5-Acre Riverfront Land in San Josecito, Uvita

San Josecito, Uvita, Costa Rica

San Josecito, UvitaLocation

Property Details

Rising about 1,000 feet above sea level in San Josecito, near Uvita, this 20,234-square-meter parcel looks out over the open Pacific, the Whale's Tail formation, and Caño Island in the distance, framed by mountain ridges on every side. A river runs directly through the land, feeding a series of clear pools along its banks.

A cleared, level pad near the river stands ready for a future build, and a paved route connects the property to Playa Hermosa and central Uvita in around ten minutes without requiring four-wheel drive. Power lines, fiber internet, and a domestic water connection already reach the site, and the parcel fronts a public road.

An adjoining ocean-view lot, plus ten more riverfront acres further downstream with two more building pads, can be purchased separately, and monkeys, toucans, and morpho butterflies move through the surrounding canopy. Email info@gap.cr for current availability and details.
