Hidden Gem in Platanillo

Property overview

Platanillo sits at 2,855 feet above sea level, about halfway between Dominical on the Pacific coast and Pérez Zeledón inland — 20 minutes from a beach, with temperatures that stay meaningfully cooler and more consistent than the coast. It's the kind of location that suits people who want proximity to the water without the heat, and genuine access to both coast and city without committing to either. This property puts 7,427 square meters (1.85 acres) to excellent use. The main home is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom with a large terrace that connects directly to a wooden cabina, which functions as a fully independent guest suite or Airbnb unit. The cabina has its own kitchen, terrace, and a sliding door providing privacy, along with a separate entrance for full independence. A secondary building serves as a dry room and garage — it operated as an art studio and laundry previously. The newly built pool is a strong addition to the property. An electric gate secures the entrance. About two-thirds of the land is kept as dense jungle with a small creek running along the bottom, maintaining a natural habitat that brings daily wildlife visitors. Fruit trees planted over recent years supplement older, already-producing trees around the property. The home comes furnished with fiber optic internet included. Access is easy, and the land can be subdivided if a future owner wants to develop additional units or a small project. For buyers looking at privacy, nature, and income potential in a single package, this property is worth serious consideration.
