Discover a truly unique 0,56 acres beachfront estate in Playa Zancudo, one of the last coastal regions in Costa Rica where private oceanfront property ownership remains possible outside of the traditional maritime concession structure found in much of the country.

Located directly on the shores of the Golfo Dulce, this exceptional estate benefits from an existing uso de suelo (land use designation) rather than a maritime concession — an increasingly rare and highly sought-after characteristic for beachfront real estate in Costa Rica.

For buyers familiar with Costa Rican coastal property regulations, this distinction represents significant long-term value and rarity.

Completed in 2025, the estate combines modern luxury, handcrafted design, mature tropical landscaping, and panoramic ocean views in one of southern Costa Rica’s most naturally rich environments.

A Rare Coastal Property Structure in Costa Rica

Much of Costa Rica’s beachfront falls under maritime concession regulations, limiting direct ownership opportunities along the coast.

Playa Zancudo remains one of the increasingly rare exceptions where select oceanfront properties benefit from established land rights and recognized land use status (uso de suelo) rather than concession arrangements.

For international buyers and investors seeking:

True oceanfront property
Long-term security
Scarcity value
Privacy and exclusivity
Premium beachfront real estate in Costa Rica
this distinction makes the property especially compelling.

Oceanfront opportunities of this nature are becoming exceptionally difficult to find anywhere in Costa Rica.

Convenient Access to Southern Costa Rica

Despite its secluded atmosphere, the property remains easily accessible:
Approximately 1 hour by car to Golfito
Approximately 20 minutes by boat to the local airport
Convenient access to marina services, shopping, and regional transportation
Approximately 1 hour by car to Panama boarder

Available furnished or unfurnished depending on buyer preference.
