DESCRIPTION A landmark investment opportunity for international developers, hotel groups, family offices and institutional investors in northern Guanacaste, Costa Rica. This exceptional 432 hectare estate is strategically positioned between La Cruz and El Jobo, at the heart of a calm, protected Pacific bay. With approximately 400 meters of direct beachfront, established infrastructure, substantial water availability and multiple permitted uses, the property offers the scale required for a major master planned destination or productive commercial development. The property’s central position provides a future owner with the opportunity to play a defining role in the tourism and economic development of the entire bay. STRONG INVESTMENT MOMENTUM Northern Guanacaste is attracting growing international interest. Marriott has reportedly acquired a hotel property approximately five kilometers away, while another new five star hotel is being developed nearby. These investments underline the region’s potential for luxury hospitality, branded residences, tourism services and long term real estate appreciation. The municipality and mayor of La Cruz are highly receptive to major projects, particularly sustainable developments that create employment, infrastructure and economic growth. Local authorities also support facilitating access to water for qualifying development projects. WATER AND INFRASTRUCTURE The property already has access to approximately 500,000 liters of spring water per day during the development phase, representing a significant advantage for construction and phased project implementation. Additional infrastructure includes: • Electricity connection • Private internal roads • Drinking water access • Gently rising topography suitable for ocean view development • Approximately 400 meters of direct Pacific beachfront DEVELOPMENT POSSIBILITIES The property offers residential, commercial, tourism, agricultural and industrial development potential. Possible concepts include: • International luxury hotel or resort • Private marina and nautical center • Branded residences • Luxury villas and gated communities • Eco resort or nature retreat • Wellness, medical or retirement resort • Marina village with restaurants and retail • Beach club and water sports center • Golf or sports resort • Convention or corporate retreat facilities • Master planned mixed use community • Agriculture and large scale cultivation • Food production and agricultural processing • Logistics and distribution center • Warehouses and cold storage • Light manufacturing or industrial park • Marine services, boat storage and maintenance MARINA AND REGIONAL NAUTICAL ACCESS The protected bay and coastal configuration may provide attractive conditions for a private marina, subject to environmental, technical and governmental approvals. A marina could serve motorboats, sailing yachts, sportfishing vessels, charter fleets and excursion operators while generating recurring income through berths, maintenance, charter services, restaurants and retail. The location offers direct nautical connectivity toward Playa del Coco, Playa Flamingo, Marina Papagayo and San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua. Access toward San Juan del Sur provides a rare cross border tourism and yachting opportunity that few competing locations in Guanacaste can offer. EXPANSION POTENTIAL An additional 69 hectare mountain property may also be acquired. It offers panoramic views across the bay and its own drinking water source with reported purity of 99.9 percent. The wider land assembly may potentially be expanded to approximately 1,100 hectares along the coast toward the Nicaraguan border. Further neighboring land packages of up to 2,000 hectares may also be available, subject to availability, negotiation and due diligence. An expanded acquisition could increase the total beachfront to approximately 1.8 kilometers, creating exceptional potential for a major resort destination, master planned community, agricultural operation, industrial development or long term land banking strategy. LOCATION • Approximately 45 minutes from Liberia • Approximately 60 minutes from Liberia International Airport • Close to El Jobo and established hotel developments • Direct Pacific beachfront • Nautical access toward Costa Rica’s principal maritime destinations and San Juan del Sur INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS • 432 hectares of strategic development land • Approximately 400 meters of direct beachfront • Prime position at the heart of a protected bay • Approximately 500,000 liters of spring water per day during development • Residential, commercial, tourism, agricultural and industrial potential • Strong municipal support for major developments • Private marina potential, subject to approvals • Nearby international hospitality investment • Significant land assembly and expansion opportunities This is more than a land acquisition.
