Why this is not the usual Costa Rica land listing
The price is published
Most Costa Rica land sites make you fill in a form to find out what a lot costs. Ours are on the page, with the price per acre beside them so you can compare parcels instead of guessing.
The developer finances it
No US bank will write a mortgage on a lot in Guanacaste, and Costa Rican banks will not lend to a non resident easily. These parcels are financed in house: a down payment and monthly payments, agreed with the developer.
Titled, with a cadastral plan
Every parcel is titled land registered at the Registro Nacional, with its own plano catastrado. Not a concession, not a right of possession, not a share in a corporation that owns a farm.
Areas we cover
Four of them in Guanacaste, the dry northwest, within about an hour of Liberia international airport. One on the calm inner Gulf of Nicoya, for the buyer who wants the water.

Can an American own land in Costa Rica?
Yes, outright and in your own name, with the same rights as a Costa Rican. There is no restriction on foreign ownership of titled land. The exception is the first 200 metres from the high tide line, the maritime zone, which is leased rather than owned; none of the parcels here are in it.
Do I need to be in Costa Rica to buy?
No. Most of the process can be done with a power of attorney granted to a Costa Rican attorney, though almost everybody wants to walk the land first, and we would rather you did.
What does the whole thing cost beyond the price?
Budget roughly 3.5 to 4 percent of the registered value for transfer tax, stamps and notary fees. The annual property tax is 0.25 percent of the registered value, which on a lot at this price is a small number.
Who pays you?
The developer does, out of their own commission, when a buyer we introduced completes a purchase. You pay the same price you would pay walking in on your own.
Are these lots on the beach?
Most are not, and that is why they cost what they cost. They are inland in Guanacaste, near the Miravalles volcano and the hot springs. The one beach area we list is Playa Blanca at Punta Morales, on the calm inner Gulf of Nicoya, where lots are smaller and priced accordingly.
This is a referral site. The developments belong to their developers; the commission is paid by the developer, not by the buyer.
