There are expansive and extensive usable building areas, an internal road with gravel surfacing, drainage and engineered building platforms in place. The land area is unusually "usable" (most mtn side property has a fair bit of unusable space), with there being two engineered building pads and a rather large section of cleared, rolling hills that gently slope westward towards the ocean. Also, the site is flanked by forest the bottom and sits among other very well valued properties and estates. Formally being pasture, the property presents no environmental obstacles yet there are some beautiful and mature native trees which support the landscape. The views are simply stunning; the features include year round sunsets (the sunset moves here 20 degrees along the horizon throughout the year), the iconic Dominical Point and fishing boat moorings, rocky whitewater coast line, approx 20 miles of palm lined coast and the Manuel Antonio national park headlands in the distance. The Dominical area is quickly growing in popularity due to its stunning beauty, pristine coastline, laid back lifestyle and ease of access.

2.75 ACRES - 5 Bedroom Home Plus 1 Bedroom Guest House, Huge Pool, Amazing Ocean View, Room For Expa!!




This is a rare opportunity to own one of the best properties in Southern Costa Rica! This 2.75 acre ridge is located at the top of Lagunas and has 360 degree views of the mountains and the ocean. When you look to the east you see Chirripo Mountain and the biggest mountians in Costa Rica. When you look to the west you see waves breaking along the coast, all year sunsets and Manuel Antonio!! It is a 10 min drive to the beach, 5 min on a well maintained gravel road and 5 min on a paved road.

The real value here is the land. This parcel is worth the asking price with nothing on it yet it has many improvements. The 5 bedroom home was built in 1984 and has plenty of charm. The owner lives there now and has blueprints for a complete renovation including a second story. It has 1 full bathroom and one half bathroom, a spacious living room, kitchen and dining room, and patio. The best part of this property is the pool and rancho!!! The pool and deck are 2000 sq ft and it has an olympic swimming lane with infinity edge!!! The 1500 sq ft rancho is great for entertaining. It has a full bathroom, a huge bar and room to throw a party. There is also a projection screen set up behind the bar and a drop down screen for viewming movies and sports!! The second floor of the rancho has a guest suite. The property also has a 1200 sq ft garage and bodega aka tool shed.

There are 2 entrances off of the road to this 220 meter long ridge, one at each end. This property is perfect for development. If someone were to take down the house there would be room for anywhere from 6 to 10 condos along this ridge all with amazing ocean views. You could keep the pool for a common area. The other option would be for someone just to turn this into a family compound. You could live in the existing home while you build your dream home and then you would still have tons of room for more homes for the family and friends.

The property also has a greenhouse, over 25 varieties of mature fruit trees, and very mature tropical landscaping that money can't buy! If you are serious about buying property in Costa Rica, and you want the best, than you need to see this!!!!

The Price Was Just Reduced On This Brand New 3 Bedroom Home In Lagunas!!! Now Only $329,000!!!!



This brand new 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom home is located in Lagunas on 1.25 acres with great mountain views. The home is very well built and has many unique details that you do not see in most homes. The property is a 10 min drive to Dominical and the beach, 5 min on a paved road and 5 min on a very well maintained gravel road. The community of Lagunas is a very safe place to live and is known for it's excellent water system and excellent roads. There are many high end homes in the community.

The main floor of the home has a grand front entrance and the minute you walk into the home you can see straight through the living room and out to the view. There is guest bedroom and full bathroom. The master bedroom is also on this floor and has an on suite bathroom with raised double sinks and a double shower. The master bedroom also has it's own outdoor patio with access to an outdoor shower. The rest of the main floor is the "grand room" which includes the open concept kitchen and living room. The peak of the ceiling is 15 ft high and it gives this space a very open feel not to mention the oversized windows that bring the outside in! The large sliding glass doors open up to a beautiful deck perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing. The kitchen is appointed with high end stainless steel appliances.

There is an outside covered staircase that runs down one side of the house which brings you to the lower level. There you will find another outdoor patio with ample space for outdoor living. This is also where the 3rd bedroom and bathroom are located. The bedroom has sliding glass doors that open up to the patio and the view. The bathroom can be accessed directly from the bedroom or from the patio. The house was designed as such so that if someone decides to add a swimming pool some day, this bathroom can be used from outside. The laundry room is also on this floor. It is very large and set up to be dehumidified. There is plenty of room for storage.

The owners put a lot of thought into building an eco friendly home. The home comes with a solar hot water heater and the home is also wired for solar panels. They can easily be installed and tied into the grid or you could be completely off the grid with batteries. The appliances are all energy efficient and the master bedroom AC uses inverter technology which uses half of the electricity of a normal AC unit. The home is also set up where someone can easily capture the rainwater off of the roof and use that for gardening. The owners also paid to have 80 native hardwood trees planted on a reforestation project nearby to offset all of the wood that was used in the ceiling and the cabinets.

The property is gently sloped and there is plenty of usable land for a pool and for future construction including guest house, cabinas, caretaker house, etc. There are also several fruit trees including bananas, mangos, starfruit, and oranges. Most of the trees on the property were planted 30 years ago as part of a forestry project. They can be left alone or they can be harvested for future construction on the property if one wishes. The property has a nice private feel.

This home is an excellent option in todays market. It was built with a lot of care and will make it's next owners very happy!!!!

*The home is almost finished but still needs a few finishing touches as you can see in the photos....appliances coming soon
