Real-Estate & Beach-Front properties:

All individuals and private companies, local or foreign, can own land and property in Costa Rica. There are some excellent Real Estate  that can be found  all over Costa Rica and in the last years a lot of  foreign investors, especially from U.S. Canada & Europe (Italy ,Swiss ,Nederland, France and more) found their  opportunity in real estate in Costa Rica.                                                                             Most popular areas are at the Pacific side of the country shore.              

At 1972 the government of Costa-Rica, passed a law, which established legal parameters that regulated ownership rights within these ocean front properties.

These new rules, encompassed all property along Costa Rica’s entire coastline. These legal parameters and decree established , that:
All the ocean front properties (the coastline), would

  have a public and inalienable zone, which would

  always remain accessible to the public & All

  beaches would remain public forever.

 

No new development or structures would be

   permitted in this zone.

  This zone is commonly referred to as, the "50 meter

  inalienable zone” (measures 50 Meters inland from

  mean high tide).


The law further states, that the next 150 meters

  inland from this 50 meter, will be a land area that

  can be developed, but with certain construction

  guidelines, ecological sensitivity, and specified

  zoning. This 150 meter area, is referred to in legal

  terms as the “Zona Maritima Terrestre” ("Maritime

  Zone"), which is according to a zoning plan  - 

  The “Plan Regulador” ("Regulatory Plan").

  Where this plan exists in the coastal property

  areas, construction is permitted.

 

 

Our Ocean / Beach-Front lots at the

  "parcela de Dios" project

 in Santa-Teresa, are under the

 "Regulatory Plan" ( see ).
