0.35 Acres — Platanillo Hidden Homesite with Private Building Pad

Property overview

This 1,403 m² (0.35-acre) parcel in Platanillo offers usable terrain in one of the most well-positioned mountain communities between the beach and the city. The property includes an old, rustic Costa Rican house situated on one corner of the lot. The structure is worn and no longer adds significant value, but it offers flexibility for renovation, storage, or eventual replacement.

The real draw is the beautiful and private building pad set apart from the old house. This area feels protected, quiet, and naturally framed by greenery — a perfect setting for a new residence or rental unit. The separation between the existing structure and the primary homesite creates genuine versatility for phased construction or multi-use planning.

The land's gentle topography keeps development straightforward. Access is easy, and daily life in Platanillo is relaxed and practical, with fresh mountain air and convenient access to both Dominical and San Isidro.

Platanillo is a beloved mountain community known for its cooler temperatures, welcoming atmosphere, and central location. Sitting between San Isidro and Dominical, residents enjoy the best of both worlds — surf and beaches within minutes, and full city services just a drive away. The area is appreciated for its sense of community, safety, organic markets, rivers, waterfalls, and easy access to nature.

Distances by car: Dominical Beach – 15 minutes · San Isidro de El General – 35 minutes · Nauyaca Waterfalls – 35 minutes · Uvita – 35 minutes · Route 243 – 2 minutes

A rare blend of affordability, privacy, and building potential in a growing area. With a secluded construction site and the option to renovate or replace the existing house, this property gives a buyer room to design a project that aligns with their own vision and lifestyle in the Southern Zone.
