Property overview

# 2.53-Acre Build-Ready Estate in Fila Cacao Ridge – Platanillo, Costa Rica

**$165,000 USD**

Securing a fully permitted, infrastructure-complete property in Platanillo has become exceedingly rare, making this 2.53-acre parcel in the prestigious Fila Cacao Ridge community a compelling acquisition for discerning developers and owner-builders alike.

The land encompasses two expansive, level building sites seamlessly connected by an established internal road with functional drainage—eliminating months of costly preparation typically required for raw Costa Rican acreage. Legal ASADA water rights are already registered to the property, electricity infrastructure reaches the boundary line, and public road frontage opens possibilities ranging from a private mountain sanctuary to boutique eco-lodges, wellness retreats, or vacation rental operations.

Perched at 1,100 feet elevation, the property captures the elevated microclimate Platanillo is known for: consistent cool temperatures, natural air circulation, reduced humidity, and sweeping vistas across mountain ridges and valleys. The strategic location delivers the best of both worlds—nestled within a gated community offering fiber optic internet and year-round accessibility without high-clearance vehicles, yet positioned just seven minutes from Platanillo's services and a brief 20-minute drive to Dominical's renowned beaches and world-class surf breaks.

The lower boundary traces a picturesque forest trail that connects neighboring estates while preserving seclusion. An adjacent Permanent Forest designation provides perpetual environmental stewardship, ensuring the property's natural surroundings remain protected indefinitely.

A scenic forest trail borders the lower portion of the property, connecting neighboring parcels and offering a peaceful place to enjoy the surrounding nature. The adjacent lower forest is designated as Permanent Forest, ensuring long-term environmental protection while preserving the beauty and privacy of the area.

Buyers seeking expanded opportunity may acquire an adjoining 0.38-acre parcel exclusively with this main property, creating a combined 2.91-acre estate valued at $255,000 USD ($60,000 for the additional lot). This expanded footprint accommodates guest accommodations, rental villas, caretaker quarters, or enhanced privacy buffers.

Complete due diligence documentation accompanies the sale, streamlining both the acquisition and development approval process. Build-ready infrastructure, legal water access, mountain views, public road frontage, and dual building sites represent an increasingly elusive combination in Costa Rica's Southern Pacific region. This is your opportunity to claim an exceptional foundation in Fila Cacao Ridge.
