Infrastructure & Readiness
- Newly Cut Internal Road – Provides direct access with a designated entrance area for a future gate.
- Water Supply
- AyA Facility (Costa Rican Institute of Aqueducts and Sewers) available in each lot, ready for connection.
- Three private water wells, two of which are officially registered, with a high-capacity flow rate (10 cc p/lt3).
- The property has the potential to register and operate its own ASADA (local water management association) for independent water supply.
- Ongoing Maintenance – Regular clearing of natural debris and grass cutting ensures the land remains in optimal condition.
- Building Permits & Environmental Approval
- Development permits issued by the Municipality of San Mateo.
- Environmental study approved by SETENA (National Environmental Technical Secretariat), covering land use and agricultural zoning. This 250+ page study was initially conducted for agricultural plots but can be adjusted for residential or commercial use.
- The Municipality of San Mateo allows land rezoning, and the process to change from agricultural to smaller lots takes approximately 1 to 3 months, as all necessary documentation is already prepared.
- Government Cooperation – The Municipality of San Mateo is supportive of new developments and offers a single-window process to expedite remaining approvals.

Agricultural & Revenue Potential

- Livestock Rental Opportunity – The land can be leased for cattle grazing, reducing maintenance costs for grass and brush. The farm is fully fenced and equipped with salt and water deposit stations.
This property offers exceptional development potential, supported by strong infrastructure, existing facilities, and cooperative local authorities.
