Spectacular Rainforest and Ocean View Retreat

This spectacular Rainforest and Ocean View Retreat is located on the Pacific side of the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica’s wildest and most spectacular region.  This property is one of a kind and operates as an ecolodge and holistic retreat.  A true gem and the Crown Jewel of the Osa!  Situated right on the coast, this end-of-the-road destination is, in all aspects, the land of enchantment, where the mountain rainforest meets the ocean, offering stunning ocean and forest views and miles of deserted tropical beaches.  And the abundant wildlife here will make you think you’re in a National Geographic special where sightings of exotic species are a daily experience, including the highest concentration of Scarlet Macaws worldwide.  There is nothing like it in all of Costa Rica.  Simply spectacular!  

Zoning: The property is part of the Saimiri Wildlife Refuge, named after an endemic species of white face monkeys.  The refuge was created in 2007 with six neighboring properties to ensure conservation and sustainable development, allowing only low-impact touristic type projects under the guidelines of the Refuge Management Plan. This area is part of an important biological corridor within walking distance of Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica’s most famous and diverse protected area.  

The Land: Undulating topography from sea level to over 400 feet with several oceanview sites suitable for future development, including an amazing site along a low ridge that parallels the coastline with a 360-degree view.  The interior section is a bowl-shaped valley also well suited for low-impact development.  The back end of the land lends best to eco-farming/permaculture.  Otherwise, the landscape consists mostly of primary forest, tropical landscaping, and mature fruit forest. 

Access:  By land:  about an hour’s drive along the all-weather road from Puerto Jimenez, the gateway to Corcovado National Park.  By air:  fly in and out by charter plane from the paved airstrip adjacent to the property – you can even build your own private hanger right on the property!
