A quiet Platanillo homesite with a private building pad and space for a new beginning
This land for sale in Platanillo offers 1,403 m² of usable terrain in one of the most convenient mountain communities between the beach and the city. The property includes an old, rustic Costa Rican house located on one corner of the lot. The structure is worn and no longer adds value, yet it provides flexibility for renovation, storage, or eventual replacement.
The true highlight is the beautiful and private building pad set apart from the old house. This area feels protected, quiet, and naturally framed by greenery, creating a perfect spot for a new residence or rental unit. The separation between the existing structure and the primary homesite gives the property versatility for phased construction or multi-use planning.
The land’s gentle topography makes development simple. Access is easy, and daily life in Platanillo remains relaxed and practical, with fresh mountain air and close access to both Dominical and San Isidro. This location is ideal for anyone looking to build a home, invest in a small project, or blend local charm with new construction.
