also available for purchase, allowing for the creation of a larger estate, boutique eco-retreat, wellness sanctuary, or family compound. An additional 10-acre riverfront property downstream can also be acquired, featuring two more potential building sites for expanded residential or hospitality development.
The property already benefits from essential infrastructure, including ICE electricity, legal water service, and high-speed fiber optic internet, allowing future construction to begin with ease.
Residents enjoy a welcoming community made up of both local families and international homeowners, with convenient access to restaurants, grocery stores, organic markets, excellent schools, healthcare services, and the many outdoor attractions that have made Uvita one of Costa Rica’s most desirable destinations. The property also provides an alternate route east toward Tinamaste and San Isidro without relying on the coastal highway.
Combining breathtaking ocean views, private river access, existing utilities, and exceptional expansion potential, this is a rare opportunity to secure a truly distinctive homesite in one of the Southern Pacific region’s most sought-after locations. Whether envisioned as a luxury residence, boutique hospitality project, or long-term investment, this property offers an outstanding balance of natural beauty, privacy, and future potential.
