Riverfront Farm in Dos Bocas Hatillo with Rich Biodiversity

Property overview

A 72.4-acre riverfront farm in Hatillo, just north of Dominical, where a year-round river defines the northern boundary and creates natural swimming holes across the property. The river access also presents a viable site for a small-scale hydroelectric installation, an increasingly relevant asset in a country already committed to renewable energy.

The property sits approximately 10 kilometers from the main coastal highway, which means genuine separation from road noise and the kind of privacy that is nearly impossible to find closer to the beach towns. The surrounding jungle supports abundant wildlife — howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, and small mammals are common throughout, with the biodiversity profile closer to Osa Peninsula / Corcovado than to typical Pacific coastal land.

The land was recently cleared and carries established internal access. Multiple potential homesites are distributed across the terrain, with the topography supporting a variety of development strategies — private community with individual lots, an organic farming operation, or a conservation-focused eco-lodge concept. The village of Hatillo itself offers basic amenities and a community of Costa Rican residents, and Dominical's full range of restaurants, markets, and services is 10 minutes south.

At this scale and price point, farmland of this character in the Dominical catchment area is rare. For a buyer focused on scale, natural water, and biodiversity rather than highway proximity, this farm offers assets that simply cannot be replicated closer to the coast.
