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.

Osa Peninsula Turnkey Property Near Golfo Dulce Beach

Description

Location

Located in Playa Blanca, this 1.25 acre property near the beach offers a practical combination of privacy, space, and established rental infrastructure. The beach is just a two-minute walk, while Puerto Jiménez—with its airport, shops, and essential services—is approximately 30 minutes away.

Property

This Turnkey property includes a main house with a swimming pool and four independent cabins with an outdoor kitchen, currently operating as Airbnb rentals. All buildings are sold fully furnished and designed to function independently or together as a cohesive rental operation.

The cabins accommodate a total of four double beds and three single beds, while the main house includes three queen beds and one single bed, allowing for a total sleeping capacity of up to 18 guests. This layout supports group bookings, retreats, or consistent short-term rental use while maintaining privacy between units.

The land is flat and usable, with fruit trees and open green areas that create a pleasant, low-maintenance setting. The property is connected to all municipal services and offers reliable, year-round access.

This near-beach property in Playa Blanca is well suited for buyers seeking a Costa Rica rental property with strong capacity, income potential, and flexibility for personal or commercial use.

Playa Blanca is a relaxed, friendly beach on the Osa Peninsula where nature and community come together. The calm waters of the Golfo Dulce are perfect for swimming, kayaking, and other water sports, making it a great spot for families. It’s common to see, lots of marine life, dolphins playing nearby or humpback whales passing through during the season.

The area has a mix of adventure and everyday life: jungle trails, rivers, and nearly untouched beaches where you can slow down. Many local Costa Rican families live here, adding warmth and a sense of community, and the traditional “gastronomía tica”—fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and home-style dishes—makes every meal a taste of local life.

Owning or living here isn’t just about being near the ocean—it’s about waking up to nature, wildlife, and a welcoming community every day. Playa Blanca has a way of making you feel at home, whether you’re here for adventure, relaxation, or family life.

The land: 1.25 acre / .5 hectare
Power: main power grid
Water source: municipal

Playa Blanca isn’t just a location—it’s a place where mornings begin with the sound of waves, a cup of coffee, and life moves at the pace of the ocean. This property gives you a chance to be part of it.
