Description
Located in Platanillo, one of the most appealing areas between the mountains of Pérez Zeledón and Costa Rica’s South Pacific coast, this unique property combines natural beauty, convenient access, generous acreage, and excellent residential and rental potential.
The property encompasses 14,740 m² (approximately 3.64 acres) and borders Route 243, providing easy year-round access. Its strategic location places it approximately 10 minutes from Dominical and its beaches and about 40 minutes from San Isidro de El General, where a wide selection of shops, medical facilities, restaurants, and essential services can be found.
At an elevation of approximately 280 meters (920 feet) above sea level, the property enjoys a pleasant tropical setting between the coast and the mountains. It is also conveniently located near the Dominical Eco Market and the popular Tinamastes market, both known for fresh produce, artisan products, local food, and a welcoming community atmosphere.
The main residence is a charming 155 m² (approximately 1,668 sq. ft.) wooden home built in 2010. Its warm, natural architecture gives the home a distinctive personality that blends beautifully with the surrounding landscape.
The property also includes a separate 40 m² (approximately 430 sq. ft.) wooden guest house built in 2019, as well as a swimming pool and a covered rancho—ideal for relaxing, entertaining guests, or enjoying Costa Rica’s tropical lifestyle.
The two independent homes provide several possibilities. The property could serve as a private family residence, allow the new owner to live in one home while renting the other, provide comfortable accommodations for guests, or support a vacation or long-term rental operation.
One of the property’s greatest advantages is a second, nearly independent and mostly level section of land with frontage along Route 243. This area offers exciting potential for additional rental cottages, expanded accommodations, or a commercial project, subject to the corresponding permits and local regulations.
The grounds are enhanced by mature tropical vegetation and a wide variety of fruit trees, including mango, orange, lemon, coconut, banana, plantain, rambutan, and other productive species.
The property also benefits from legal water service provided by AyA, an important asset for residential use and any potential future development.
The homes are offered unfurnished, giving the new owner the freedom to decorate, furnish, and personalize each space according to their own style and vision.
More than a conventional property, this is a place with genuine character—from the warmth of its wooden homes to the size, natural setting, and versatility of its land. With easy access, proximity to the beach, two existing residences, and multiple possibilities for living, renting, or developing, this is a compelling opportunity in one of Costa Rica’s most desirable South Pacific locations.
