Atenas, Alajuela, Costa Rica Real Estate Sale | Venta

Large blocks of land close to town that come with utilities and municipal zoning approvals rarely reach the market in Atenas. This property is 72,935 m² (about 18 acres) in Mercedes de Atenas.
Zoning already certifiedThe Municipality of Atenas has issued three land-use certificates (usos de suelo) for this property. They approve:

Hotel
Country Club (Club Campestre)
Residential Development: Condominium or Urbanization

The property is in the “Centralidad Densa Integral” zone under the Plan GAM 2013, where these higher-intensity uses are allowed. The certificates have no expiration date unless a future Plan Regulador provides otherwise. A buyer can start with the design and permit stage instead of first asking whether the use is allowed.
Infrastructure in place

Electricity on site
Two water taps
Fiber-optic internet
Deep water well with a large storage area. In the Central Valley, your own water source is one of the most valuable things a large property can have, and it is often the deciding factor for a development.
An older existing home, which can be restored as a caretaker’s house, a site office or a first residence while you plan the rest

What you could build

A small community: a boutique condominium or a group of villas for expats and retirees who want Atenas’s climate with neighbors nearby
A boutique hotel or wellness retreat, with hotel use already approved
A country club or event venue: pool, restaurant, sports, weddings
A private estate or working farm: orchards, horses, gardens and plenty of privacy, about 10 minutes or less from town
A mixed-use project that combines several of these

You get the size, the water, the utilities and the zoning approvals in one place.

7.3 Hectáreas en Mercedes de Atenas con Usos de Suelo Aprobados para Hotel, Club Campestre y Desarrollo Habitacional: Servicios Instalados

Usos de suelo ya certificadosLa Municipalidad de Atenas emitió tres certificados de uso de suelo para esta finca. Aprueban:

Hotel
Club Campestre
Desarrollo Habitacional: Condominio o Urbanización

La finca está en la zona de “Centralidad Densa Integral” del Plan GAM 2013, donde se permiten estos usos de mayor intensidad.

El comprador puede empezar directamente con el diseño y los permisos, sin tener que averiguar primero si el uso está permitido.
Infraestructura instalada

Electricidad en la propiedad
Dos pajas de agua
Internet por fibra óptica
Pozo profundo con amplia área de almacenamiento. En el Valle Central, contar con fuente de agua propia es de lo más valioso que puede tener un terreno grande, y muchas veces decide si un desarrollo es posible.
Una casa antigua existente, que puede restaurarse como casa de cuidador, oficina de obra o primera residencia mientras se planifica el resto

Lo que se puede desarrollar

Una pequeña comunidad: un condominio boutique o un grupo de villas para extranjeros y jubilados que buscan el clima de Atenas con vecinos cerca
Un hotel boutique o centro de bienestar, con el uso hotelero ya aprobado
Un club campestre o lugar para eventos: piscina, restaurante, deportes, bodas
Una finca privada o productiva: frutales, caballos, huertas y mucha privacidad, a 10 minutos o menos del centro
Un proyecto mixto que combine varios de estos usos

Tamaño, agua, servicios y aprobaciones de uso de suelo, todo en una sola propiedad.
