Private and Sustainable Property in Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge

Discover a private and sustainable retreat in one of the most protected and natural areas of Costa Rica’s South Caribbean. This property features 13,000 m² (3.2 acres / 1.30 hectares) of land with an 82 m² house, perfect for those seeking privacy, immersion in nature, and potential for responsible development.

The property is located within the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge (RVSGM), a mixed-use protected area that ensures low-density development, biodiversity conservation, and a serene, authentic environment. Despite being in a protected zone, it is 100% titled private property, zoned for low-density use, with a minimum lot size of 1 hectare.

Wildlife & Development Potential
