Three beautiful ocean view acres in a private, gated, master planned community. Private preserve and green zones assure that this acreage will continue to support the full diversity of native animal, plant, flower, and tree species that occupy the bosque and surrounding forest lands. There are waterfalls and streams that meander through this acreage providing a great source of recreation and relaxation. Nature trails were carefully planned for homeowners to take advantage of the Ocean, Waterfall, Stream, and pristine Costa Rica Mountainside views. Good access on well maintained community road. Water and electric readily available nearby. A lot of area on this plantelle (building site) for construction and recreation. This is a huge park like setting. Terriffic view of the well known south Pacific rock formation "Tres Hermanas" and out to the incredible Marino Ballena National Park, home of the famous "Whales Tail" rock formation and reefs. Only minutes to the Pacific Coast highway and some of the finest beaches and parks in all of Costa Rica including Playa Tortuga, Playa Ventanas, Playa Pinuela, Playa Ballena, Playa Uvita, Playa Hermosa, Playa Domincalito, Playa Dominical, and Rancho la Merced National Wildlife Refuge. Great proximity to the new southern zone Hospital in Cortez, the site of the proposed new southern zone International Airport, and the 30,000 + hectare Terraba Sierpe National Wetlands, which protect the extensive river mouth delta systems, estuaries, and wetlands between the Terraba River and the Sierpe River. Terraba Sierpe has one of the largest protected Mangrove reserves in the world and an enormous, intricate conglomerate of river deltas, estuaries, and wetlands that wind between the rivers and up to Boca Sierpe (mouth of the river), where the river meets the ocean. The mangroves, like an estuary, provide a unique, protective ecosystem that supports an exceptional and diverse amount of life, particularly waterfowl and fish. Boca Sierpe leads to the shorelines of Isla Violines Island, Drake Bay, and Isla Cano Island. Drake Bay sees a yearly migration of whales that come to calve and feed their young, and is home to a multitude of dolphin. The town of Sierpe is in the lush and beautiful Valle De Diquis (Diquis Valley). The valley is well known for its giant hand carved spheres of stone and other archaeological relics from pre-columbian times. Seller financing with 50% down for a 5 year term and a balloon payment at the end of the term.

Terraba Sierpe has one of the largest protected Mangrove reserves in the world and an enormous, intricate conglomerate of river deltas, estuaries, and wetlands that wind between the rivers and up to Boca Sierpe (mouth of the river), where the river meets the ocean. The mangroves, like an estuary, provide a unique, protective ecosystem that supports an exceptional and diverse amount of life, particularly waterfowl and fish. Boca Sierpe leads to the shorelines of Isla Violines Island, Drake Bay, and Isla Cano Island. Drake Bay sees a yearly migration of whales that come to calve and feed their young, and is home to a multitude of dolphin. The town of Sierpe is in the lush and beautiful Valle De Diquis (Diquis Valley). The valley is well known for its giant hand carved spheres of stone and other archaeological relics from pre-columbian times.]]>
