About Prime Development Land In Osa

A One-of-a-Kind Investment Opportunity

13.4 Acres of Prime Development Land Bordering Palmar Sur Airport

This extraordinary 13.4-acre property presents a truly rare opportunity—not only for the Southern Zone, but within Costa Rica as a whole. Strategically positioned directly alongside Palmar Sur Airport, with existing commercial operations and long-term growth potential, this offering is ideally suited for visionary investors, pilots and aircraft owners, aviation service providers, hospitality entrepreneurs, land developers, and agricultural or permaculture ventures.

With its expansive size, diversified current use, aviation permits, and proximity to major planned infrastructure—including the future international airport—this property offers a powerful foundation for a wide range of high-value development concepts.

The Land & Airport Access

The fully fenced 13.4-acre parcel stretches along an impressive 562 meters of the western boundary of Palmar Sur Airport and holds civil aviation permits allowing direct aircraft access to the runway. Located directly across from the terminal building, the airport infrastructure is clearly visible from the property.

Palmar Sur Airport services general aviation, private aircraft, business jets, medevac operations, and daily commercial flights to San José via Sansa Airlines (approximately 35 minutes). The 4,600-foot (1,400-meter) asphalt runway, widened and upgraded in 2019, accommodates aircraft up to regional turboprops such as the ATR 42 and Dash-8, as well as common business jets including Cessna Citation models and ERJ-145. Renovations included a brand-new terminal and 24-hour LED runway lighting.

An electric gate secures the entrance, opening to a striking palm-lined internal driveway that winds through manicured parklands, orchards, and green spaces. The layout includes extensive parking areas serving the residences and multiple auxiliary structures. A recreational ranch is currently operating on-site.

Engineered drainage systems efficiently channel rainwater toward the Río Grande de Térraba, and existing well rights allow for future water well development if required.

The abundance of mature trees, landscaped gardens, and open green space creates a sanctuary for wildlife, including squirrels, iguanas, macaws, parrots, toucans, hummingbirds, butterflies, and more.

Main Residence

The cheerful, sunlit main home is immediately welcoming, featuring a spacious covered front patio and vibrant yellow tones complemented by nature-inspired artwork throughout. Inside, a generous open-plan living and dining area flows seamlessly into a large, fully equipped kitchen with extensive counter space, ample storage, and innovative glass-front cabinetry.

The home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with quality wood beds and flooring, air conditioning, and artistic wall murals throughout. A nearby covered gazebo—accessible via a sheltered outdoor walkway—includes a hammock, bar, and ample seating, making it an ideal setting for gatherings, sunset cocktails, or relaxed afternoons.

The main house is equipped with water filtration, a hot water system, and a CCTV security system.

Rental Homes

Two additional homes—finished in striking green and burgundy tones—are currently operating as income-producing rental properties. Each home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with bright interiors and generous layouts. Plans are already in place to add air conditioning to both units, further increasing rental appeal.

Additional Structures

Large warehouse / garage / workshop with attached aircraft hangar, suitable for multiple aircraft, vehicle storage, warehousing, or mixed-use operations

Covered equipment shed housing tractor, mower, and trailers

Two-car garage

Secure cellar with solar-powered automatic lighting

CCTV security coverage across key structures

Orchards, Grounds & Sports Facilities

The property features extensive tropical orchards producing a wide variety of fruits without the need for year-round fertilization or irrigation. Numerous 75-year-old timber trees, ornamental plants, and carefully curated landscaping enhance the grounds.

Immaculately maintained lawns extend across the entire property, evoking the elegance of formal European estates while providing natural shade and habitat for wildlife.

Two full-sized, illuminated sports facilities—a soccer field and volleyball court—allow for evening recreation in the cooler air.

Use & Development Potential

For pilots and aircraft owners, this property is truly exceptional—offering the rare ability to walk from home directly to an aircraft and taxi to the runway within minutes. The existing aviation permits allow seamless movement between private land and airside operations.

The scale and layout make this property ideal for:

A private aviation estate or pilot-owner community

Multi-aircraft hangar facilities

Aviation-focused hospitality or boutique resort

Light industrial, logistics, or warehousing operations

Commercial centers, restaurants, cafés, or service businesses

Agricultural, ranching, or permaculture projects

The existing rental homes can be expanded or enhanced, while the addition of amenities such as pools, jacuzzis, yoga decks, gazebos, and recreational facilities could transform the property into a unique aviation and lifestyle destination.

Negotiable Inclusions

The following assets may be included in the sale by negotiation:

2010 Nissan Frontier pickup, 6-speed manual, 4.0L engine, excellent condition

Snapper zero-turn mower, 60-inch, 23 HP

Future International Airport Development

The southern region has been designated as the site of Costa Rica’s third international airport, addressing the long-standing limitation of having international gateways only in San José and Liberia. Once operational, this airport is expected to significantly boost tourism, commerce, and development throughout the Southern Zone.

Owning a large, developed parcel directly bordering the region’s most important airport—within the primary service hub for hundreds of kilometers—positions this property at the forefront of future growth.
