Expansive Ocean View Lot in the Hills of Hermosa

Description

Set in the lush hills above Playa Hermosa in the Santiago area, this expansive 6,390 m² ocean-view lot offers a rare opportunity to build a custom estate in what is quickly becoming one of the most desirable enclaves on the Nicoya Peninsula. The area is renowned for its consistent surf, wide sandy beaches, and strong sense of community rooted in connection to the ocean and nature. The property is easily accessed via a well-maintained cobblestone road and benefits from existing infrastructure, including electricity and an artisanal well. The lot is zoned agricultural-residential with approximately 10–25% buildability depending on architectural design and land use, allowing for thoughtful, low-density projects that integrate naturally with the landscape. The defining feature of this property is its expansive ocean views over a protected, forested valley that will remain untouched, ensuring lasting privacy and unobstructed sightlines. A constant ocean breeze keeps the setting fresh year-round, while a natural creek at one boundary offers the potential to create private trails through the forest, possibly connecting toward the beach for a deeper daily connection to the land and ocean. Location is another key advantage. The lot sits just 5 minutes from Playa Hermosa's renowned surf break, 7 minutes from Manzanillo, and approximately 20 minutes from Santa Teresa. The neighborhood is peaceful and secure, with three high-end homes currently under construction, shaping a refined yet grounded residential environment. For families, the area is particularly convenient, with three international schools located within 5 to 30 minutes, making it easy to combine lifestyle and daily living. An adjacent lot with nearly identical characteristics is also available, presenting a compelling opportunity for expansion—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 exceptional balance of location, lifestyle, and long-term potential.
