The Future Heart of La Reserva @JCB Ranch
A Vision for the Future of La Reserva
At the highest point of La Reserva lies one of the community's most extraordinary opportunities—a spectacular five-acre resort site envisioned as the social and hospitality center of the entire development.
Imagine a boutique mountain lodge overlooking Costa Rica's breathtaking Northern Highlands. Picture a year-round lake surrounded by private casitas, walking trails, gardens, gathering spaces, fine dining, wellness experiences, and unforgettable sunsets.
This is more than land.
It is the opportunity to create the destination that brings the entire La Reserva community together.
A Boutique Mountain Resort Unlike Anywhere Else in Costa Rica
At the very top of La Reserva sits one of the most remarkable development opportunities in Costa Rica.
Encompassing 55,000 square meters (13.6 acres) and offered at $1,380,900 USD, this extraordinary property has always been envisioned as the heart of the community, a boutique mountain resort where residents, visitors, and travelers from around the world gather to experience the beauty of Costa Rica's Northern Highlands.
This is not simply a hotel site.
It is the future centerpiece of La Reserva.
Imagine What's Possible
Imagine arriving through beautifully landscaped entrance gardens before discovering a boutique mountain lodge overlooking miles of forests, valleys, and volcanic peaks.
Guests gather on expansive terraces to enjoy spectacular sunsets while dining on locally inspired cuisine. Comfortable fireplaces glow beneath the evening sky, mountain breezes drift through open-air gathering spaces, and every view reminds visitors they are somewhere truly extraordinary.
Just below the lodge, a beautiful year-round lake becomes the focal point of the resort.
Walking trails circle the shoreline.
Stone bridges cross gentle waterways.
Native gardens filled with orchids, heliconias, bromeliads, flowering shrubs, and towering palms create a landscape that changes with every season.
Thoughtfully placed throughout the property, beautifully designed cabins and luxury casitas provide privacy while remaining only a short walk from the resort's restaurants, wellness facilities, and gathering spaces.
Every accommodation feels immersed in nature.
Designed Around Nature
The vision for this property has always followed the same philosophy that shaped the rest of La Reserva.
- Work with the land.
- Preserve the landscape.
- Build something that belongs here.
Rather than reshaping the mountainside, the resort would be carefully woven into the existing terrain using natural stone, Costa Rican hardwoods, sustainable building practices, and architecture that celebrates the surrounding forests instead of competing with them.
The result is a destination where guests experience the beauty of Costa Rica exactly as it was meant to be experienced.
Endless Possibilities
With 13.6 acres available for development, the property offers exceptional flexibility while maintaining the peaceful character that defines La Reserva.
Potential amenities could include:
- Boutique mountain hotel
- Luxury casitas and private cabins
- Year-round lake with walking paths
- Wellness spa and fitness facilities
- Yoga pavilion
- Fine dining restaurant
- Sunset wine terrace
- Outdoor event pavilion
- Conference and executive retreat facilities
- Wedding venue
- Nature interpretation center
- Coffee lounge
- Firepit gathering spaces
- Birdwatching platforms
- Organic gardens
- Farm-to-table culinary experiences
The possibilities are limited only by imagination.
A Destination Within a Destination
La Reserva already offers exceptional homesites, completed residences, breathtaking mountain scenery, fresh spring water, and direct access to Juan Castro Blanco National Park.
The future resort has the opportunity to bring those experiences together into a destination unlike any other in Costa Rica.
- It becomes the place where residents gather for dinner.
- Where visitors begin exploring the Northern Highlands.
- Where families celebrate milestones.
- Where corporate retreats inspire new ideas.
- Where weddings become unforgettable.
- Where wellness seekers reconnect with nature.
- Where travelers discover a side of Costa Rica few people ever experience.
The resort becomes the heart of the community.
An Extraordinary Investment Opportunity
Very few hospitality properties combine this scale, elevation, infrastructure, and natural beauty.
Fewer still offer 55,000 square meters (13.6 acres) within a thoughtfully planned mountain community adjacent to one of Costa Rica's most pristine national parks.
For the right visionary developer, this represents a rare opportunity to create a landmark destination that will define La Reserva for generations to come.
Whether envisioned as a boutique mountain resort, an eco-lodge, a luxury wellness retreat, or a world-class hospitality destination, this property offers the space, setting, and vision to become one of Costa Rica's most memorable mountain escapes.
Opportunities like this are extraordinarily rare.
At the highest point of La Reserva sits 55,000 square meters (13.6 acres) already envisioned as the centerpiece of an established mountain community. Unlike purchasing raw land in a remote location, this property is surrounded by completed homes, future residences, existing infrastructure, spectacular scenery, and one of Costa Rica's most remarkable natural attractions,
Juan Castro Blanco National Park.
Imagine arriving through a welcoming mountain village before reaching a boutique resort overlooking endless mountain vistas. Guests spend their mornings exploring waterfalls, hiking cloud forests, birdwatching, horseback riding, coffee farms, and volcanic landscapes before returning to exceptional dining, wellness experiences, lakeside relaxation, and luxury accommodations unlike anything else in the Northern Highlands.
This is a destination with the potential to attract far more than overnight guests.
It could become the preferred venue for destination weddings, executive retreats, wellness retreats, culinary events, eco-tourism, family vacations, adventure travelers, and international visitors seeking an authentic Costa Rican mountain experience beyond the traditional tourist routes.
The beauty of this property is not simply its size.
It is the opportunity to create a destination that serves both the residents of La Reserva and travelers from around the world—one that becomes recognized as one of Costa Rica's premier boutique mountain resorts.
For the right developer or hospitality group, this is more than a land purchase.
It is the opportunity to create one of the most distinctive tourism destinations in Northern Costa Rica.
