Lot for sale in Tárcoles, Garabito, Costa Rica

This expansive development land in Tárcoles offers a unique opportunity on the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Spanning 162 acres (65.4 hectares), the property boasts ocean views and is conveniently located just a two-minute drive from the entrance of the renowned Carara National Park. The land is bordered by two public roads, including 77 meters of direct frontage on the Pacific Coast Highway (Ruta 34) and additional access via Calle La Barca, which is known for its birdwatching lodges.

The existing master plan outlines the potential for 167 lots, with 73 confirmed to have ocean views. With updated planning, this could expand to 300-400 lots. A gravel internal road network, established between 2009 and 2011, is recoverable with minor work, although the property will need re-clearing of secondary growth. Two registered deep wells are on-site, producing a combined 9 liters per second, which has been approved for use, supporting the water needs for up to 400 lots. A main water distribution line is already installed along the primary internal road but is not yet connected to the wells.

Additionally, there are four existing homes on the property, which present immediate resale or rental potential, estimated at over $1.1 million after minor renovations. Historical exemptions for sewer treatment have been previously obtained, and while all permits and water concessions have expired, they can be renewed. The property is located just 9 minutes from the nearest beach, 20 minutes from Los Sueños Marina and Marriott, and approximately 45 minutes from San José via the Caldera Highway. An international airport is planned in Orotina, only 18 km away.

This land presents a significant investment opportunity with strong potential for appreciation and phased development profits in one of Costa Rica’s rapidly growing coastal areas. It is surrounded by the natural beauty of Carara National Park and the famous Tárcoles crocodile river, making it a prime location for eco-tourism. The title is clean, and private tours of the property are available.
