Waterfront Golfo Dulce, Puerto Jimenez, Puerto Jimenez, Puntarenas, Puntarenas, Costa Rica 60702
Rare Golfo Dulce Waterfront Property with Additional Acreage Near Puerto Jiménez
Discover a truly rare opportunity on Costa Rica’s wild and spectacular Osa Peninsula: two separate parcels totaling approximately 19 acres, offered together in Playa Amapola just outside the thriving community of Puerto Jiménez. The centerpiece is approximately 7 acres with direct frontage on the Gulfo Dulce and, most importantly, direct water access from the property—an increasingly rare opportunity in Costa Rica for those who dream of living on the water.
The waterfront parcel includes a titled portion with a rustic, open-air tropical home featuring 1+ bedroom and 1 bathroom. Designed for indoor-outdoor living, the home embraces the natural beauty and climate of the Osa Peninsula. Solar panels currently provide all of the property's electricity, allowing for a comfortable off-grid lifestyle, while public electric service is available directly at the property should a future owner prefer to connect. A separate 2-bedroom guest house has also been used successfully as a vacation rental, offering additional accommodation for guests, family, or income-producing potential.
Both existing homes are functional and provide an excellent opportunity to begin enjoying the property immediately, while allowing a new owner to update and personalize them over time. Alternatively, build your dream home overlooking the Golfo Dulce and use one of the existing residences while construction is underway. The existing improvements provide flexibility, but the true value of this property is its extraordinary location and direct access to the water.
The land surrounding the homes offers a quintessential Osa Peninsula setting, with mature fruit trees, a shrimp pond, abundant wildlife, and the extraordinary biodiversity for which the Osa is renowned. Here, nature is not something you visit—it is part of everyday life. Despite its wonderfully private and tropical setting, the property is easily accessible and does not require a 4WD vehicle. At high tide, it is even possible to bring a boat directly from the deep water gulf to the property, opening the door to an entirely different way of living.
For a boating or fishing enthusiast, this is an especially compelling opportunity. The direct water access could be ideal for someone dreaming of a private waterfront lifestyle, a charter fishing or sightseeing operation, or simply having a boat at the doorstep for exploring the Gulfo Dulce and surrounding coastline. Waterfront properties with this kind of practical ocean access are exceptionally difficult to find in Costa Rica.
Adding even more potential to the offering is a separate approximately 12-acre parcel included in the sale. This additional property is relatively flat and has historically been used as farmland. It also benefits from frontage along the public road leading toward Puerto Jiménez—an important advantage for anyone considering future development, agricultural use, commercial possibilities, or simply preserving additional land for the future. Together, the two parcels offer an unusual combination of waterfront living, acreage, accessibility, and expansion potential.
Just outside Puerto Jiménez, the property is close enough to enjoy the area's growing selection of restaurants, grocery stores, hardware stores, services, and other amenities while maintaining the natural character and privacy that make the Osa Peninsula so special. Puerto Jiménez also has a domestic airport with multiple daily flights to and from San José, making this remote-feeling corner of Costa Rica surprisingly accessible.
For buyers searching for Costa Rica oceanfront real estate, Osa Peninsula property, or a unique waterfront investment near Puerto Jiménez, this offering deserves serious consideration. It combines direct Golfo Dulce access, existing homes, solar power, additional development potential, agricultural land, road frontage, and proximity to Puerto Jiménez in one package. Whether your vision is a private tropical retreat, a waterfront homestead, a vacation rental or tourism business, or simply the opportunity to own a piece of one of Costa Rica's most extraordinary coastal regions, this is a property with genuine potential and exceptional natural value.
