Seaside house with pool and terrace Pavo (Costa Rica)

The Sacred View of Osa is an eight-hectare off-grid eco-sanctuary perched above a lagoon and the Pacific Ocean on Costa Rica’s untamed Osa Peninsula, just one mile from the entrance to Corcovado National Park, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. This extraordinary retreat includes eight elevated, private bungalows, each oriented toward sweeping views of rainforest, lagoon, beach, and open ocean. From this natural ridgeline, the panorama is both vast and intimate: sunrise over the jungle, sunset into the Pacific, and starlit skies that feel close enough to touch. Every day, wildlife moves through three distinct ecosystems—marine, aquatic, and rainforest—turning each moment into a living documentary. From howler monkeys and scarlet macaws to sea turtles and whales, The Sacred View of Osa sits within a rare ecological convergence.At the heart of the property are three distinct and compelling paths forward for the next owner:1- Preserve and EnhanceContinue operations as an off-grid eco-lodge with light upgrades, appealing to nature lovers, researchers, and experiential travelers. 2- Refine and ExpandElevate the existing bungalows with upgraded finishes and kitchenettes, increasing comfort and broadening market appeal. 3- Visionary Re-CreationTransform the lodge into a world-class eco-retreat inspired by iconic wilderness destinations, expanding positioning of The Sacred View of Osa among the most unique nature properties in Central America.Each of the eight bungalows is built with solid stucco walls and ceramic tile floors, offering privacy, hot showers, and expansive decks with panoramic views. Five of the bungalows include plunge pools. The current design is clean and neutral, offering a blank canvas for updates or a complete reimagination aligned with a buyer’s vision. The entire property operates sustainably, powered by a fully off-grid solar system with battery storage. Water comes from a mountain spring, filtered at source and again at the gravity-fed storage tank. Each unit includes propane-based hot water and 110V electricity, enabling low-impact living that integrates harmoniously with the land.The property fronts 280 meters of coconut-lined beach and is bordered on three sides by the lagoon known locally as Little Dogfish Lagoon. It is accessed via the coastal road connecting Carate and Puerto Jiménez. Once cleared for cattle, the land has been regenerated through sustainable forestry and conservation practices, allowing the rainforest to return while preserving clear sightlines and wildlife corridors. The result is a rare combination of raw natural power and thoughtful development potential.The Sacred View of Osa is not just property: it is presence. It invites a slowing down, a listening, a reconnection with something essential. In a world of noise and speed, this place calls for stillness and purpose. For the right visionary, The Sacred View of Osa offers not just a setting, but a legacy of a sacred space.
