1.2-acre lots from $99K — only 10 lots, all in Sector A, along the Quebrada Lapa. Part of each one falls within the creek's protected strip, so ask us which ones are still open and how much buildable area each has.
Promotional price of US$99,000 applies to 10 designated lots of approx. 5,000 m² (1.24 acres) in Sector A, while available, and to the lot only. These lots border the Quebrada Lapa; part of each falls within the legally protected strip, whose width is being determined by a licensed surveyor. Lot availability, final price and conditions are confirmed in the written reservation agreement. The seller may end this promotion at any time without affecting signed agreements.
Owner financing
The developer offers owner financing: you can pay for your lot over time, directly with the seller, instead of in a single payment. Terms are given to you in writing for the lot you choose.
According to Costa Rican real-estate firms, local bank loans for non-residents exist but usually require a large down payment, more paperwork and higher rates than in the US, and raw land is often harder to finance than a finished home. No official statistic on loans to foreigners is published.
Owner financing available — ask for terms
Terms subject to approval and contract. Down payment, term and interest rate are agreed case by case, in writing. Financing requires identity and source-of-funds checks and a contract reviewed by your lawyer. Interest rates in Costa Rica are capped by law.
Tell us which lot you like. We send the financing terms for that lot in writing.

Why own here
Inland, outside the beach-concession zone
Within 200 m of the shoreline, Costa Rica grants only municipal concessions, and foreign buyers generally can't hold one without five years of residency (Law 6043). Yakú is inland, outside the Maritime-Terrestrial Zone, where foreigners have the same property rights as citizens.
Individual registry numbers and cadastral plans are being finalized. Ask for the details of the lot you like and have your lawyer check them. General information, not legal advice.
More land for your money
Lots in Sectors A and B are listed at $26–38 per m². Comparable lots near Brasilito and Playas del Coco ask $46–72 per m².
Based on public listings reviewed in October 2026 (Encuentra24, KRAIN, Palm Real Estate).
A possible path to residency
Buying property may qualify you for residency in Costa Rica — consult a lawyer.
On its own, a $99K lot is below the current minimum investment for investor residency. Requirements and amounts are set by the immigration authority and may change. The seller does not guarantee residency approval.
Walk the lot on a Saturday, or on a live video call from home.
II
Reserve
Hold your lot with a deposit, under a written reservation agreement in English and Spanish.
III
Due diligence
Your own independent lawyer checks the title, cadastral plan, access and permits before you commit further.
IV
Transfer
You sign before a Costa Rican notary, in person or by power of attorney, and the property is recorded in your name at the National Registry.
Reservations require a signed written agreement and are never paid through this website. Refund terms are stated in the reservation agreement. Identity and source-of-funds verification is required by Costa Rican law.

Can foreigners buy land in Costa Rica?
Yes. Outside the coastal concession zone, foreigners can own titled land in their own name, with the same rights as citizens. No residency is required to buy.
Can I buy without traveling?
Many buyers start with a live video walk of the lot. Signing can often be done by power of attorney; your lawyer will confirm what applies to you.
What are the taxes and closing costs?
As a general guide: transfer tax of 1.5% of the registered value plus registry stamps and notary fees, typically around 3–4% of the price in total, and an annual municipal property tax of 0.25% of the registered value. Closing costs and taxes are estimates based on current Costa Rican law and may change. They do not include taxes in your home country. Consult a tax advisor.
Is there water?
A water availability letter is being requested from the local provider. Ask us for the current status of the lot you like, in writing, before you reserve.
Is there electricity?
Electricity availability is being confirmed with the local provider. Service connections, meters and their costs are the buyer's responsibility unless the purchase agreement says otherwise.
Can I build a home on any lot?
Internal roads are agricultural easements. Residential building permits are subject to approval by the Municipality of Carrillo and other authorities, and are not guaranteed by the seller. Confirm buildability with your own lawyer and architect before you buy.
