This 15,889 sq m (˜170,985 sq ft) property in Tres Rios offers a rare opportunity to live comfortably in a move-in-ready casita while designing and constructing your ideal home. Perfect for visionary buyers who want to avoid relocation costs, the land combines practicality with natural beauty. The 145 sq m (1,560 sq ft) casita provides immediate functionality with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a gas-stove kitchen, and a balcony framing views of mountains and **ocean views**. Freshly repainted and move-in ready, the lower level includes laundry, an outdoor shower, and flexible space for guests or storage. Live here during construction, just as the sellers did, or use it as a guesthouse post-build. The land itself is a blend of cleared, build-ready areas and lush greenery. Mature mango, avocado, citrus, and guava trees provide fresh fruit, while the bordering Río Tres Ríos ensures cooling breezes and a vibrant ecosystem. Elevated terrain offers mountain vistas, privacy, and easy road access to Route 237—connecting you to coastal towns and beaches within 30 minutes. Key advantages for builders and visionaries include the ability to live on-site with no need to rent elsewhere, allowing you to start construction immediately. Existing infrastructure like water access, fruit orchards, and leveled zones reduces startup costs, while the casita’s income potential as a future rental adds long-term value. The prime location places you close to untouched jungle trails, rivers, and Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast, balancing seclusion with accessibility. Ideal for eco-conscious builders, families seeking space to grow, or investors eyeing Costa Rica’s thriving tourism market, the coordinates (9°03'50.0"N, 83°34'52.4"W) place the property in a quiet, rural setting with urban conveniences a short drive away.
