idyllic ocean view lot in the hills of hermosa
set in the lush hills above playa hermosa (santiago area), this 8,126 m² ocean-view lot offers a rare opportunity to build in one of the nicoya peninsula’s most sought-after and fast-evolving enclaves. known for its consistent surf, wide sandy beach, and strong sense of community, playa hermosa embodies a lifestyle defined by connection to the ocean, nature, and unassuming luxury.
accessed via a well-maintained cobblestone road, the property already benefits from electricity and an artisanal well, allowing for a seamless transition into development. the neighbourhood is peaceful and secure, with three high-end homes currently under construction, reinforcing the area’s growing appeal among those seeking a more refined yet grounded coastal lifestyle.
zoned for agricultural-residential use, the lot offers approximately 10%–25% buildability, depending on the architectural design and the specific use of the spaces. its generous size opens the door to a range of possibilities—from a private estate to a multi-residence concept—while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding environment.
the property enjoys sweeping ocean views over a protected, fully forested valley that will remain untouched, ensuring lasting privacy and natural beauty. a steady ocean breeze keeps the property cool year-round. along one boundary, a natural creek creates the opportunity to design private trails through the forest, potentially connecting all the way toward the beach—bringing a deeper, everyday connection to the land and ocean.
ideally located just 5 minutes from playa hermosa’s surf, 7 minutes from manzanillo, and approximately 20 minutes from santa teresa, the property offers both seclusion and accessibility. for families, the area is especially appealing, with three international schools located within approximately 5 to 30 minutes, supporting a balanced lifestyle centered around nature, community, and daily convenience.
a neighboring lot with similar characteristics is also available, offering the possibility to secure a larger footprint—ideal for a private compound, multi-home concept, or long-term land banking strategy.
as ocean-view land of this quality becomes increasingly limited in playa hermosa, this offering stands out for its scale, setting, and long-term potential.
