Plan Your Escape. Claim a Rarity. Offered quietly is a trophy property at the highest point in Montezuma, Costa Rica, spanning more than 16 acres of elevated ocean-view land with direct access to the Montezuma River and walkable proximity to the iconic Montezuma Waterfall. This private, jungle-framed estate features a solid concrete residence with multiple indoor-outdoor living areas, expansive terraces, and sweeping Pacific views. Constant breezes, remarkable privacy, and a natural river corridor with swimming pools create a setting that feels worlds away — yet remains minutes from beaches, town, and a regional airport. Opportunities combining elevation, scale, water features, and proximity in Montezuma are exceedingly scarce. Suitable for a legacy retreat, private compound, or Montezuma Trophy Property A defining feature of the property is its direct boundary with the Montezuma River, buffered by a wide corridor of mature trees and jungle. Multiple access points provide enjoyment of natural rock swimming pools formed along the river below a highly desirable amenity rarely found in such close proximity to town and beaches. Access is via a private easement road, and the property offers potential for future subdivision into parcels as small as 5,000 m2, subject to applicable municipal and national regulations. Zoning allows approximately 25% site coverage, and vacation rentals are permitted, making the property suitable for personal enjoyment, a private retreat, or strategic investment. Utilities include ASADA water, ICE electricity, and internet availability. The location is minutes from Montezuma Beach, within easy reach of the Cobano regional airport, and a short drive to neighboring coastal and surf destinations. Ownership is fee simple under Costa Rican law. Buyers are advised to retain Costa Rica-based legal counsel experienced in foreign transactions, as escrow, title insurance, and closing procedures differ from U.S. practices. An exceptional opportunity to acquire a large-scale, elevated Montezuma holding offering ocean views, river access, waterfall proximity, privacy, and development flexibility a truly scarce combination in this market.
