580 Acre Ocean View and Riverfront Ranch in Playa Hermosa

Opportunities to acquire a property of this scale, beauty, and development potential along Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast are becoming increasingly rare. Spanning an impressive 580 acres in the sought-after Playa Hermosa region, this exceptional ocean-view ranch offers a unique combination of infrastructure, accessibility, natural beauty, and investment flexibility.

Positioned just minutes from the golden beaches and world-famous surf breaks of Playa Hermosa, the property enjoys direct access via paved roads from the Coastal Highway, providing effortless year-round accessibility. With public road frontage, electricity, and water already in place, the ranch is primed for immediate use or development.

The defining feature of the property is its spectacular ridgeline that stretches across the ranch, offering dozens of potential building sites with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, lush tropical valleys, and surrounding mountains. At the highest elevation, a breathtaking summit homesite commands extraordinary 360-degree views, encompassing the coastline, rainforest-covered mountains, rolling pastures, and the endless Pacific horizon.

Unlike many large landholdings in Costa Rica, this ranch is free of building restrictions, allowing future owners complete freedom to execute their vision. Whether creating a luxury residential community, an exclusive low-density development, a multi-generational family estate, an eco-conscious retreat, or a private ranch shared among friends and family, the possibilities are virtually limitless.

The property already includes a caretaker's residence and established infrastructure, providing a practical base of operations while planning future improvements. Extensive internal roads and open pastures blend seamlessly with forested sections, creating a landscape that is both functional and visually stunning.

Adding to its rarity and value, the ranch enjoys river frontage, providing year-round water, recreational opportunities, and a natural amenity that enhances both lifestyle and development value. The combination of river access, ocean views, fertile land, and proximity to the coast is exceptionally difficult to find in a single property.

From luxury estate homes perched along the ridgeline to a carefully planned residential community designed to preserve privacy and natural beauty, this ranch offers the scale and flexibility to accommodate virtually any vision. The property's topography naturally lends itself to low-density development, allowing each future homesite to capture spectacular views while maintaining a sense of exclusivity and connection to nature.

Surrounded by the vibrant lifestyle of Costa Rica's Central Pacific coast, owners enjoy immediate access to renowned surfing, sport fishing, hiking, wildlife viewing, restaurants, and modern conveniences, while still enjoying the privacy and tranquility that only a property of this magnitude can provide.

This is more than a ranch—it is a legacy property. A rare opportunity to secure 585 acres of ocean-view land in one of Costa Rica's most desirable coastal destinations, with infrastructure in place, unrestricted development potential, river frontage, and some of the most spectacular building sites available anywhere on the Pacific Coast.
