Approved House Plans Included – A Significant Added Value
What truly sets this property apart is that the current owners have already invested in professionally designed and government-approved house plans.

They spent approximately $15,000 USD to have the plans drawn up by a licensed professional and approved through the proper Costa Rican authorities. As anyone who has built or is in the planning phase knows, obtaining a building permit in Costa Rica requires:

Plans prepared by a licensed architect or engineer
Submission and approval through the Colegio de Arquitectos de Costa Rica (Architectural College of Costa Rica)
Payment of regulated fees and charges set by the government
Because these costs are regulated, they tend to be fairly uniform across the country—and they represent a real, tangible value that is now included in the purchase price of this lot.

A Beautiful 2-Bedroom, 2-Bathroom Design Ready to Build
The approved plans show a lovely 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home specifically designed to take full advantage of the lake views and sunsets.

House dimensions:

Interior living space: 121 m² (approx. 1,302 sq ft)
Total built area (including terrace/covered areas): 203 m² (approx. 2,185 sq ft)
Key features include:

An open, comfortable layout ideal for full-time living or vacation use
A large terrace where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy the panoramic views
Strategic orientation to capture the best vistas and natural light
A design ready to move forward with permits and construction
Photos of the plans are available in the gallery, giving you a clear idea of the home’s layout, flow, and how it sits on the property to maximize those spectacular views. Imagine sitting on that expansive terrace, watching the sun dip below the horizon while the lake shimmers in the distance.
