Can foreigners buy land in Costa Rica?
Yes. Outside the coastal concession zone, foreigners can own titled land in their own name, with the same rights as citizens. No residency is required to buy.
Can I buy without traveling?
Many buyers start with a live video walk of the lot. Signing can often be done by power of attorney; your lawyer will confirm what applies to you.
What are the taxes and closing costs?
As a general guide: transfer tax of 1.5% of the registered value plus registry stamps and notary fees, typically around 3–4% of the price in total, and an annual municipal property tax of 0.25% of the registered value. Closing costs and taxes are estimates based on current Costa Rican law and may change. They do not include taxes in your home country. Consult a tax advisor.
Is there water?
A water availability letter is being requested from the local provider. Ask us for the current status of the lot you like, in writing, before you reserve.
Is there electricity?
Electricity availability is being confirmed with the local provider. Service connections, meters and their costs are the buyer's responsibility unless the purchase agreement says otherwise.
Can I build a home on any lot?
Internal roads are agricultural easements. Residential building permits are subject to approval by the Municipality of Carrillo and other authorities, and are not guaranteed by the seller. Confirm buildability with your own lawyer and architect before you buy.
What about the creek?
Sector A runs along the Quebrada Lapa. Lots bordering it include a legally protected strip (Forestry Law 7575, art. 33) where no building or tree cutting is allowed. A licensed surveyor is determining its width; the buildable area of each lot will be shown on its cadastral plan.
Are all lots half a hectare?
Most lots are half-hectare (about 1.24 acres). Sector D also includes smaller lots. Sectors C and D: price on request.
Are there amenities, like a clubhouse, pool or security?
None are offered at this time. No shared amenities are built or committed. What you buy is the land.
Are there monthly fees or building rules?
Not yet defined. We will publish them here once they are.
Is financing available?
Ask us. We will tell you what is available, if anything, for your lot.
Can I visit the lots?
Yes. Write to us on WhatsApp at +506 8980 1919 to set a day, and we will walk the land with you. If you cannot travel, we can walk the lot with you on a live video call.
Are there schools nearby?
Not measured yet. There are schools in the towns of the area, but we have not measured drive times to any specific school. Ask us and we will tell you what we know.
What is the internet like?
Not measured yet. We have not run a speed test on the lots, and we do not know yet which providers reach each one. Ask us for the current status before you decide.
Can I resell my lot later?
Yes, titled land can generally be sold again, subject to the terms of your purchase contract. Inland land can take longer to resell than beachfront property. We do not promise any increase in value; past prices do not predict future value.
Can I buy through a Costa Rican corporation?
In general, yes: land in Costa Rica can be held in a person's own name or through a company. Each option has different costs, duties and effects, for example on residency. Your own lawyer will tell you which fits you.
Is my deposit held in escrow?
How the deposit is held is set in your written reservation agreement, which we confirm before you pay anything. We recommend that your deposit and payments go through escrow, and that your lawyer reviews the agreement first.
How do I reserve a lot?
Tell us which lot you like on WhatsApp at +506 8980 1919. We confirm its status and price, and send you a written reservation agreement. The price that applies is the one in that signed agreement.
What happens if the lot I like is sold?
Lots are sold in order of signed reservation, so a lot shown as available may already be reserved. If it is taken, we will tell you right away and show you similar lots that are still available.
Who answers my questions?
A person from the family behind the project answers on WhatsApp at +506 8980 1919. The seller's legal name and corporate ID are being confirmed and will be posted on the About page before any reservation is signed.
Can I combine owner financing with a loan from my home country?
Owner financing available — ask for terms. Terms subject to approval and contract. Down payment, term and interest rate are agreed case by case, in writing. Whether you can combine them with a loan or credit line from home depends on your own lender; ask them and your lawyer.
Walk the land
