Premier Whale's Tail View 4.25 Acre Development Property with Tiny Home in Uvita
Located atop one of Uvita's most coveted front ridges, this extraordinary 4.25-acre estate parcel offers what is arguably the finest ocean view property available in all of Costa Rica's Southern Zone. With breathtaking 180-degree panoramic views stretching across the Pacific Ocean, the iconic Whale's Tail Sand Bar, and the protected waters of Marino Ballena National Park, this is a truly rare opportunity to secure a trophy property in one of the country's fastest-growing luxury destinations.
The land features two spectacular primary building sites, each commanding massive unobstructed ocean views and year-round sunset panoramas. A third building site offers partial ocean views, creating the perfect location for a guest villa, caretaker residence, wellness retreat, or additional income-producing accommodation. The property's elevated front-ridge position guarantees uninterrupted vistas while providing cooling ocean breezes throughout the year.
From sunrise to sunset, enjoy sweeping views of the coastline, lush rainforest-covered mountains, and the famous Whale's Tail formation that has made Uvita internationally renowned. During whale migration season, owners can often witness humpback whales breaching directly from their future infinity pool terrace.
Existing Infrastructure In Place Creates Value and Ease of Future Development
Adding tremendous value, the owners have recently completed a brand-new 160 sqft, one-bedroom, one-bathroom tiny home on the property. This thoughtfully designed residence allows a new owner to comfortably live on-site while constructing a larger luxury home. Upon completion of the main residence, the tiny home can seamlessly transition into a guest casita, caretaker's quarters, property manager's residence, or an additional rental villa.
In addition, established across the grounds is a permaculture food forest, professionally designed and planted with a variety of fruit trees — a headstart toward a regenerative, largely self-sufficient lifestyle that is hard to replicate from scratch.
Infrastructure is already in place, allowing for immediate development. The property enjoys public road frontage, connected electricity, and ASADA water service. Unlike many luxury properties in the area, there are no restrictive building covenants or architectural limitations, providing complete freedom to create a custom estate, luxury vacation rental compound, boutique retreat, or multi-generational family property.
Properties with this combination of location, infrastructure, development flexibility, and world-class views rarely become available. Whether your vision is a luxury private estate, an income-producing retreat, or a legacy family compound, this exceptional Uvita property provides the perfect foundation for creating something truly extraordinary.

Uvita & Marino Ballena National Park
Located along Costa Rica's spectacular Southern Pacific Coast, Uvita has become one of the country's premier destinations for luxury living, eco-tourism, and outdoor adventure. The area is known for its pristine beaches, lush rainforest-covered mountains, abundant wildlife, and relaxed coastal lifestyle. Residents enjoy a unique blend of modern conveniences, excellent restaurants, international schools, and easy access to some of Costa Rica's most beautiful natural attractions.
At the heart of the region is the world-famous Marino Ballena National Park, Costa Rica's first marine national park. The park is best known for the iconic Whale's Tail Sand Bar, a naturally formed peninsula visible at low tide that resembles the tail of a whale from above. The protected waters surrounding the park serve as a sanctuary for migrating humpback whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and countless marine species, making it one of the best whale-watching destinations in the world.
With year-round warm temperatures, stunning sunsets, and a commitment to conservation, Uvita offers an exceptional quality of life while remaining one of Costa Rica's most desirable real estate investment destinations.
