The reason people move here

Minutes from one of the longest left waves in the world.

Pavones is legendary among surfers for a point break that can hold a two-to-three-minute ride on a good south swell — a wave people cross the planet to surf. Your ridge sits ~750 m east of Rio Claro and about a 12-minute drive from the point, paved almost the whole way in.

The wave & the location
Walk-through · ocean from the terrace
Three levels, one ridge

Three build-ready terraces.
Take all three — or just one.

Heavy machinery has already cut and stabilised three flat platforms on the buildable sector. They can be acquired together as one estate or separately — and one terrace already has a working pool with an ocean view.

I

Terrace I — The Arrival

The first level off the internal road: a generous, level pad framed by mature palms and jungle edge.

Level padGravel road
II

Terrace II — The View

The widest platform, opening straight onto the Golfo Dulce horizon. Retaining wall and storm drainage in place.

III

Terrace III — The Pool

The crown of the ridge, where a pool already overlooks the Pacific — ready for a main house or retreat villa.

Two natures in one title

A private reserve wrapped around your home.

Of the 1.97 ha, about 1.28 ha is protected secondary rainforest — your permanent green buffer of toucans, monkeys and sloths under cedro amargo, pilón and vochysia. The remaining sector is the part you build on, and the groundwork is already done.

Roads & access in place

Internal gravel (lastre) roads cut to each terrace; mostly paved approach from the coast.

Retaining walls & drainage

Slope stabilisation, cunetas and culverts already engineered against the rainy season.

Pool already built

A working pool sits on the top terrace, looking out over the Golfo Dulce.

Protected rainforest

~1.28 ha of secondary forest, legally protected — guaranteeing privacy that no neighbour can erase.

Full land & legal details
Why this one is different

Titled, not concession. Owned outright — even by foreigners.

Fee-simple title

Registered finca inscrita, Folio Real 6-190768-000 — full private property, not a 20-year maritime concession like much of coastal Pavones.

Foreigners own 100%

Costa Rica grants foreigners the same ownership rights as citizens — no local partner or citizenship required.

100% uso conforme

2025 INTA soil studies certify fully conforming land use — the clean base you need for future building permits.

What you could build

One ridge, many futures.

Officially flagged by Costa Rica's INTA engineers as a zone of "great scenic beauty with potential for an ecotourism or conservation project."

Who is selling, and how a visit works

This ridge is sold directly by its owner, not through an agency. We bought the land, titled it, cut the access and the three terraces ourselves, and have walked every boundary with the surveyor — which is why the answers on this site are specific: the folio real number, the plano, the water source and the road status are all available to serious buyers before a deposit. A visit is simple: fly to San José or drive the Costanera to Rio Claro de Pavones, and we meet you at the village and walk the land together, usually in the morning before the heat. Bring questions about title, access and building; we would rather answer them on the ridge than by email. Ask the price on the contact page, read the owner's guide first if you are new to Costa Rica, or compare the market in Pavones real estate in 2026.
