22-Acre Development Property in Ojochal Costa Rica

A HUGE lot next to Ojochal’s town centre – with large, cleared building areas and both flat & hilly sections, the opportunity to express your creative vision is IMMENSE! 

🌳 THE LAND 

The burbling Río Tortuga traces a long natural border along the property, creating a thriving wildlife corridor and a serene tropical sanctuary. It’s clear, cool waters offer refreshing relief on warm days—perfect for shaping a small swim hole with a few well‑placed river stones. 

The 22-acre landscape is largely flat & covered in open grasslands, park-like clearings, and savannah-style meadows. Along one edge, gentle hills and sloping terrain provide an ideal setting for an elevated home with views over the river and surrounding jungle. 

Along the river, the protected lowland rainforest connects directly to the vast mountain wilderness of the DANTA Wildlife Corridor. This ensures the surrounding jungle—and the peaceful, wild atmosphere it brings—will remain untouched for generations. 

Many tropical fruit trees populate large sections of the lot, offering fresh & health produce for morning smoothies or afternoon fruit salads. 

Land area: 90,417 m²  •  973,311 ft²  •  22.4 acres  •  9 hectares. Most of the land is usable & waiting for development – a rare benefit as many properties of this size include vast land areas that are unavailable for development, for a number of reasons. 

🚗 LOCATION & ACCESS  

Located adjacent to Ojochal’s town center, this property is a peaceful & wild oasis in Costa Ballena’s top expat area. The land borders a river, empty lots, and several homes just across the property line.

After turning onto Avenida Principal and crossing Ojochal’s new entry bridge, the road winds through town, past shops, residential neighborhoods, and pockets of jungle before reaching the property just outside Ojochal’s main population area. Access is reliable year‑round, and no 4x4 is required.
