What makes Puerto Jiménez a unique place to buy real estate?

Puerto Jiménez, the main town on the Osa Peninsula, offers unmatched access to pristine beaches, rainforest properties, and incredible biodiversity. Its combination of natural beauty, local amenities, and expert guidance from a trusted Puerto Jiménez real estate office makes it ideal for vacation homes, long-term investments, and eco-friendly retreats in Costa Rica.

Is it possible to purchase land on the Osa Peninsula safely as a foreigner?

Absolutely. Purchasing land on the Osa Peninsula is safe when proper legal procedures are followed. A reputable Puerto Jiménez real estate office ensures thorough title verification, due diligence, and compliance with Costa Rican property laws, making the process transparent and worry-free for foreign buyers.

Are waterfront and jungle properties common in Puerto Jiménez?

Waterfront and jungle properties are highly sought after on the Osa Peninsula. While these properties are limited in availability, a local Puerto Jiménez real estate office can guide buyers to options that suit their needs, from secluded beachfront lots to sustainable jungle retreats, maximizing both privacy and investment potential.

What type of properties are most common in the Puerto Jiménez area?

You'll find a diverse mix. The most common are large acreage suitable for eco-tourism or conservation, titled land parcels for building custom homes, and existing homes or villas geared toward retirement or rental income. The market here is defined by its strong connection to nature.

Is it safe to invest in land and property near Corcovado National Park?

Yes, it is safe, but it requires due diligence. Properties bordering the park are highly valuable due to the access to unparalleled biodiversity, but they come with strict environmental regulations. A trusted agent, like the specialists at Osa Land Office, will ensure all necessary permits and zoning requirements are met before you purchase.

What is the average commission rate for real estate agents in this part of Costa Rica?

Agent commissions in the Osa Peninsula typically range from 5% to 7%, similar to the rest of Costa Rica. This fee is generally paid by the seller. However, it's always best to clarify the exact rate and services included with your chosen agent from the start.

How do I verify if a real estate agent in Puerto Jiménez is legitimate and trustworthy?

The most reliable way is to look for agents who are members of the Costa Rican Chamber of Real Estate Brokers (CCBR). You should also ask about their years of experience specifically in the Osa Peninsula market and ask for references from past clients who have completed transactions here.

Are there any specific local taxes or fees I should be aware of as a foreign property owner in Puerto Jiménez?

Yes. Beyond the standard annual property tax (Impuesto de Bienes Inmuebles), you will need to pay an annual Luxury Home Tax (Impuesto a las Personas Jurídicas) if your property is held in a corporation, which is common practice here. Your attorney and agent will guide you on structuring the purchase to manage these obligations effectively.

What is the difference between titled land and concession property near the coast?

Titled land grants you full ownership rights, similar to the US or Canada. Concession property is leased from the government, and the ownership is not outright, but rather a long-term lease. Most secure transactions involve fully titled land, which is what we primarily recommend to foreign buyers.
