Where it is

La Yerba, Pavones — close in, but away from the noise.

The property sits in the hills of La Yerba, district of Pavón, canton of Golfito, Puntarenas — Costa Rica's wild South Pacific, near the Golfo Dulce and the Panama border. It lies about 750 m east of the Rio Claro de Pavones supermarket: in the heart of the area, yet above the village.

  • GPS ≈ 8.409° N, −83.107° W, elevation 78–152 m — high enough for breeze, panoramas and cooler air than the shoreline.
  • Access is paved almost the whole way from the coast; only the final climb is gravel.
  • Sweeping views over the Golfo Dulce — one of the best sunset positions in Pavones.

Two sectors

A protected reserve and a place to build.

Costa Rica's INTA mapped the parent farm into two natures:

  • Forest — 1.28 ha (65%). Protected secondary rainforest (Class VII land, Forestry Law 7575): cannot be cleared or subdivided. Home to toucans, monkeys and sloths beneath cedro amargo, pilón, gallinazo and vochysia. This is your permanent privacy buffer.
  • Buildable — 0.69 ha (35%). "Suelo disturbado" on the highest part of the ridge, already shaped into terraces with heavy machinery — the land you build on.

An intermittent quebrada runs along the south-west boundary, with all legal setbacks respected.

Already done for you

The hard groundwork is finished.

The expensive, slow earthworks that usually eat months and thousands of dollars in Costa Rica are already in the ground — and certified by INTA's engineers.

Gravel roads

Internal lastre roads reach every terrace.

Retaining walls

Slope stabilisation against erosion.

Drainage

Cunetas & culverts for the rainy season.

Pool built

A working pool overlooking the gulf.

Clean paper

Titled. Not a concession.

Much of coastal Pavones is maritime-zone land, held on 20-year government concessions. This is different — and that difference is most of the value.

  • Fee-simple title — registered finca inscrita, Folio Real 6-190768-000, in Costa Rica's National Registry.
  • Foreigners own outright — same constitutional property rights as citizens; the current owner holds it as a foreigner.
  • 100% uso conforme — 2025 INTA soil studies certify fully conforming land use, the clean base for future building permits (SETENA).

Full legal documents — title, cadastral plans and INTA studies — are shared privately with serious buyers on request.

Talk to the owner
Is it titled or a concession?

Fully titled fee-simple — Folio Real 6-190768-000. Not a maritime concession; it sits well above and inland of the coastal zone.

Can a foreigner buy it?

Yes — foreigners have the same ownership rights as Costa Ricans on titled land. No local partner needed.

Can the three terraces be bought separately?

Yes — together as one estate or individually. Message the owner for the current options and price.

Is it reachable in the rainy season?

The approach is paved almost all the way, and the internal roads already have gravel and drainage built for the wet months.

See the title for yourself.

Ask the price, request the legal file, or arrange a visit — directly with the owner.
