If the appeal of a mountain lot has ever been undercut for you by the reality of building on one, this is the parcel to look at. At 1.32 acres, its distinction is the building site itself — one of the largest and most workable in Avancari, and paired with a beautiful ocean view.

That combination is less common than it sounds. Plenty of lots in the Costa Ballena offer a view; considerably fewer offer a view alongside a building pad generous enough to design on freely. Here you have room for a substantial single-family home, a pool and terraces oriented to the Pacific, and proper outdoor living space — without the retaining walls, pilotes and engineering premiums that a tighter site would demand. For a buyer who wants to build without turning the project into an engineering exercise, that translates directly into a shorter timeline and a more predictable budget.

The elevated position delivers a second view most buyers do not expect. Along with the Pacific in front, the jungle-covered mountains rise behind, green and largely untouched. Morning mist settles into those ridges and burns off through the day — a view that changes constantly and never quite repeats.

In the interest of a complete picture: this parcel does not have creek frontage, and while the total land area is generous, a good portion of it is steep and not fully usable. The practical value here is concentrated in the building site and the views rather than spread across the acreage. For most buyers that is precisely the right trade — you are paying for the part of the land you will actually live on.

The full range of Avancari's water features comes with ownership: the private natural swimming hole with its small cascades, reserved for Avancari owners only; the second waterfall reached by the community trail; and the 100-foot-plus main Avancari waterfall at the top of the development, with its maintained path and dedicated parking area.
