Full Description: Pristine rain forest and coastal Osa Peninsula real estate on and around the beaches of San Josecito. This is a large, intact piece of tropical paradise that lyes close to a world renowned conservation area, Corcovado National Park. This acreage is the heart of Costa Rican wildlife and eco-diversity. Of the 148 acre tract of real estate, an estimated 125 acres are lush, undisturbed primary tropical rain forest lands. 8+ acres are on the beach. This is a part of the rich Osa Peninsula in South Costa Rica, referred to by National Geographic as "one of the most biologically intense places on earth." This property has all of natures amenities you could hope to find in the tropics with roughly 646 feet of beach frontage, secondary rain forest with open clearings (some 23 acres) just off the shoreline, and undisturbed primary rain forest and bosque with mammoth old growth trees. The primary rain forest acreage is accessible only by “senderos” (hiking paths), as these rich and diverse lands can never be cleared or impeded on in any unnatural way. This rare opportunity to purchase highly prized Osa Peninsula real estate provides for a registered and recorded plano (survey), escritura (title), and beachfront concession in process. The landscape is a combination of flat and level terrain by the waters edge leading into the secondary forest, and then changing to become rolling and hilly as it enters the primary rain forest. A fresh water stream, spring, and some tributaries wind themselves through the acreage to provide a life line to the native inhabitants, Costa Rica’s Osa wildlife. Electric service exists roughly 2 kilometers from the property line however many land owners prefer the services of natural solar power as an alternative. This Osa Peninsula real estate looks out over the waters of Drake Bay, and outward to Isla Cano Island, recognized for its beaches, coral beds, rich sea life, and fascinating archaeological history, most notably a collection of giant stone spheres from pre-columbian times that remain scientifically unexplainable. The waters of Drake Bay are host to four different species of giant turtles, the largest coral reef on the Pacific coast of Central America, and the annual migration of the great Humpback Whale, as well as 24 other whale and dolphin species. It is believed that an estimated 80% of the whales in the world are conceived or are born in the waters of the Osa Peninsula. Don’t expect to see many visitors, this property is most often reached by boat, though road access does exist to a neighboring property in the dry season. This entire property would be an absolutely unique opportunity to provide eco-tourism with a wholly natural experience and insight to the tropical lands and waters of the Osa Peninsula. To get an idea of the diversity and abundance of native wildlife, one only has to learn about nearby Corcovado National Park. The park contains approximately 140 species of mammals, an estimated 375 species of birds, 117 amphibian and reptile species, 40 types of freshwater fish, all four Costa Rican monkey species, two and three-toed sloth, northern tamandua, the silky anteater, agoutis, tayras, coati mundi, a large variety of bird species with trogons, tiger herons, guans, hawks, tanagers, parrots, toucans and two distinct macaw species. Over 40 species of frogs, 28 species of lizards, more than 100 species of butterflies, 16 different hummingbird species, and the largest number of scarlet macaws anywhere in Central America. These lands are an environmental paradise. Daily airline flights to Drake Bay airport on both Sansa Airlines and Nature Air.
