Puerto Cortés, Osa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Fifty acres of mostly usable land. Abundant nature including jungle, wildlife, birds and a spring bubbling out of the ground. There is a sizable river that runs along the lower edge of the property. There are both ocean & sunset views from selected areas of the property. All this about 12 minutes from Uvita's town center. The proximity to Uvita's grocery stores might be rendered unnecessary. After living on this property for a while, you may find that you don't go the the grocery store as much - or at all. The property does a gentle slope from its highest point down to the lowest, which is at the level of the river. The profile makes most of the property usable for farming, gardening and of course, your choice of structures. At the uppermost point of the property there is a gorgeous jungle with its own jungle micro- climate and eco-system. Numerous examples of Costa Rica's wildlife call this place home.
