This listing presents a rare and promising opportunity. The lots are located on Playa Langostino Beach, just 20 minutes from the renowned surf breaks of Playa Pavones to the south and Playa Zancudo to the north.
What is for sale is a newly established corporation, formed only one year ago, which holds possession rights to a lot within the maritime zone along Costa Rica’s southern coast. These rights have been officially registered with the local municipality, confirming the corporation as the sole possessor of this land.
The property spans approximately 715 m². On the eastern border lies a pristine estuary and mangrove ecosystem, showcasing Costa Rica’s rich natural beauty. Because this land is situated between the beach and the mangrove, it is protected under Costa Rica’s environmental regulations managed by MINAE (the Ministry of Environment and Energy).
Currently, the land can only be used for lightweight, non-permanent structures, such as a container home or a mobile home that can be relocated without fixed foundations. Seller had experience building such structures in other areas of Costa Rica and can share concept designs with interested buyers.
There is also a submitted environmental project plan, designed by the corporation’s environmental engineer, to develop an eco-friendly, sustainable structure on the site. Although the current use is limited, the plan aims to allow more permanent and environmentally compliant structures in the future, pending approval.
At present, the Golfito municipality has not yet adopted a local “Plan Regulador” (regulatory master plan) for this maritime zone, and consequently, no concession rights can be granted for land development at this time. However, the municipality is actively working on this plan, which presents a significant land banking opportunity. While bureaucratic processes in Costa Rica can be slow, the potential for future development makes this a promising long-term investment. Until then, the land remains usable and valuable as a private retreat.
To the north, Playa Zancudo shares the same regulatory status, with developed lots featuring hotels and resorts that sell for ten times the price of these undeveloped parcels. This contrast highlights the undiscovered potential and the ongoing opportunity for growth and development in the area.
Investment options include:
Option 1: Purchase the lot as-is for only $35,000, securing your piece of paradise now.
Option 2: Enter into a contract to acquire the corporation and the possession rights, contingent upon receiving MINAE approval for the environmental project, for $50,000.
Option 3: Acquire the adjacent lot of 609 m2, also held by a different corporation registered only a year ago, with similar possession rights, in its current state for package deal of $50,000 for both lots (best deal)
Option 5: Both lots can be acquired with MINAE approval for environmental compliance for $50,000 each.
The lots are meticulously maintained by a professional gardener who tends to the property every 15 days, ensuring pristine condition at all times.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure land in an unspoiled, emerging Costa Rican coastal area with tremendous growth potential. Few deals in the country match this combination of location, environmental significance, and future prospects.
