23.5-Acre Riverfront Farm Near Ojochal with Waterfall & Permaculture Potential

A HUGE 23.5-Acre Farm for Sale Near Ojochal Costa Rica, surorunded on 3 of 4 sides by a river and a creek. Enjoy the Sprawling Jungles & Pasturelands Only Minutes From the Amenities, Services & Luxuries of Costa Ballena! And the Development Options Here are UNREAL! 

⚡THE LAND & SUSTAINABILITY 

Discover a rare opportunity to own 23.5 acres of pristine land in the lush Osa Peninsula, just south of Ojochal in the quiet village of Balsa near Puerto Cortés. This property combines the best of Costa Rica’s natural beauty—riverfront living, waterfalls, cascades, swim-holes, fertile farmland, and vibrant wildlife—making it the ideal setting for a permaculture retreat or private estate. 10 acres of fertile farmland are ready for cultivation, complemented by 13.5 acres of forest teeming with wildlife. The land sits adjacent to a 250-acre private reserve, ensuring total privacy and protection of the surrounding environment. Two creeks form the three sides of the land's borders, flowing down parallel gullies before veering towards each other and meeting at a confluence. The fourth border line runs along the public road.

💰INVESTMENT & DEVELOPMENT GOLDMINE 

Because this land touches a public road, both residential & commercial development options are on the table. And this is a GOLDMINE opportunity. A sub-division, residential development, a HUGE multi-structure family compound, hotel, exclusive resort, commercial centre, retirement community, yoga or spiritual retreat, and even a full mixed-use investment can materialize here. Or how about a super-exclusive eco-resort that leaves most of the land untouched, keeping the jungles and allowing the pastures to revert into a lush tropical lowland rainforest? And, of course, this property can be utilized as a farm, ranch or perma-culture farm. A friendly eco-community, with off-the-grid lifestyle, can happily exist here.

There are several building sites on the property, allowing for plenty of options. One main building area at the highest point of the land offers 360° valley views and cool river breezes throughout the day. It sits very privately and is hundreds of meters away from any neighbors. A very rare and exclusive set-up. Electricity is already in place with public road frontage for ease of access. A water well will need to be put in place for water access. There are no current building restrictions.   

🌄NEIGHBOURING LOT 

In addition, a neighbouring 32-acre lot is also for sale - the listing for this lot can be accessed HERE. This other lot also holds a beautiful 2-bed home with a swimming pool, carport, pond, and solar power system, plus an operational water well. Combining these two offers would create a HUGE 55-acre private kingdom with an existing home, water source and untold development potential. Because the river, waterfall, swim holes and cascades form a border of these two properties, these beautiful and useful water features would become TOTALLY SECRET & PRIVATE. They are accessible from both properties. 

And with the ongoing development of Costa Rica’s 3rd International Airport – to be located south of the nearby town of Cortés – this property just got MUCH MUCH MORE LUCRATIVE! 

🚗ACCESS 

The access road is PAVED almost all the way to the property borders – this is a HUGE bonus and negates the need for a 4x4. Such easy access to a nature-immersed lot is almost unheard-of in our area. The Costanera Highway is just 4km away.

🐒SURROUNDINGS & WILDLIFE 

Green Pasturelands, deep jungles, hills and nearby coastal mountains envelop the land. Panoramic mountain & jungle views stretch in every direction. The surrounding mountains & forests are a part of the DANTA (Tapir) Wildlife Corridor, so expect to see macaws, monkeys (white-faced, squirell and howler species), toucans, blue morpho butterflies, coatis, anteaters, 250 species of birds (!) and (if you are lucky) tapirs and jaguars. The jungle dusk & dawn symphony will be unforgettable – animals, birds, cicadas, and frogs will see you off & welcome you to the new day.

📍LOCAL AREA 

The neighboring service & expat towns of Palmar, Cortés, and Ojochal (the unofficial culinary capital of Costa Rica) are a quick drive away. And our area’s new-ish full-service hospital, Tomás Casas Hospital, is 8km distant. The famous Playa Ventanas, with her thundering sea caves, is 27km away while Playa Tortuga, where sea turtles lay their eggs, is a quick 26km drive. The Costanera highway is only 4km away. And the future international airport location is about 22km from the farm – construction is planned to start very soon. 

Further afield, the world-famous Corcovado National Park – revered by National Geographic as the most intense place on the planet in terms of biodiversity – is a 68km drive away while the town of Sierpe – the gateway to Térraba–Sierpe National Wetland, a famous mangrove wonderland – is only 27km away. Drake Bay, a wild jungle town famed as the entry way to Corcovado NP, sits 82km distant. 

Designed for Those Seeking to Escape City Life, This Property Offers the Perfect Canvas for a Self‑Sustainable Homestead or Permaculture Estate. With Fertile Soils, Abundant Water, and Complete Privacy, It’s a Dream Property for Anyone Seeking a Balanced, Off‑Grid Lifestyle in One of Costa Rica’s Most Biodiverse Regions.
