Estate-Size Lots and Land in the Central Valley<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Let\u2019s face it: in Costa Rica, there are a lot of cookie-cutter developments with row upon row of identical houses.\u00a0 Even in some larger developments, home styles vary, but lots are small and houses are closely spaced.<\/p>\n

If you long for more elbow room, great views, privacy, and perhaps a place for horses or other furry friends, choices can be limited.\u00a0 Often buyers coming from North America are surprised at the small size of many building lots in the Central Valley.<\/p>\n

If you are used to having a few acres to stretch you legs, but don\u2019t want to drive an hour to get to schools or work, then it can be challenging to find larger parcels that are still convenient to all the services and amenities that the city offers.<\/p>\n

Luckily there are some properties that cater to a select clientele who are interested in building a refined country retreat where peace and quiet prevail, yet still close to all the goods and services that are necessary for a cosmopolitan lifestyle.<\/p>\n

United Country Properties in Costa Rica specializes in filling this niche market of estate-size building lots.<\/p>\n

We have larger view lots in Salitral de Santa Ana inside a gated community of only 16 estate-style lots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also have a panoramic view property of 10 acres located in Piedades<\/a>, only 3 km from the Ciudad Colon tollbooth on the Caldera highway.<\/p>\n

Or take advantage of a special price on a 6.5 acre view parcel in the hills of Escazu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whether you are looking to build a family compound, private horse stables, or just have room to enjoy a relaxed country lifestyle, these properties have it all: views, privacy, wildlife, and room to spread your wings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
