One of the few remaining properties of its kind, this high-visibility corner lot offers 75% buildability in one of the town’s most sought-after commercial zones. Currently hosting very simple freestanding cabinas that generate steady income, the property offers immediate returns with strong potential for future development.

Long Description
Positioned on one of the most visible corners in Santa Teresa, this is one of the last remaining large commercial lots in the center of Costa Rica’s most vibrant beach town. Located right on the main road with excellent street frontage, this 2,000m² property offers unmatched exposure, zoning flexibility, and development potential — a dream opportunity for visionary investors and developers.
Surrounded by some of the area’s most successful businesses — including top-rated restaurants, trendy bars, stylish clothing stores, cafes, and boutique shops — this location guarantees steady foot traffic, visibility, and prestige for any future development. Just steps from the beach and the ocean, this prime location is highly attractive to tourists and visitors year-round, making it ideal for any hospitality, commercial, or recreational venture.
With zoning that allows for up to 75% buildability, the possibilities are vast:
Boutique hotel or luxury apartments
High-end commercial plaza with shops and restaurants
Private healthcare clinic or medical center
Sports or fitness center with paddle, pickleball, or tennis courts
Mixed-use project combining retail, residential, and hospitality
The lot currently includes several no-frills, income-producing structures—rental units and a former bar space—that provide immediate cash flow while you plan your project. The true value, however, lies in the land’s location, visibility, and growth potential.
Santa Teresa is a booming destination with strong tourism, increasing property values, and a growing international community. Corner properties of this size and location are increasingly rare — making this a standout investment in one of Costa Rica’s fastest-appreciating markets.
