It would be hard to imagine a property with more versatility than these 657 acres offer. High on a mountain top, you have views all around, as well as both original forest and open areas to use for your creative purposes.

Horses with equestrian trails? Mountain biking trails? Hiking trails? Micro communities sharing a desire for a more natural lifestyle? Camps? Retreats? Training centers? Orchards for pleasure and profit? Gardens and small animals? Conservation? You could do any of those, or almost all of them at once, and much more with the space available, all while enjoying supreme privacy and the full range of Costa Rica's biodiversity.

If the idea of going off grid and experimenting with self sufficiency appeals to you, this is a place where you could make it work. It's not far from San Isidro or Dominical's beaches, but it's a world away in a cool, comfortable climate year around. Water and electricity are already on site for your convenience.

There is already a house on the land. It's a comfortable, private home with plenty of room for a leisurely lifestyle that's low on maintenance and high on tranquility. Don't expect luxury here -- the whole point was to have a modest human footprint and let the world around it get all the attention. It could be your permanent home or a place to stay while you develop your ideas.

Access is on a well maintained road because the electricity company uses those roads to get to their own properties. In a relatively isolated place, that's a huge plus.

There really isn't any way to understand this property without seeing it. Even then, it will take a long, long time to get to know it's every nook, cranny and soul spot.
