Property advantages
• The property is located in “Punta Gorda”, an area where the
biggest developments of Guanacaste are in the process of
emerging. “Punta Gorda” starts with the property of Las Catalinas
and finishes with Diamond Point.
• The exclusive area of “Punta Gorda” divides Coco Beach and
Papagayo with the area of Flamingo, making its location unique
in regards to its proximity to both places in Guanacaste.
• It holds views that are very similar to those of the area of
Papagayo, plus an impressive flora and fauna.
31. Property
• Although the area is very much like Papagayo, it is not as
restricted in regulations because it does not have the same legal
zonification than the one in Papagayo.
• The property has always been superbly maintained. Thanks to it
has few areas that have to be kept under an environmental
protection regime and thus more area of the land can be used in
any future development.
• Water has become a big issue for Guanacaste developers but
this property has no problem with that. Because of its proximity
with Ocotal and the Coco Beaches, it can use the water services
of “Coco Water”. In addition, it has its own water wells.
