Expansive 517-Acre Paradise in Tierras Morenas, Costa Rica

Nestled in the lush, rolling hills of Tierras Morenas, this breathtaking 517-acre (207-hectare) property offers an extraordinary blend of natural beauty, privacy, and potential for development. Located just 30 minutes from Platanillo and a similar distance from the stunning beaches of Dominical, this property provides the perfect balance between peaceful rural living and convenient access to Costa Rica’s spectacular coastline.
A Perfect Climate & Prime Location
Sitting at an elevation of 300-400 meters (985-1,300 feet) above sea level, this land enjoys a cooler, more comfortable climate compared to the lower coastal areas—ideal for year-round living, farming, or an eco-retreat. The region is known for its fertile, organic-rich soil, making it perfect for sustainable agriculture and reforestation projects.
Diverse Landscape & Natural Beauty
This expansive estate is a dream for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. With a variety of terrains, the property features:
Flat expanses, ideal for development or farming
Rolling hills offering stunning panoramic views
Lush forests, home to a rich diversity of wildlife and native flora
Multiple freshwater sources, including at least seven natural springs, several quebradas (streams), and multiple waterfalls
Vast pastures, perfect for horses, cattle, or rewilding projects
During a recent visit, we explored the land on horseback and discovered vibrant birdlife, untouched waterfalls, and pristine rivers winding through the property. This land is a true natural sanctuary.
Accessibility & Infrastructure
Primary access is via a well-maintained 2WD dirt and gravel road from Platanillo, passing through the scenic Guabo Valley.
Alternative 4WD access leads directly to the coast via Hatillo.
Electricity is already installed, with poles leading from the road to the main house site.
Water is abundant, thanks to the multiple springs and rivers.
