Versatile Development Land in Santiago

Located along the Santiago Road in the hills above Playa Hermosa, this close-to-one-hectare property presents an opportunity to acquire highly versatile land in one of the most desirable growth corridors of the Nicoya Peninsula. With a large public road frontage, commercial–residential zoning, and a gently sloped topography ideal for building, it’s well positioned for a range of residential or small-scale commercial projects, with infrastructure already in place. Just a short drive from Playa Hermosa and within easy reach of Santa Teresa and Malpaís, the location balances accessibility with the calm, natural atmosphere Santiago is known for.

With approximately 65 meters of public road frontage, the property benefits from excellent visibility and access, making it well suited for a range of residential or commercial development concepts. The land’s gentle topography simplifies construction, while its commercial–residential zoning allows for diverse uses, from private homes and mixed-use projects to small-scale hospitality or service-oriented developments.

Infrastructure is already in place, including electricity and water sourced from two wells, allowing a future owner to move forward efficiently with planning and construction. Native trees, most notably large Guanacaste trees, are scattered throughout the property, providing natural shade, privacy, and a lush tropical ambiance that enhances both lifestyle and long-term value.

Located in Santiago, a quiet hillside community just north of Santa Teresa, the property sits within one of the Nicoya Peninsula’s most scenic and increasingly sought-after residential zones. Known for its elevated ridgelines and panoramic views, Santiago offers a peaceful setting with cooler temperatures, fresh breezes, and close proximity to Playa Hermosa and its amenities and services. The landscape is characterized by wildlife sightings, including monkeys, ocelots, and tropical birds. Despite its tranquil setting, the property remains close to everyday conveniences such as cafés, a local supermarket, and the Hermosa Valley School, offering an ideal balance between nature and community.

Whether envisioned as a development project, an investment holding, or a thoughtfully designed private estate, this land offers flexibility, readiness, and location: all key elements for success in today’s market.
