About this property
This property in Playa Ballena is a promising opportunity for a real estate developer. Located directly on the Costanera highway, it consists of two titled parcels of land on the beachside and one on the mountainside, totaling 16.5 acres (6.6 hectares). Its proximity to downtown Uvita enhances its economic viability. The lush rainforest surroundings provide a pleasant environment for guests and visitors, while the site offers ocean views of the islands within the Marine Park. Designed by Gentler Architects, a globally recognized firm known for sustainable design, this property is a notable example of quality construction. Originally envisioned as a Spa Community that honors Costa Rican culture, the project was a collaboration between Gentler Architects and Bernard Judge, who is known for exceptional design concepts. The site is part of the Marino Ballena Nacional Park, the only marine park in Costa Rica and the largest breeding ground for humpback whales in the Pacific. The existing Makara Playa hotel consists of twelve fully permitted suites across four buildings, with flexible architectural plans. The first building has been operational for three years as a five-suite hotel, constructed with 70% recycled cement and sustainable local wood, emphasizing environmental friendliness. Additionally, the property includes an office, a security guard/manager apartment, and facilities for housekeeping staff, making it a ready-to-use luxury hotel. The other three buildings are construction-ready, pending permit reapplication. The property also features a septic tank and plans for a treatment plant as development progresses, utilizing a private concession and approved well from the adjacent property. This property can be acquired as a small hotel with additional land or as a development site, offering maximum utility for the buyer.
