Description:
Finca Cabo Blanco Vista al Mar
Located in the mountains of Mal País on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, this approximately 212-acre estate represents a remarkable offering within the Costa Rica luxury real estate market, combining significant land size, biodiversity, and close proximity to some of the Pacific coast’s most renowned beaches.
The property borders the Cabo Blanco Absolute Natural Reserve, the oldest protected reserve in Costa Rica. This unique location creates a continuous stretch of preserved forest and ensures an extraordinary natural environment with exceptional biodiversity.
The land features a diverse landscape of hills, mountain ridges, natural trails, and seasonal streams that run through different areas of the property. From several elevated points, expansive views open toward the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plateau where the beaches of Mal País and Santa Teresa stretch along the shoreline.
These elevations create a rare ocean view property in Costa Rica, offering privacy, natural surroundings, and panoramic perspectives across both the jungle valleys and the coastline.
Despite its peaceful and secluded atmosphere, the property sits just two kilometers from the coast. Within minutes, residents can reach the beaches of Mal País and Santa Teresa, internationally recognized surf destinations known for consistent waves, vibrant culinary offerings, and a diverse community centered around wellness, surfing, and coastal living.
The surrounding forest supports abundant wildlife, including howler monkeys, tropical bird species, and many animals native to Costa Rica’s tropical dry forest ecosystem. In the evenings, strategically planted ylang-ylang trees release a natural fragrance that enhances the sensory experience of the landscape. The ecological richness and striking topography of the area have even attracted documentary crews from Animal Planet, who have filmed wildlife within the region.
To the north lies Santa Teresa, a coastal village widely known for its surf culture, yoga retreats, and international community. Over the years, its beaches have been consistently ranked among the most attractive coastal destinations in Central America.
To the south, Mal País connects directly with the Cabo Blanco Natural Reserve. Established in 1963 through the efforts of conservationists who donated more than 3,000 acres to the country, this reserve became Costa Rica’s first national park and remains a cornerstone of the country’s eco-tourism legacy.
To the east are the coastal villages of Cabuya and Montezuma. Cabuya provides access to the main entrance of Cabo Blanco Reserve and offers a quieter coastal atmosphere. Montezuma is known for its waterfalls, lush landscape, and artistic community.
Within the property, the highest elevations rise above 300 meters above sea level, creating wide ocean views as well as sweeping perspectives of the surrounding jungle valleys. Three rivers run through and along sections of the land, adding natural water sources and scenic beauty to the property.
Because of its scale, elevation, and location within one of the most desirable regions of the Nicoya Peninsula, this property also represents a compelling investment property in Costa Rica. The land offers multiple possibilities, from creating a private mountain estate with several residences integrated into the landscape to a carefully designed development that takes advantage of both ocean and jungle views.
With extensive forest areas and several potential building sites overlooking the ocean and surrounding valleys, this estate stands out as a rare Costa Rica development land opportunity in the Mal País and Santa Teresa region.
Combining elevation, biodiversity, ocean views, and proximity to the coast, this property represents a distinctive offering within international Luxury Real estate in Costa Rica.
