Until recently, the 4.8-hectare beachfront tract in Ojo de Agua (between Tamales and Sombrero) has been on the open market with an asking price of $2.25 million. The property consists of two titled lots and a shared maritime zone (ZMT), along with water wells on each titled lot and architectural plans for the home originally envisioned. The entire property is impeccably documented: the two titled lots (6,151 m² and 5,382 m², respectively) total 1.2 hectares, complemented by 3.6 hectares of ZMT, shared by both lots.

We still prefer to sell the entire property as originally advertised and remain open to reasonable offers.

However, as of last week, the owner has agreed to split the ZMT and offer the smaller titled lot (5,382 m²) together with half of the ZMT (1.8 hectares) for an asking price of $950,000. This represents a total of 23,382 square meters for $950K, or $40.62 per square meter. It is difficult to find a comparable price for pristine beachfront—especially within a world-class surf zone.

The photos in the listing and in this mailer communicate most of what needs to be said, and the video completes the picture. Still, to flesh out a few additional details, here is a closer look.

The titled lot measures 5,382 square meters and allows you to build whatever you wish, with no restrictions. The property shares a single access with neighboring parcels, and you may construct your own private gate.

Regarding the ZMT, the maritime zone is currently under use-permit application with its administering authority, the Municipality of Puerto Jiménez, under corporate ownership. The owner is prepared to renounce the existing permit in order to immediately re-apply for two separate permits—one for your new lot and one for the remaining titled lot. With a total of 3.6 hectares, the ZMT divides cleanly into 1.8 hectares for each property.

The property includes a hand-dug well, duly inscribed with the National Registry and legally valid for obtaining municipal building permits.

Sombrero lies several miles beyond the public electrical grid, meaning this is off-grid living, powered exclusively by solar energy.

For surfers, the Sombrero point break, renowned worldwide, begins breaking just 200 meters south of the property’s corner, offering rides of up to 800 meters, depending on swell conditions.

The Osa Peninsula is home to approximately 2.5% of the planet’s biodiversity, encompassing land and sea life alike. The region hosts four species of monkeys, agoutis, otters, tayras and other mustelids, coatis, four species of large cats, anteaters, sloths, two species of peccary, and even the tapir, which has recently re-established itself along the Gulf-coast mangroves. Hundreds of bird species—including the iconic scarlet macaw, keel-billed toucans, brown pelicans, and frigatebirds—frequent the coastline, drawn by rich fisheries and abundant fruit and almond trees.

Culturally and logistically, Ojo de Agua is just 15 minutes from the energetic bustle of the county seat and peninsular capital, Puerto Jiménez, where nearly everything you need is readily available—except, perhaps, corn meal, buttermilk, corned beef, and king crab.

Are you looking to establish a family estate in paradise, far from the crowds? Perhaps an eco-lodge or surf camp? Or maybe a secure place in the Switzerland of Central America to park your capital in real estate while the Osa Peninsula’s maritime zone receives its zoning plan and opens for concessions, potentially multiplying your investment in a few short years.

Whatever your ambitions, the entry fee is $950,000.

Don’t delay. Don’t hesitate. Call me to lock the property down for the 2–3 days it takes to fly down and confirm what you already know.

This one is for you, kiddo.
