About this property

This large and strategically located lot, suitable for both residential or commercial developments, is currently one of the most sought-after properties in Uvita – a rapidly growing town in the world-famous Bahia Ballena region. With a rapidly increasing influx of tourists, expats, and business minded entrepreneurs, Uvita has developed into a fully serviced town and became one of Costa Rica’s most attractive locations for settling down or building a new business.

The commercial appeal of this lot cannot be overstated – located only ~400m from Uvita and Chaman Beach, the 5,000 square meter area is completely flat (meaning 100% usable) and fully titled.

Due to its location within the town serving the world-famous tourist center of Bahia Ballena, the commercial opportunities are diverse: the land can accommodate a hotel or boutique accommodation, a yoga or gym or sports studio, a café/restaurant, a tourist office, or a commercial strip, amongst others – you are only limited by your imagination! As there isn’t a higher standard or quality of land available anywhere nearby, and with such close proximity to the town of Uvita and the unspoiled beaches of the Pacific Ocean, high rent is guaranteed – regardless of what type of development is realized!

Many newcomers who constantly flock to the area often wish to settle down close to amenities and within a quick walk to the beach – this plot presents a perfect location to cater to these expats, allowing for the development of a condominium or an estate of independent single-family houses – perhaps 4vacation homes, home offices for expats, or a retirement village? In fact, the current owner planned to construct a high standard 36 room hotel with a tennis court, a playground for children, 2 large swimming pools, a restaurant and a spacious car park. For those who are interested in computer images and design, these can be provided by the seller.

The constant sound of the nearby ocean waves creates an ever-present relaxing atmosphere– and while amenities are close, the nearby jungle covered mountains provide a natural backdrop and animals such as Toucans, Macaws, Monkeys, and gorgeous Blue Morpho butterflies are frequently seen or heard.

If this sounds too good to let go and you wish to make this piece of land home, the lot is perfect for the development of a large family compound and could accommodate a main house as well as guest/caretaker accommodation, not to mention a large pool, sport facilities, or a large tropical garden. And remember – a dip in the ocean or a year-round beach sunset is only a 5-minute walk away!

Electricity, legal water, and fiber-optic high-speed internet connections are available and waiting at the property line.
Due to the unlimited potential of this plot, the perfect location, the large size, accessibility, and the ease of utilities connection, the offered price is extremely attractive for any future investor with a vision (or a new resident)!
