# 3-Bedroom Container Home + Building Lot | Platanillo, Costa Rica
Nestled in the cooler mountain elevations of Platanillo—a serene community that has emerged as a favored alternative to busier coastal towns while maintaining proximity to pristine beaches—this newly constructed container residence presents a rare combination of modern design, practical amenities, and genuine expansion potential.
## The Home
Built with contemporary finishes and ceramic tile throughout, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence delivers both comfort and functionality. The third bedroom features its own dedicated entrance, transforming it into an ideal office, studio, or revenue-generating rental space. Crisp new paint, freshly installed AC units, new ceiling fans, and a recently replaced roof ensure move-in readiness. Fiber optic internet connectivity and reliable ICE electricity support modern work-from-home lifestyles, while AYA city water supplies daily needs—backed by a substantial 1,100-liter tank to sustain the property through drier months.
The surrounding landscape rewards outdoor enthusiasts: a river and cascading waterfalls lie within easy walking distance, inviting exploration and recreation. The fully fenced yard incorporates mature fruit trees and thoughtfully selected plantings, providing both privacy and pastoral charm. A gated entrance and parking for up to five vehicles complete the grounds.
## Expansion Potential
Beyond the main residence sits an expansive additional building lot with independent site access. This blank canvas invites unlimited development: construct guest casitas for hospitality income, add a resort-style pool and rancho, establish horticultural gardens, or build a second residence. The possibilities align perfectly with both personal vision and investment strategy.
## Location & Access
Platanillo's elevated position delivers cooler temperatures while Dominical's renowned beaches and surf culture sit merely 15 minutes away. Walking distance to local shops and dining places the town center within arm's reach. Nauyaca Waterfalls—a celebrated regional destination—requires just 7 minutes by car. San Isidro de El General and Uvita extend services within 30 minutes, while Manuel Antonio National Park awaits at the one-hour mark.
Accessible via standard public road and navigable by 2-wheel drive vehicles, the property benefits from convenient bus service in both directions. The neighborhood combines safety, friendly residents, and genuine community character.
This compelling opportunity merits immediate viewing.
