Property Description

Finca Rio Rosario is a 70-acre property for sale in San Juanillo, Guanacaste, roughly 7 km from the village of San Juanillo and the string of beaches that make this stretch of the Nicoya Peninsula one of Costa Rica’s more secluded corners.

The land itself is what sets it apart. Spanning 70 acres (28.5 hectares), the property is held under private title and slopes gently down the mountainside into the Rio Rosario valley, ending in 500 meters of direct frontage on an unspoiled river.

Part of the finca also fronts a public road, and electricity service currently runs to that road and up to the property’s entrance. Water is available on-site from a registered well. The property is also planted with fruit trees and roughly 2,500 teak trees, adding ecological character and standing timber value, and the river corridor supports a resident population of tropical birds and other wildlife.

San Juanillo itself is a low-key village known for its swimmable coves and beaches, with restaurants, shops, and bars along its main strip and activities that range from kayaking and fishing to turtle watching, horseback riding, and yoga. The Ostional Turtle Protection Reserve sits nearby, and Nosara — with its regional airport, shopping, and restaurant scene — is about 15 km to the south. Much of the surrounding real estate, including homesites within the Finca Los Sueños International community established in 1993, borders private nature reserve, reinforcing the area’s reputation as a place bought more for privacy and long-term value than short-term turnover.

Does the Finca have road access and utilities available?
Part of the property fronts a public road, and electricity currently reaches that road and the property’s entrance, though it has not been extended into the finca itself. Water is available on-site through a registered well.

How far is the land from the beach and from Nosara?
Finca Rio Rosario is about 7 km from the village of San Juanillo and its beaches, and roughly 15 km north of Nosara, which offers a regional airport, shopping, and dining.

Finca Rio Rosario combines river frontage, mountainside topography, and a rare mix of natural and agricultural value on Guanacaste’s Nicoya Peninsula. Contact Hidden Coast Realty for more details or to schedule a visit to the property.
