Sunbeams breaking through clouds over the ocean at Jacó, the headland and the town, framed by forest

Jacó · Costa Rica

Limehouse

Where city meets jungle.

The vision

Close enough for the town. Deep enough for the forest.

LIMEHOUSE is a vision of roughly 300 hectares across the hills of Jacó and neighboring Playa Hermosa, on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast.

On the Jacó side, the offering is land: forested hillside with views toward the ocean and the town. The idea is simple — keep the forest close, and keep Jacó’s beach, restaurants and surf within reach. How close depends on the parcel.

Some parcels within the wider area belong to other owners and are not offered here.

Owner-described features of the overall land. Not every parcel includes every feature; views, trails, water and access vary by parcel and are confirmed individually.

The forest

A canopy that runs right to the edge of town.

From the western ridges, the forest spreads down toward Jacó and the ocean. The owner describes much of it as virgin forest — tall, layered and largely untouched.

01 · The land

Choose your scale.

Land on the Jacó side is offered in three broad scales. Exact sizes, boundaries, pricing and availability are confirmed parcel by parcel, on request.

Good to know. Availability is subject to confirmation. Buyers should independently verify title, boundaries, access, utilities and permitted use with their own advisors before any purchase.

For scale

See that figure in the branches? That’s a person.

Photos from the ridge flatten the forest. Up close, these are big trees — the kind that take decades to grow.

A little history

History

A hillside with a film history.

According to the owner, portions of 1492: Conquest of Paradise were filmed on this property, and roads built for the production remain in use today.

Owner-provided history. Not a statement of legal or public road access, or of the condition of any road.

Surf & town

Year-round surf on your doorstep.

David’s signature move.

Jacó and neighboring Playa Hermosa are known for consistent surf through the year.

Up the hill, the forest. Down the hill, the beach town. That is the idea behind LIMEHOUSE: where city meets jungle.

Surf conditions vary with season, swell and tide.

02 · Location

Between the ocean and the canopy.

The land rises from the edge of Jacó, one of Costa Rica’s best-known Pacific beach towns. Playa Hermosa sits just to the south, where the rest of the LIMEHOUSE story continues.
