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

True oceanfront property
Long-term security

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
