Artisanal well
Lot 3 has its own artisanal well on the land — water at the homesite, not a shared line.

The parcel
A compact highland building lot in the same La Alfombra forest as Indian Rock — roughly 1,829 m², gently held above the valley.
Its own artisanal well sits on the land, and the Tinamaste feria is about ten minutes away on dirt roads. Mountain land, about twenty-five minutes up from Dominical.
The differentiator
The boundary, on the real ground.
A survey-grade polygon rebuilt from the property’s derrotero and anchored to GPS corners we walked on the line — laid over satellite imagery and terrain. Listing-grade, not a legal survey; the plano catastrado remains the legal document.
Interactive map
The live boundary map loads once a Mapbox token is configured (NEXT_PUBLIC_MAPBOX_TOKEN). The survey-grade GeoJSON for Lot 3 Homesite is built and ready at /geo/lot-3-homesite.geojson.
Boundary reconstructed from the validated derrotero (area closes within ~1 cm) and georeferenced to field-captured GPS anchors. For position reference only — confirm against the registered plano.
Terrain
The map above is pitched over real elevation data — you read the land the way it actually sits, ridge and fall, not a flat outline on a plat.
Elevation
Highland air around 700 m: cooler nights, cloud-forest light, and the long view down toward the Costa Ballena.
Coming — lot-level survey
Drone-flown slope, contour and water-flow mapping for this exact parcel is in preparation. Available on request as the highland sites become flyable.

What lives on this land.
Only what is confirmed on this land — the same highland forest, its own water on site, and the birds and butterflies of the ridge.
Banana & plátano
Musa spp.Fruit already established nearby in the same growing band — an easy start for a food forest.
Crested Guan
A large, wary canopy bird — its presence is a sign of healthy, undisturbed forest.
Fiery-billed Araçari
A small, brilliant toucan found only in this corner of Costa Rica and western Panama.
Toucan
Seen working the canopy and forest edge through the day.
White-crowned Parrot
A resident parrot of the highland forest, often heard before it is seen.
Montezuma Oropendola
Its hanging woven nests and liquid, bubbling call are unmistakable.
Gray-cowled Wood-Rail
A ground-dweller of the damp forest floor and stream edges.
Trogons
Trogon (genus)Jewel-toned canopy birds — present and seen, not yet identified to species.
Parrots, parakeets & doves
Resident flocks moving through the canopy and clearings.
Tanagers
Bright mixed-feeding flocks working the forest edge.
Butterflies
A constant presence in the clearings and along the forest margins.
