Sanctuary Above the Falls | 2.57 Acres with Breathtaking Views in Valle Diamante, Costa Rica
Discover extraordinary beauty and tranquility in this exclusive 10,421 m² (2.57-acre) property located in the peaceful hills of San Salvador, part of Costa Rica’s spectacular Valle Diamante. What sets this land apart is its unrivaled front-row view of the iconic Diamante Waterfall, framed by lush cliffs and jungle—with distant ocean views adding to its magic.
Ready for Your Vision
The property features two large, flat areas, perfect for building a main home, guest villas, retreat spaces, or a combination. Both sites are positioned to maximize privacy and views.
Already on-site is a charming two-level rancho, ideal as a temporary home, caretaker’s house, or construction basecamp. It comes equipped with water, electricity, and high-speed fiber optic internet availability.
Immersed in Nature
Surrounded by forest, the property attracts abundant wildlife. From your doorstep, you can spot toucans, parrots, monkeys, sloths, deer, and more.
