Atenas, Alajuela, Costa Rica Real Estate Sale | Venta

Mancos, Distrito Escobal, Cantón de Atenas, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica
Offered at $2,200,000 (≈ $12.05/m² · ≈ $48,740/acre)
Costa Rica’s Ruta 27 is the country’s principal commercial corridor — the 77-kilometer, four-toll highway that has linked San José’s metropolitan area to the Port of Caldera and the central Pacific since 2010, cutting what was once a two-hour haul down to about an hour. This 182,618 m² (18.26-hectare / 45.1-acre) parcel sits directly on that corridor in Escobal, Atenas — one of only four toll-plaza towns on the entire route — with roughly 246 linear meters of frontage on the highway’s public right-of-way. For a distributor, logistics operator, agro-processor, or mixed-use developer trying to reach both the Central Valley and the coast, it is difficult to find a site with a more direct read on the province’s main artery and is located here: [hidden information]
The land itself is flat to gently rolling valley bottomland, currently cultivated in sugarcane and open pasture, with an established network of interior ranch roads already crossing the property and a highway underpass connecting the two halves of the site across Ruta 27 — useful both for equipment access and for any future frontage/rear-parcel site plan. Grid electricity is already on site: an ICE (Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad) transmission line crosses the property, and the parcel also runs alongside RECOPE’s national fuel-pipeline corridor, placing it directly adjacent to core national utility infrastructure that most raw land in the area simply doesn’t have. Water service is available nearby. The property has been formally surveyed and registered — Folio Real [hidden information], cadastral plan [hidden information] — so a buyer is working from a clean, current registered boundary rather than an informal or unmeasured tract.
Location works in the buyer’s favor from every direction. Atenas is roughly the midpoint of Ruta 27 between the Greater Metropolitan Area and the coast, within easy reach of Juan Santamaría International Airport, and the Río Tárcoles runs through the immediate area. The surrounding district already carries a mix of small hospitality properties (Casa Mango, Aralia Atenas) and working agriculture, and Atenas itself has built a reputation — including recognition from National Geographic — as having one of the best climates in the world, a draw that keeps commercial and residential development pressure high along this stretch of highway.

182.618 m² sobre la Ruta Nacional 27 — Terreno Comercial / Industrial / Uso Mixto

Mancos, Distrito Escobal, Cantón de Atenas, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica
Precio: $2.200.000 (≈ $12,05/m² · ≈ $48.740/acre)
La Ruta 27 es el principal corredor comercial de Costa Rica: una autopista de 77 kilómetros y cuatro peajes que, desde 2010, conecta el Área Metropolitana de San José con el Puerto de Caldera y el Pacífico central, reduciendo a cerca de una hora un trayecto que antes tomaba el doble. Este terreno de 182.618 m² (18,26 hectáreas / 45,1 acres) se ubica directamente sobre ese corredor, en Escobal de Atenas — uno de los cuatro únicos poblados con plaza de peaje en toda la ruta — con aproximadamente 246 metros lineales de frente sobre el derecho de vía público de la autopista. Para un distribuidor, operador logístico, agroindustria o desarrollador de uso mixto que busque conectividad tanto con el Valle Central como con la costa, es difícil encontrar un sitio con acceso más directo a la arteria principal de la provincia y ubicada aquí: [hidden information]
El terreno es plano a ligeramente ondulado, típico del fondo de valle, actualmente cultivado con caña de azúcar y potrero abierto, con una red de caminos internos ya establecida que atraviesa la propiedad y un paso subterráneo (alcantarilla) bajo la Ruta 27 que conecta ambos lados del terreno — útil tanto para el acceso de maquinaria como para un futuro plan de sitio con frente y fondo. La electricidad de red ya está presente en la finca: una línea de transmisión del ICE (Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad) atraviesa la propiedad, y el terreno también colinda con la servidumbre del oleoducto nacional de RECOPE, lo que lo coloca junto a infraestructura pública clave que la mayoría de los terrenos rústicos de la zona no tiene. Hay acceso a agua en las cercanías. La propiedad cuenta con levantamiento catastral y registro formal — Folio Real [hidden information], plano catastrado [hidden information] — por lo que el comprador parte de una medida registral clara y actualizada, y no de un lote informal o sin mensura.
La ubicación favorece al comprador desde cualquier ángulo. Atenas se encuentra aproximadamente a medio camino de la Ruta 27 entre el Área Metropolitana y la costa, a poca distancia del Aeropuerto Internacional Juan Santamaría, y el Río Tárcoles corre por la zona inmediata. El distrito combina ya pequeños proyectos de hospedaje (Casa Mango, Aralia Atenas) con actividad agrícola activa, y Atenas mantiene su reconocida fama — incluyendo menciones de National Geographic — como uno de los mejores climas del mundo, un atractivo que sostiene la presión de desarrollo comercial y residencial en este tramo de la autopista.
