Hermosa Springs
Size: 315 hectares (778 acres)
Price: $2.6 million

100 acres are planted with valuable teak in 1998. The balance consists of a natural forest, streams, and pasture land.
Most of the property lies on ocean-facing hillsides, with countless spots from which to enjoy views of the Pacific Ocean. The property limits extend to the top of the mountain, which also allows for dramatic views from the ridge line to the inland
valleys.
A new owner will have access to a series of waterfalls that adjoin the property, along with many other waterfalls in Hermosa Springs, including one of the largest on the Central Coast, at 80 meters (260 feet). Most of the waterfalls are accessible by means of a walking trail which connects to the main access road into the property. The waterfalls create beautiful natural swimming pools in numerous locations.
The terrain of Hermosa Springs offers great mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking opportunities.
Two natural springs provide a high volume of excellent drinking water year-round.
This large, undeveloped property is abundant in wildlife. Howler and white-faced monkeys, deer, scarlet macaws, and toucans are commonly seen.

LOCATION
Hermosa Springs is situated in the hills overlooking the sunny beaches of Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica. At just ten minutes from Jaco, Playa Hermosa offers surfers some of the best and most consistent surf breaks in the world. With year-round waves and warm water, Hermosa hosts professional surf competitions attracting thousands of spectators and tourists. Jaco is Costa Rica’s most popular beach destination and offers a complete range of services and shops catering to tourists and residents alike. Just a short drive to the south are the beautiful and less frequented beaches of Esterillos, Bejuco, and Parrita.
From San Jose, it’s a 1 hour 45-minute drive to the property using the newly finished Autopista Caldera. This toll road, a $258 million government investment, is proving to be a huge asset for the rapidly developing Central Coast, as it has nearly halved travel time between the capital city and Jaco.
Hermosa Springs is also only about 72 km (45 miles) from Manuel Antonio National Park, the most visited national park in Costa Rica (ref:24488)
