Uvita Bahía Ballena Osa, Puntarenas 00001, 哥斯达黎加

Tucked away in the hills above Uvita, Finca Gilguero offers an ideal mix of mountain seclusion and coastal accessibility. Located just 25 minutes from downtown Uvita via the shortest road, this 7.8-hectare property (78,048 square meters / 19.28 acres) provides easy 4x4 access from three different directions, including the paved road through San Josecito and an alternative route from San Isidro. While it feels remote, you’re never too far from groceries, services, or the beach — making it perfect for someone seeking a more self-sufficient, nature-connected lifestyle without being completely off the grid.

The farm’s layout is a major strength. A well-maintained internal road brings you through the land, connecting multiple areas including two natural building sites. The main homesite offers an outstanding view that blends ocean, mountains, and the valley of La Florida below. On clear days, you’ll even catch a glimpse of the famous San Luis waterfall. From this spot, the shape of the land gives you a panoramic view across most of the property — a rare and valuable feature. The second building site has a completely different atmosphere, surrounded by towering trees and jungle, with a peaceful view into the canopy — perfect for a guest house or private retreat tucked into nature.

What truly makes Finca Gilguero special is the combination of natural elements that coexist here. About 90% of the land is secondary forest, home to an impressive variety of wildlife — from colorful butterflies and birds to monkeys, frogs, and even occasional sightings of tapirs and wild cats. The network of trails that run through the land allow you to explore the jungle with ease and lead you to a small creek, gentle waterfalls, and a spring that provides a natural water source with a current water concession in place.

One acre of the property is mostly flat and has already been cleared, offering a clean slate for development. It’s ready for two or more homes, gardens, or whatever your vision may be. The climate is refreshingly cool year-round, typically between 70°F and 80°F (21–27°C), and the land is dotted with existing fruit trees — a legacy of the Costa Rican family who lived and worked here for over two decades. You’ll still notice traces of their presence, like the PVC piping that once brought water from the spring to their home, and the carefully established paths and terraces throughout the land. These features reflect years of thoughtful land use and give the property a sense of place and continuity.

Electricity is available just 0.3 miles away, and the property sits right in front of a public road — adding convenience for future development or visits. Whether you’re looking to build a private home, a nature-based retreat, or a small off-grid project, this property offers the right elements to bring that vision to life.

Finca Gilguero would be a great match for someone looking to live a quieter life closer to nature, perhaps grow their own food, and enjoy privacy and clean mountain air. The surrounding towns — El Ceibo, La Florida, and San Luis — reflect a way of life still rooted in agriculture and community. Meanwhile, Uvita (just 30 minutes away) and San Isidro (about an hour) provide access to larger stores, healthcare, schools, and other services. You're also not far from the vibrant Diamante Valley, known for its organic farming and holistic living, or the beautiful Nauyaca Waterfalls.
If you're ready to explore a property where the forest, ocean breeze, and peace of mind come together — Finca Gilguero is worth a visit.
