The Estate

A private plot inside a protected wilderness

Selva de Sueño sits on a private 5,000 m² plot within a secured estate of more than 300 hectares — fully integrated into a protected natural environment where privacy, biodiversity and serenity blend harmoniously.

Howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, macaws, hummingbirds and butterflies move through this remarkable ecosystem daily — a rare experience in direct contact with nature.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

Can foreign nationals buy property in Costa Rica?

Yes. Foreign buyers enjoy the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens and can hold fully titled property in their own name. Selva de Sueño is sold on titled land, and the purchase is completed before a Costa Rican notary with funds protected in escrow.

What is included in the $695,000 turnkey price?

Everything from plans to keys: the titled 5,000 m² plot, complete architectural plans, construction with on-site supervision, landscaping, and turnkey delivery of the main villa, the guest bungalow and the natural infinity pool.

How does payment work during construction?

Payments are released in stages that follow the build — 10% to reserve, 20% at start and foundations, 30% at structure and roof, 30% at finishes and landscaping, and 10% on delivery. Construction takes approximately 10 months from preparation to handover.

Can the property generate rental income?

Yes. The estate is designed for premium short-term rental, and the independent guest bungalow is ideal for hosting. Comparable Punta Uva villas rent from roughly $350 to $850 per night; our projection estimates close to $1M in gross rental income over the first seven years. Figures are illustrative, not guaranteed.

How is build quality assured for the Caribbean climate?

Materials are chosen for durability and low maintenance in a tropical environment: PALMEX synthetic palm roofing (25-year warranty), MADEROTEK compressed laminated pine framing (20-year warranty) and CORKS RIBAS flooring — all installed under continuous on-site supervision.

Where is Selva de Sueño, and can I visit?

On Calle Paraíso in Punta Uva, on Costa Rica's southern Caribbean coast — about 8 minutes from Punta Uva Beach, 15 minutes from Puerto Viejo, and beside the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. Limón airport is about an hour away and San José about 3.5 hours. We're happy to arrange a private viewing — request the dossier or message us on WhatsApp.
