The location is ideal not only for its proximity to the ocean – it also has easy access to key amenities that draw foreign investors. Just a few miles from the site, a paved highway connects you to Playa Tamarindo (one of Costa Rica’s biggest tourism hubs) in only 20 minutes and the Liberia International Airport (LIR) in an hour.

Private schools, supermarkets and private medical care are all within a 15-20-minute drive of the property. Hacienda Pinilla, a world-famous golf course community, is only a few blocks away, as well as Rhythmia, one of Guanacaste’s most popular plant medicine facilities.

Yet as the name suggests, this property is tucked back into a quiet spot in the idyllic peace and quiet of Costa Rica’s tropical forest. A gated community established at The Hideaway would appeal to a diverse audience of prospective buyers, from young families relocating to Costa Rica to retiree surfers.

The land’s gentle topography provides for dozens of potential homesites. Current owners have created ten construction-ready terraces with some of the best views, as well as an access road that connects them all to the entrance. It is lightly forested with ample space cleared among gorgeous old growth trees; a new owner could move forward without much cutting or Earth-moving.

There are clear signs that development in Avellanas will continue – several key commercial parcels located close to the break have recently sold at prices in the $40-70 per-square-meter range. Residential real estate values are at an all-time high in the Avellanas area, along with demand for single family homes.
