Expansive Ocean View Lot in the Hills of Hermosa
Set in the lush hills above Playa Hermosa (Santiago Area), this 6,390 m² ocean-view lot offers a rare opportunity to build in what is quickly becoming one of the most desirable enclaves on the Nicoya Peninsula. Known for its consistent surf, wide sandy beach, and strong sense of community, Playa Hermosa reflects a lifestyle rooted in connection to the ocean, nature, and unassuming luxury.
Accessed via a well-maintained cobblestone road, the property already has electricity and an artisanal well in place, allowing for a smooth path to development. The neighbourhood is peaceful and secure, with three high-end homes currently under construction, shaping a refined yet grounded residential environment.
The lot is zoned agricultural-residential, with approximately 10%–25% buildability, depending on the architectural design and the specific use of the structures. This allows for thoughtful, low-density projects that integrate naturally with the landscape.
The property enjoys expansive ocean views over a protected, forested valley that will remain untouched, ensuring long-term privacy. A constant ocean breeze keeps the setting fresh year-round. At one boundary, a natural creek offers the potential to create private trails through the forest, possibly connecting toward the beach—bringing a deeper, daily connection to the land and ocean.
Located just 5 minutes from Playa Hermosa’s surf, 7 minutes from Manzanillo, and approximately 20 minutes from Santa Teresa, this is both an exceptional retreat and a highly practical place to live. For families, the area is especially convenient, with three international schools located within approximately 5 to 30 minutes, making it easy to combine lifestyle and daily living.
A neighboring lot with nearly identical characteristics is also available, presenting a compelling opportunity to expand—whether for a larger private estate, a family compound, or a multi-home concept.
As true ocean-view land becomes increasingly scarce in this area, this property stands out for its balance of location, lifestyle, and long-term value.
