Costa Rica Caribbean Home for Sale – 400m from the Beach
Playa Chiquita, Puerto Viejo | 3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 1,412.90 m²
Just 400 meters from the beach, this well-maintained tropical home offers an attractive combination of location, accessibility, privacy, solid construction, and generous usable land in Costa Rica’s South Caribbean.
Set in a peaceful residential area of Playa Chiquita, the property is surrounded by mature tropical vegetation and fruit trees, creating a private and relaxing atmosphere while remaining very easy to access. The land is flat, stable, and well drained, with no known history of flooding, standing water, or landslides.
The house is built entirely on one level and features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The primary bedroom has a private bathroom, while the two additional bedrooms share the second bathroom. All bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans.
One of the property’s strongest advantages is its solid, durable construction. The house was built using reinforced masonry and concrete systems rather than lightweight construction methods, and the original architectural and structural plans were professionally prepared, submitted through CFIA, and supported by a municipal construction permit. The home has also been consistently maintained over the years, including regular attention to the roof, electrical system, pest prevention, and general upkeep.
The sanitary system is also more complete than what is commonly found in many residential properties in the area. In addition to the septic system, the approved mechanical plans include a FAFA anaerobic upflow filter, providing an additional stage of wastewater treatment before final disposal.
The fully equipped kitchen connects naturally with the covered dining and living areas, creating an open, functional layout that works equally well for permanent living, family use, or vacation rental.
Outside, the 1,412.90 m² property offers a spacious tropical garden, mature vegetation, fruit trees, parking for two vehicles, and a security camera at the entrance. Restaurants, a supermarket, beaches, and local services are all within easy reach, while Puerto Viejo, Punta Uva, Manzanillo, and other destinations along the South Caribbean coast are easily accessible.
The property is not located within the Maritime Zone (ZMT), the Keköldi Indigenous Territory, or a wildlife refuge.
Legal status
The property is currently held within a shared titled property, corresponding to 0.54% of the parent finca. The process of localización de derecho is already underway in order to individualize the property, and a new cadastral survey measuring 1,412.90 m² has already been prepared and registered for this purpose. The process would need to be continued by the buyer if the sale takes place before completion.
Currently operating successfully as a vacation rental, the property is also particularly well suited as a permanent residence or family home thanks to its flat terrain, single-level layout, easy access, peaceful setting, and proximity to the beach.
