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.

Why invest and live in the Osa Peninsula?

Anyone serious about buying property in Costa Rica should consider the opportunities in the Osa Peninsula as compared to property in Guanacaste, Uvita or Dominical where real estate prices are higher and getting more crowded. Whether you’re seeking a sustainable lifestyle, a vacation property, or a long-term investment, here is your chance to own property in one of Costa Rica’s most ecologically important regions.

The Osa Peninsula is internationally recognized for extraordinary biodiversity and rainforest-to-coast ecosystems — Costa Rica’s most ecologically rich region and one of the most biodiverse places on earth. Bordered by the pristine Golfo Dulce on the east side and the Pacific ocean on the west makes for some stunning land and sea-scapes. Evolution at its finest. Osa is a bit more remote compared to other more developed parts of the country like Quepos, Dominical or the arid Guanacaste zone. It’s more lush and tropical with spectacular wildlife, deserted beaches and virgin forests. This attraction draws people with a bit more pioneer spirit and a desire to co-exist with unspoiled nature. A place where jaguars still roam the jungle and Scarlet Macaws fly around in the town. You will also find a friendly community of locals and expats that have settled here, away from mainstream life.
Puerto Jiménez – The gateway to the Osa Peninsula, this thriving coastal town combines small-town lifestyle with growing infrastructure. A new public pier and natural harbor support sport fishing, dolphin and whale tours, and private boating, while experienced local operators provide easy access to the biodiversity of Golfo Dulce and surrounding area including Corcovado National Park. With daily SANSA flights to and from San José, Puerto Jiménez offers convenience, services, and a strong community base—making it a prime location for investment and property ownership in Costa Rica’s South Pacific region.
The Golfo Dulce (Sweet Gulf) is one of only four tropical Fjords in the world and the only one in the Americas, a rare ecosystem recognized internationally for its biodiversity – declared a Whale Heritage Site, a Mission Blue Hope Spot, and an Important Marine Mammal Area, making it one of the planet’s most celebrated sanctuaries for dolphins, humpback whales, whale sharks, and sea turtles. Surrounded by pristine rainforest and national parks, the gulf combines world-class marine conservation with unmatched natural beauty, attracting eco-tourism, sport fishing, and nature enthusiasts from across the globe.
Home to Corcovado National Park – the crown jewel of Costa Rica’s national park system and a major attraction for visitors from all over the world. Covering nearly half of the Osa Peninsula, it protects the largest stretch of lowland tropical rainforest left in Central America. It is home to jaguars, tapirs, scarlet macaws, all four of Costa Rica’s monkey species, and countless rare plants and amphibians. With rugged trails, remote beaches, and pristine rivers, Corcovado offers one of the last truly wild rainforest experiences in the world.
