The parcel

A 3,593 m² parcel in the same La Alfombra highland cluster as Indian Rock and Lot 3 — mountain land above the Pacific in Pérez Zeledón, with public-road frontage.

Its boundary here is reconstructed from the registered survey plano and georeferenced to field-captured GPS corners — listing-grade, for reference only. The plano catastrado remains the legal document.

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 boundary for Free Bird · Lot 2 is built and ready.

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.

Living land

What lives on this land.

The same highland forest as the neighbouring parcels — its birds and butterflies photographed across this land.

Registered water concession

Registered water concession. A registered 3-meter right-of-way (servidumbre) leads to the quebrada, which traces the neighboring boundary along the protected mother farm.

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.

Tinamaste feria

10 min

The weekly farmers market — about ten minutes out on dirt roads — the supply and social heart of the highlands.

Recorded on the land

46 bird species, and counting.

Recorded on this land by ear and eye across the seasons — owls after dark, antbirds in the understory, oropendolas overhead. The photographs above are the subset caught on camera; the full record runs longer.

Crested Guan

Penelope purpurascens

Large, slow-breeding, and hunted out of most accessible forest in Costa Rica — finding it here is a real indicator of intact habitat.

Gray-cowled Wood-Rail

Aramides cajaneus

A bird that wants water. Where it lives, water is close — quiet corroboration of what this land carries.
