40 properties currently listed in Ojochal. Asking prices run from $167,000 to $589,500, with a median of $325,000. That is about $4,641 per m². Most are Lots / Land (22).
Ojochal is a beach town in Osa, Puntarenas, on Costa Rica's southern Pacific coast. It is part of the Costa Ballena area and is known for a quieter residential feel, with a mix of international buyers, second-home owners, and people looking for land near the coast rather than a dense resort setting. The drive from San José airport varies by route and traffic.
Ojochal is a smaller, quieter market than neighbouring Uvita and Dominical. The live table below uses Ojochal's own listings. Compare houses and lots separately: the all-property median in the page header combines both with other types.
Lots are a meaningful part of what Ojochal offers. Before setting a build budget, check the water letter, road access and slope. Long-term rental listings can be scarce, so do not infer rental yield from a thin asking-price sample.
What to check before buying in Ojochal. Ask for the water letter before anything else on a lot, since without it there is no building permit. Inspect the access road in the wet season and the Maritime Zone position for anything near the beach. Have your attorney reconcile the Registro Nacional record with the cadastral plan. Read the vacant-land guide before leaving a lot empty for years.
Ojochal suits a buyer who wants a quiet residential coast, a lot to build on or a house, and does not need an airport close by. A buyer who wants a surf town or a busier centre can compare Dominical and Uvita.

Buying property in Ojochal: common questions
For international buyers
How much does a house cost in Uvita?
See that town's own live Prices at a glance table. Each Costa Ballena page uses its own listing scope, so compare the same property type across pages.
How much does property cost in Dominical?
See that town's own live Prices at a glance table. Each Costa Ballena page uses its own listing scope, so compare the same property type across pages.
How much does property cost in Ojochal?
The live Prices at a glance table on this page separates current house, condo, land and commercial asking prices. The header's all-property median combines those types.
How far is the Costa Ballena from San José airport?
Allow about 3.5 to 5 hours by road from San José, depending on the route and traffic.
Can a foreigner buy property in Uvita, Dominical or Ojochal?
Yes. Foreign buyers have the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens over titled (fee-simple) property, with no residency requirement. Beachfront inside the Maritime Zone is concession land, and a foreigner with under five years' residency cannot be granted a concession.
Can I rent before I buy on the Costa Ballena?
Long-term asking rents, where the priced sample is large enough, appear beneath Prices at a glance. They are not evidence of holiday-rental occupancy or net income; ask a local manager for those figures.
