Property Description

Located just 10 minutes from Playa Dominical, this extraordinary 117-acre estate offers panoramic ocean and mountain views and represents one of Costa Rica’s most compelling wellness and hospitality development opportunities. Its defining feature is a rare high-temperature natural hot spring of volcanic origin, creating the foundation for a world-class thermal wellness destination. The geothermal spring produces approximately 8 liters per second at 52°C (125.6°F), providing ideal conditions for thermal pools, hydrotherapy circuits, luxury spa facilities, medical wellness concepts, longevity retreats, and boutique resort operations. In a region where geothermal resources and secure water rights are exceptionally scarce, this asset offers significant long-term strategic value. The property ranges in elevation from approximately 220 to 380 meters above sea level, providing cooler temperatures, refreshing breezes, and spectacular ocean vistas. More than 35 potential building sites are distributed across ridgelines and elevated terraces, many featuring breathtaking ocean views and natural privacy. The topography is perfectly suited for luxury hospitality, wellness, and residential development. Adding to the property’s appeal are two easily accessible natural waterfalls connected by internal roads and established paths. These unique features create exceptional opportunities for wellness programming, eco-tourism experiences, and destination branding. Significant infrastructure is already in place, substantially reducing development risk. Improvements include an internal road network with engineered drainage systems, three perforated wells with water rights, underground electrical infrastructure reaching multiple building sites, and 25 segregated, registered parcels that allow for phased development, joint ventures, or strategic resale opportunities. Large portions of the estate remain protected natural areas, preserving biodiversity and wildlife while enhancing its eco-luxury appeal and long-term sustainability credentials. The property is ideally suited for a luxury thermal wellness resort, branded health and longevity retreat, geothermal spa destination, luxury hotel, or a master-planned low-density residential community. Combining a high-output geothermal hot spring, elevated ocean-view building sites, on-site waterfalls, existing infrastructure, and close proximity to Playa Dominical, this estate offers a rare opportunity to create a landmark wellness and hospitality destination. More than simply land, it is a development-ready platform with irreplaceable natural assets and exceptional investment potential.
