The Jungle Residence — Luxury Riverfront Home for Sale in Herradura, Costa Rica, Near Los Sueños Resort & Marina
$895,000 | 4 Bed / 4 Bath | 250 m² Living Area / 6,200 m² Lot
Most "jungle" properties in this market are jungle-adjacent. This one is genuinely inside it. A short turn off the main road in the hills above Herradura Bay puts you on a private, rainforest-style estate of more than 6,000 square meters, with a river running alongside the property — and at the center of it, a customized three-bedroom luxury home built in 2023 that I'd describe less as a house and more as a piece of architecture that happens to be livable.
Every detail here was clearly considered rather than defaulted to: handcrafted finishes, high-end appliances, a built-in poolside fire pit, and an open, breeze-driven layout across two stories and 250 square meters of living space. Split-unit air conditioning handles the warmer afternoons, and open-air private parking accommodates several vehicles. This is a fully furnished, move-in-ready property built with both personal living and high-end rental income in mind.
Herradura itself is one of the more underrated addresses on this coast, and one I know better than almost anyone — it's a nearly circular bay carved into the Pacific coastline, sheltered from ocean swell by natural headlands, with calm, swimmable water rare on this part of the coast. It sits about 10 minutes north of Jacó on the Costanera highway and immediately adjacent to Los Sueños Resort & Marina, home to the Los Sueños International Billfish Tournament — one of the most prestigious sport fishing events in the Americas. Humpback whales, dolphins, and manta rays are seasonally encountered in the waters off the bay's mouth, and the surrounding forest is continuous with the same Garabito wildlife corridor that produces Jacó's famous monkey and macaw sightings. Read more in our Herradura neighborhood guide, and see the Jacó Wildlife Guide for what that wildlife corridor actually means in daily life.
Local Context for Buyers
Biodiversity & setting: A riverside jungle lot here is genuine wildlife habitat — howler and capuchin monkeys, sloths, toucans, and river-corridor birdlife are a daily presence, not an occasional treat.
Getting around: 10 minutes to Jacó, immediately adjacent to Los Sueños Marina and golf course; about 80 minutes to SJO airport.
Real estate context: Herradura's market runs from roughly $250,000 for condos to $3M+ for luxury bay-view estates, with beachfront on the calm bay itself a genuine rarity on this coast — most Pacific beachfront elsewhere is surf-exposed.
Who this is for: A buyer seeking a true architectural statement home for personal use, or an owner targeting the luxury villa rental segment.
