FIRE SALE Breathtaking Pacific Ocean Views with Resort-Style Living and Development Potential

Property overview

A 136-acre hillside property in Puerto Cortes with unobstructed Pacific Ocean views and a landscape that runs through lush rainforest, natural streams, and several naturally occurring waterfalls. Multiple established building sites are spread across flat, usable expanses of the land, making it well-suited for a phased residential or resort-style development. A D-1 Entitlement was submitted in 2017, which allows for the creation of over 100 subdivided residential and mixed-use units — a development framework that reduces a significant portion of the pre-work for a serious buyer.

Water is abundant and self-sustaining: natural springs and year-round creeks flow through the land, providing a reliable and renewable supply well-suited for eco-focused or off-grid development concepts. The property borders a public road and benefits from a recently paved access road leading directly to the site, a practical infrastructure upgrade that increases the property's value and reduces development lead time. The land's flat zones allow building sites to be prepared with minimal earthwork.

At 6.2 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the location is secluded without being remote. Ciudad Cortes Hospital is just minutes away, which supports medical retreat or wellness-focused development concepts. The San Buenas Golf Course is a 20-minute drive, and Palmar Sur Domestic Airport — with connections to San Jose — is also 20 minutes out by car, making the site accessible for international visitors and property owners. For developers evaluating large-scale land with existing entitlement groundwork, functioning water sources, and highway-adjacent access in the southern Pacific zone, this property warrants a close look.
