At Buy Wild, conservation isn't just part of our business—it’s the foundation. In fact, our conservation efforts began long before we ventured into real estate in Costa Rica. Together with Las Oncas, we're raising funds to acquire strategic lands in the Osa Peninsula, safeguarding critical habitats.
However, we soon realized that we couldn't purchase and protect the entire peninsula on our own. That’s why we partnered with Grow Jungles, a U.S.-based organization specializing in conservation real estate in Costa Rica, to create Buy Wild. When you buy land in Costa Rica with Buy Wild, you're helping complete the puzzle of protected lands in the Osa Peninsula—an area that hosts 3% of the world's biodiversity. You're also fortifying the Buy Wild network, ensuring that large real estate firms with no conservation vision don't overtake the region and sell to buyers who might destroy the fragile ecosystems that make the Osa so extraordinary and unique. By choosing us, you're not only preserving nature but also securing the long-term value of your investment.
A thriving natural environment ensures your property won’t lose value to sprawling developments, like large apartment complexes or hotels, that could spring up nearby. After all, if you're living in the Osa, you want to stay connected to the wild, right?

Yes! If you're purchasing a property, chances are you’ll want to spend time there or perhaps live year-round. You are allowed to build a home, but construction must take place in areas that are already deforested. Fortunately, all properties have designated deforested zones, and you’re free to choose the one that best suits your needs.

Lands fully dedicated to conservation play a crucial role in the ecological balance of the Osa Peninsula. By allowing your property to remain wild, you significantly contribute to preserving the region’s ecosystem. Buy Wild can help connect you with a caretaker who will not only monitor your property to ensure everything is in order but also handle maintenance tasks around the property.

Simply reach out to us! Since we're always scouting for new properties, we have access to additional opportunities that may be available for the right buyer. Share your real estate project with us, and we'll help you find a property that perfectly matches your vision, even beyond our current listings.

Some properties in the Osa Peninsula are already connected to public water, electricity, and internet networks, while others are not—especially those located deeper in the jungle. But don't worry, this is quite common in the area and not a major concern.
For electricity, solar panels offer an independent and eco-friendly solution, making you self-sufficient with renewable energy. Many properties also have natural water sources on-site, allowing you to connect directly for access to some of the purest water imaginable. If your property doesn't have its own water source, water storage systems can easily be installed to collect and store rainwater.
As for internet connectivity, several providers such as Starlink offer reliable satellite internet services to keep you connected, even in remote locations.

At its core, Buy Wild is a conservation initiative, which means we only engage in transactions that align with our environmental vision to protect the Osa Peninsula. Our priority is the conservation of this unique ecosystem, even when faced with lucrative financial offers. Unlike most real estate agents, we don’t simply connect sellers with buyers; we ensure that every transaction benefits the environment as well as both parties involved.
We refrain from making deals that could harm the ecosystem, such as selling land for large residential developments, mass tourism hotel complexes, or extensive agricultural projects. In other words, we don’t sell to the highest bidder but to the right buyer. This commitment drives us to conduct thorough interviews and investigations of potential buyers before proceeding with any property visits.

Yes! This is why we created the Wildlife Monitoring Package. Visit our Conservation page for more informations about the Wildlife Monitoring and research solutions.

The Osa Peninsula is renowned as one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet, with much of its land remaining untouched and pristine, making it truly unique. Buying a property in Costa Rica with a conservation-focused vision helps protect this natural beauty, preserving the area’s appeal and preventing the rise of mass tourism and its associated downsides, such as overcrowding, habitat destruction, and environmental degradation.
By committing to conservation, your property not only gains value due to its rarity but also contributes to the preservation of the Osa's extraordinary natural environment. Additionally, landowners who protect their land can benefit financially through government programs that provide payments for environmental services, further supporting the conservation efforts

As a conservation-driven initiative, Buy Wild is committed to protecting the Osa Peninsula, one of the most biodiverse regions in the world. However, safeguarding just the peninsula is not enough—if it becomes isolated from the surrounding mainland, wildlife movement will be restricted, leading to long-term genetic challenges. To ensure healthy ecosystems and wildlife corridors, Buy Wild operates throughout the entire South Pacific region, including listing properties in areas adjacent to the peninsula that are vital to maintaining connectivity for wildlife.

As a member of the Buy Wild network, you contribute to wildlife monitoring efforts conducted by Las Oncas alongside other Buy Wild owners. This membership grants you access to a private online platform where you can view footage of wildlife captured by camera traps installed on your property. By joining the Buy Wild network, you help collect invaluable data that underscores the importance of protecting the Osa Peninsula to environmental authorities.

Your only responsibility as a Buy Wild buyer is to protect the land you have purchased. Here are some key practices to avoid :

Deforestation: Removing large swaths of trees and vegetation.
‍
Blocking Natural Wildlife Corridors: Avoid creating barriers that disrupt the movement of wildlife. Maintain corridors or passageways for animals to traverse safely.
‍
Overdeveloping the Property: Resist the urge to develop the entire property. Leave areas undeveloped to preserve natural habitats and biodiversity.
‍
Disregarding Water Sources: Avoid building too close to rivers, streams, or wetlands, which can disrupt natural water flow and lead to erosion.
‍
Using Harmful Chemicals: Refrain from using pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals that can leach into the soil and waterways, harming local flora and fauna.
‍
Failing to Plan for Waste Management: Do not overlook proper waste management systems. Use sustainable practices for sewage, garbage, and hazardous waste.
‍
Planting exotic species: Introducing non-native plant species to the Osa Peninsula poses a threat to its delicate ecosystem. It’s essential to prioritize native species that belong to the region. If you're looking for guidance on how to responsibly plant vegetation on your property, Buy Wild can connect you with experts to help you develop a sustainable plan.
‍
Allowing anyone to hunt within your property: Hunting not only endangers the unique biodiversity of the Osa Peninsula, but it is also illegal throughout Costa Rica. Allowing hunting on your property could expose you to significant legal repercussions from the Costa Rican authorities.
‍
Ignoring Local Regulations: Ensure compliance with local laws and regulations concerning land use and environmental protection.
Adhering to these guidelines is crucial for the conservation of the Osa Peninsula. Therefore, we kindly request that our buyers grant us access to the property for an audit five and ten years after the purchase. This will help us ensure compliance with sustainable environmental practices.
