Live the Costa Rica You’ve Always Dreamed About
Set on the shores of the breathtaking Golfo Dulce, one of the world’s few tropical fjords, this 2,382 m² (25,640 sq ft) beachfront lot comes with a beach concession of more than 60 years — a guarantee of long-term enjoyment and value for generations to come.
Picture your mornings: coffee on the balcony while dolphins cruise through the calm waters of the gulf, then a surf session steps from your front door, a kayak trip through the mangroves, an offshore fishing outing, or simply relaxing by your private pool surrounded by tropical gardens.
For surfers, the location is exceptional: waves break directly in front of the property, and just a short drive away are the legendary breaks of Pavones, home to one of the longest left-hand point breaks on the planet.
For nature lovers, toucans, monkeys, scarlet macaws, and hummingbirds are part of everyday life in this unspoiled corner of southern Costa Rica.
Getting there: the property is served by Golfito Airport (GLF), roughly 35 km (22 miles) by road — about 45 minutes to an hour by car — or a scenic 19 km (12-mile), 40-minute boat ride across the gulf.

Sale Structure and Legal Framework
The property is sold as a share transfer of a Costa Rican corporation (Sociedad Anónima, S.A.), which holds the beach concession (Zona Marítimo Terrestre). This is a common and secure method of transferring beachfront property in Costa Rica’s maritime zone.
As with any real estate acquisition involving a ZMT concession in Costa Rica, buyers are strongly encouraged to retain an independent local attorney to review the corporate documents, concession title, and purchase agreement.
