Land near the beach Costa Rica for development

This extraordinary 25-hectare development in Marbella, Guanacaste, offers one of the few current opportunities to acquire land already subdivided into 34 residential lots, each with a guaranteed ocean view. From the higher portions of the property, the views open up into a 360° panorama combining the Pacific Ocean with the Santa Cruz mountains — an uncommon topographical feature for developments of this scale in the region.

In addition to the already-subdivided lots, the property includes an 11.5-hectare forest reserve located at the front of the development, with direct frontage on a public street classified as a local road. This reserve retains significant potential for additional development, either as a complete unit or subdivided, subject to current urban planning regulations.

Development Potential

The street-front forest reserve opens the door to multiple development concepts, including:

Condominiums or multifamily projects
Additional residential expansion
Hospitality or mixed-use projects
Commercial uses fronting the street, where regulations permit

This flexibility makes the property an attractive asset both for developers seeking a larger-scale project and for investors who prefer to acquire individual lots within an already-established subdivision.

Water Infrastructure: MA-85 Deep Well

One of this development's biggest advantages is having its own water source already drilled and tested:

Total drilling depth: 136 meters
Constant-rate pumping test: 24 continuous hours at 2.80 liters/second
Static water level: 9.00 m
Final dynamic level: 14.46 m
Total drawdown: 5.46 m
Recovery: approximately 91.4% in 20 minutes
Final drilling report recommendation: operation at 2.8 L/s for 18 hours/day, including recovery time
Water concession status: in process; the legal and administrative process is currently underway

Having a well already drilled and tested — rather than relying solely on ASADA availability — represents a significant advantage in accelerating the project's development timeline.

World-Class Surf: Playa Frijolar

Playa Frijolar, in Marbella, is locally considered one of the best barrel waves in all of Guanacaste. According to the owner's experience, it is also one of Costa Rica's most consistent breaks, producing surfable waves even when nearby beaches are flat.

For approximately six months of the year, seasonal offshore winds can create exceptionally clean, well-formed conditions. Other well-known breaks are also located near the development, such as Playa Cóncavas and Playa Coco.

Offshore and Inshore Fishing in San Juanillo

A short distance away, the town of San Juanillo offers exceptional inshore and offshore fishing. According to local operators, the area is a true well-kept secret of the Guanacaste coast, with an especially short distance to offshore fishing grounds.

Offshore fishing: marlin, sailfish, yellowfin tuna, and mahi-mahi
Inshore fishing: roosterfish, cubera snapper, grouper, jacks, and amberjack

Location and Access

Approximately 900 meters from the beach in a straight line; 30 to 35 minutes by road to Nosara and Playa Guiones due to the area's topography
89 km from Guanacaste International Airport (LIR), approximately 1.5 hours by car
Accessible via Route 160, the regional coastal corridor, which has been paved and improved along several stretches thanks to public investment (conditions may vary by section)
Strategic location: close to already-established tourist infrastructure in the region, while retaining the authentic, less-developed character that sets Marbella apart from other areas of Guanacaste
