5 ACRES – 2 Bedroom Home Off The Grid With 1 Km Of River Frontage!

Property overview

# 5 Acres with 1 Kilometer of River Frontage – Off-Grid Mountain Home in San Isidro

Positioned in the heart of San Isidro's coveted agricultural belt, this 5-acre holding exemplifies the enduring appeal of Southern Costa Rica's farm and ranch market, where buyers prioritize land stewardship, energy independence, and long-term appreciation over market volatility.

The property's crown jewel is its uninterrupted kilometer of Río Pacuarito frontage, where natural swimming holes and a tiered waterfall featuring a pristine natural jacuzzi offer year-round recreation. From the expansive covered patio of the recently completed (2017) 900 sq. ft. residence, the river's gentle rhythm becomes a constant companion—a private symphony of flowing water and mountain ambiance.

Deliberately modest in footprint, the 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom retreat allows the remaining acreage to serve the new owner's vision without constraint. Substantial flat terrain accommodates diverse applications: boutique agricultural ventures, nature-based hospitality enterprises, or a serene family sanctuary. The existing fruit tree canopy—bananas, plantains, mangos, avocados, mammon chinos, star fruit, oranges, and limes—speaks to the land's exceptional fertility and immediate productive potential.

Energy independence defines this property's infrastructure. Riverfront sections support small-scale micro-hydroelectric generation, while expansive sun-exposed areas welcome solar panel installation with battery storage. Multiple freshwater systems—river access, rain collection, municipal supply—provide redundancy. Grid electricity sits merely 500 meters away for those preferring connection.

San Lorenzo's quiet charm lies 7.5 kilometers distant, anchored by an elementary school and central church. Beach culture awaits in Dominical (45 minutes), while San Isidro's comprehensive services—schools, hospitals, retail—sit 25 minutes inland. This proximity to both wilderness and civilization defines the region's magnetic appeal.
