149 Acres
A rare opportunity to acquire a signature asset: over 60 hectares (148 acres) of lush waterfront land, four elevated residences, and build-ready platforms in world-renowned Nosara, Costa Rica.
Finca Austria is an expansive private estate nestled in the hills of Nosara, offering sweeping ocean and jungle views across one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after coastal regions. Set within a lush, nature-rich landscape, the property combines scale, serenity, and proximity — just minutes from Nosara’s beaches, fine dining, wellness centers, and both local and international communities.
Designed as a multi-residence compound, Finca Austria unfolds across gently contoured terrain, blending hacienda-inspired architecture with open-air living and generous gathering spaces. The estate is anchored by expansive terraces and outdoor lifestyle areas, with internal roads and pathways connecting homes, gardens, and communal zones with ease.
Each day begins with an unforgettable natural spectacle: sunrise illuminating the mountains in soft gold. Mornings invite a slower rhythm — a promenade along the floating path lined with mango, banana, and starfruit trees heavy with fruit, leading to the roofed deck — the perfect place to enjoy Costa Rican gourmet coffee from hanging chairs while watching the Nosara River shimmer, its waters covered in sunbeams.
As evening approaches, the sky transforms into an embracing golden sunset over the Pacific Ocean, the Nosara River, and the surrounding jungle canopy — a daily rhythm of light and beauty that defines life at Finca Austria.
At night, the estate becomes unforgettable — a spray of diamonds scattered across a coal-black sky, with uninterrupted views of constellations and celestial panoramas, free of light pollution, an increasingly rare luxury.
An iconic highlight is the estate’s 30-meter lap pool — the longest in Nosara — complemented by additional pools and outdoor lounge spaces that create an immersive resort-like atmosphere within a fully private setting. Finca Austria also includes a helipad, further elevating its accessibility and prestige.
Whether envisioned as a private family sanctuary, a wellness-focused enclave, a curated retreat setting, or a long-term investment in one of Costa Rica’s most desirable regions, Finca Austria offers a rare balance of natural beauty, architectural flexibility, and enduring value.
This is a rare offering: a substantial landholding with established infrastructure, multiple residences, and immediate development flexibility. Access is convenient, with an approximate 12-minute drive during the dry season and 20 minutes during the rainy season.
Finca Austria is thoughtfully organized across elevations and the Nosara River frontage, creating a natural separation between the main residences and the lower homes. The property’s water access and circulation reflect a long-term vision focused on durability, sustainability, efficiency, and ease of use.
The estate includes two substantial homes positioned uphill, offering commanding views and enhanced privacy:
One house with two primary suites and two additional bedrooms
Another house with one primary suite and three additional bedrooms
Three smaller houses at the lower area of the property near the river, immersed in lush vegetation and benefiting from a cooler microclimate and a tranquil natural soundscape.
A 200-meter-long integrated protective dyke, built with heavy 2-meter-diameter boulders, safeguards the lower areas of the estate during the rainy season, reflecting the property’s long-term, resilience-focused planning.
Beyond its residential appeal, Finca Austria has long served as a meaningful gathering place for the region, known for its connection to the local community through professional soccer training and championship-level participation, as well as for hosting renowned music festivals and cultural events.
Finca Austria includes five individual lots available for future construction, each with a 1,000 m² building platform:
Four lots with ocean views
One lot with mountain and river views
These platforms are fully integrated with the estate’s existing road, water, and electrical infrastructure, offering immediate development potential or phased expansion.
Additionally, the property offers significant development potential in other parts of the hills and in the lower portions.
The estate was developed with exceptional foresight and aesthetics, resulting in infrastructure that is both robust and low-maintenance.
Professionally designed internal road system
Electricity and water are already in place, including solar panels and over 35,000 liters (9,246 gallons) on reserve tanks.
200-meter-long protective dyke concealed in the lower section, preserving the pied dans l’eau calming sight
Advanced drainage engineering:
Drainage installed every 20 meters on steep sections
Drainage installed every 50 meters on flat sections
This design minimizes erosion and runoff, requiring virtually no regrading or refilling, keeping long-term maintenance to a minimum.
Select renovations and cosmetic updates are envisioned to refresh the property while preserving its architectural identity. Notably, the estate features superb oversized local hardwood columns and classic forged-iron lamps, intended to remain signature, timeless design elements.
Casa Colibrí
Built across two levels, Casa Colibrí includes a honeymoon suite with a large terrace, a family suite, and two additional bedrooms. The ground floor opens to a generous outdoor living area with multiple shaded lounges, a 30-meter [approximately 100-foot] pool — the longest lap pool in Nosara — with a children’s section, massage jets, and a hot tub with a palm-thatched pool bar. A dining area completes the space, and a yoga platform with a fitness corner sits between Casa Colibrí and Villa Mariposa.
Casa Colibrí also includes a separate chef’s kitchen, ideal for private entertaining, events, or elevated family living.
Villa Mariposa
The hacienda-style villa is surrounded by expansive terraces and multiple lounge areas. It features a 15-meter infinity pool with ocean views on one side and lush tropical gardens on the other. The villa offers two master suites and two additional bedrooms. An illuminated pathway connects Villa Mariposa with Casa Colibrí.
Mango Cottage
A private residence featuring two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, an additional bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large covered terrace. A secluded plunge pool and private garden make Mango Cottage ideal for guests seeking independence and privacy.

Designed for groups of 10–12 guests, the Jungle Lodge consists of two sections — Balou and Mögli. Together they offer two kitchens, three bathrooms, and a separate guest restroom. Recently renovated, the lodge blends rustic character with modern comfort and includes a BBQ area, rancho, and serene river views frequented by hummingbirds and butterflies. The Balou section alone comfortably accommodates 6–8 guests.
