Finca Río Barú – 44 Hectare Agricultural And River Estate Near Uvita

44 Hectares / 108.7 Acres | Río Barú | Legal Spring Concession | Existing Infrastructure
Located in the lush Barú region of southern Costa Rica, this exceptional 44-hectare finca combines abundant water, productive land and valuable infrastructure with remarkable potential for future development. Surrounded by tropical nature, the property offers the space and versatility to become a private homestead, regenerative farm, wellness retreat or nature-centered community.
Water is one of the finca’s greatest assets. The Río Barú enhances the landscape and creates breathtaking natural swimming holes—private places to relax and experience the surrounding rainforest. The property also holds a legal concession for a natural spring located within the finca. A 10,000-gallon water-storage tank, equivalent to approximately 37,850 liters, is already installed for residential and agricultural use.
The land’s productive growing conditions are demonstrated by an impressive abundance of established fruit trees. A banana field and turmeric field are ready for harvest, providing an immediate foundation for continued cultivation and regenerative agriculture.
A substantial greenhouse measuring 66 by 48 feet—approximately 3,168 square feet or 294 m²—has already been constructed for protected growing, propagation and year-round food production.
Further infrastructure includes a simple caretaker’s residence, a basic solar-power system and fiber-optic internet access, providing a practical starting point for managing and developing the property.
The Barú region enjoys warm tropical conditions throughout the year. The drier season, generally from December through April, brings sunnier weather, while the green season from May through November provides the rainfall that sustains the river, spring, vegetation and agricultural production. Forested areas and flowing water create natural microclimates throughout the finca.
A direct road toward Uvita requires rehabilitation and improvement. Once completed, the route is expected to place Uvita’s beaches, restaurants, shops and services just over ten minutes away, significantly enhancing accessibility and long-term value.
Whether envisioned as a self-sufficient private estate, multigenerational homestead, organic farm, eco-retreat or community, Finca Río Barú offers the land, water and infrastructure to create something truly distinctive.
All future development remains subject to applicable zoning, environmental regulations and permits.
