Jaw-Dropping Ocean and Mountain
Views in Costa Rica …Starting at $65,000
For as little as $65,000, you can purchase a home site,
nearly half an acre in size, with superb mountain views…or a lot
with both mountain and ocean views starting at $100,000.
Dear Pathfinder Reader,
I have found a secluded little spot on the Southern Coast of Costa Rica, where emerald-green hillsides slope down to deserted beaches…where cloud-ringed mountains tower behind me…and the afternoon sun glimmering through the lush vegetation creates a magical show of light and shadow…
It's like a scene from a Chinese watercolor.
This is tranquility at its best... So close to nature... With the most amazing panoramic views I've seen anywhere.
This is Pacific Lots--14,000 acres of hillside meadows, lush rainforests, and home sites on a mountain ridge along Costa Rica's southern coast--and the setting is truly breathtaking.
What will really take your breath away, though, is how extremely affordable these majestic views are at Pacific Lots.
For as little as $65,000, you can purchase a home site, nearly half an acre in size, with superb mountain views…or a lot with both mountain and ocean views starting at $100,000.
Pacific Lots also offers top-quality custom homebuilding for only $85 per square-foot…meaning you could build a 2,000-square-foot dream home for $170,000…on a lot with a to-die-for mountain view… for $235,000 in total.
No question about it, that's an excellent purchase anywhere along the Pacific Coast. But even better, you're getting a foothold in Costa Rica's hottest real estate market right now.
Pacific Lots is located near the town of Ojochal in the heart of the country's Southern Zone. If you've been following these alerts, you already know how this area is poised for significant growth.
For now, getting here can be a bit rough…bouncing along an unpaved stretch of the coastal highway…or flying into one of the small, local airports. The closest one, in Palmar Sur, is a one-woman show--she issues the tickets, checks baggage, and answers queries (in Spanish), while you sit on a wooden bench overlooking the small airstrip, alongside your co-passengers…all eleven of them. No duty-free or airport food here.
But there's an infrastructure story taking place here that is about to open up the door to the Southern Zone in a big way…
A new international airport is under construction just 30 minutes away from Pacific Lots…
The gravel section of the coastal highway that has effectively acted as a buffer between the Southern Zone and the north is now being paved…
And the nearby Hospital De Osa is scheduled to open in 2008, providing first-rate health care services to the area.
The removal of these last remaining access barriers to the Southern Zone is re-invigorating Costa Rica's real estate market with fast-moving value buys…and huge upside potential.
If you wait to buy here, the early in deals will be gone. Its inevitable that values will rise dramatically once the infrastructure opens this coastline up.
Since there are no requirements to build immediately when you purchase here, Pacific Lots makes good sense as an investment, too. You can buy-in low now, then sit back and watch your investment appreciate in value as demand drives up property prices in the Southern Zone.
Don't think for a moment, though, that your early-in opportunity in this still-emerging area of Costa Rica means you'll be roughing it.
Pacific Lots is a mature development, with several homes already existing, and it's fully serviced with roads, water, electricity, satellite TV, Internet, and a modern communications system.
What really appealed to me when I was there, were the tiny restaurants in the nearby village of Ojochal--Swiss, French, German, American, Italian…the bakery owned by a French expat where you can buy bread fresh from the oven each morning…a cozy eatery serving wood-fired pizzas…a deli in town stocking imported cheeses, wines, and other culinary treats…
It felt quite cosmopolitan for such an out of the way place.
The benefits of owning at Pacific Lots aren't just about domestic comfort and amenities, however. If you're an outdoor enthusiast or a nature lover, you will love the unspoiled, lush landscape and pristine beaches.

The choices for outdoor activities are nearly infinite--from surfing to scuba diving, hiking to bird-watching, and whale-spotting to sport-fishing. What for others would be an expensive vacation, for you will be merely a day trip.
And though this is the tropics and you can expect a heavy downpour about mid-afternoon during the rainy season (May to November), you can cast aside any images you might be harboring of jungle-steam humidity and sweat-drenched clothing.

There is more land preserved in national parks and reserves in this region than anywhere else in Costa Rica…plenty of nearly-deserted sand beaches (including Playa Uvita, ranked as one of Costa Rica's top six beaches by Frommer's)…and the largest primary rainforest remaining in the Americas. |
The temperatures hover near 79° Fahrenheit year-round and up on this height there is a lovely refreshing sea breeze.
These close-by comforts, amenities, and activities are definitely a selling point for Pacific Lots. But the first time you look out upon the impressive vista from your lot here, I think you'll agree the surrounding scenery is what makes this place so special.
In fact, the unparalleled beauty of the setting is largely why the development got started.
When the owner fell in love with the panoramic views and raw nature of this area while vacationing in Costa Rica in 1989, she purchased a huge parcel of land. Her family said she was crazy. When she went back to the U.S., though, and showed her friends and relatives photos of the property, they all wanted chunks of it…an acre here and an acre there…turning what her family thought was a whim into a stunning development.
Now that the Southern Zone is on the radar screen of tourists and property-shoppers, lots here are moving extremely fast.
And opportunities to get in on the ground floor of this emerging market, while it has its most promising upside potential, are becoming scarcer.
I encourage you to act quickly if you don't want to miss out on this opportunity to get your piece of this affordable paradise at Pacific Lots.

P.S. When we first introduced IL readers to the Southern Zone during our Pathfinder Costa Rica Real Estate Tour this past November, they were overwhelmed by the area's sheer natural beauty…and by the amazing early-in deals you can still find here. In fact, at the latest count, 9 of the attendees have already purchased property in the Southern Zone. They've gotten in ahead of the curve in this up-and-coming market. And if you act now, you can cash-in on this promising opportunity, too.
