A Flat, Airport-Adjacent 3.7 Acre Lot with Direct Access to Airport Runway, Residential / Commercial Zoning, Manicured Landscaping and Beautiful Jungle Mountain Views.

This easy-access land is a gift to specialized property speculators, pilots & aircraft owners, hospitality entrepreneurs, land developers, airport services operators and hobby farmers & permaculturists. With flat land, both residential & commercial zoning and exciting nearby developments (did someone say ‘Brand New International Airport’), a driven buyer with a clear vision for their future can create pure magic & gold here! 

THE LAND & AIRPORT 

The flat 3.7 acre lot, fully & securely fenced along its entire length, borders 140 meters along the western side of Palmar Sur Airport’s property and holds civil aviation permits for direct aircraft access to the airport’s runway. The property sits opposite the terminal building and airport structures which are visible across the field. This airport services general aviation including private activities, business jets, and medevac, and supports daily 35-minute flights to the capital city, San Jose, via Sansa Airlines. The 4,600 foot (1,400 meter) long and 60 foot (18.5 meter) wide asphalt runway caters to aircraft up to regional turboprop size like ATR 42 or Dash-8, as well as many types of common business jets such as Cessna Citation or ERJ-145. In 2019, major renovations were completed – construction of a brand-new terminal building, runway lengthening & widening, and the installation of 24-hour LED runway lighting. 

Flat manicured lawns, majestic trees, huge mature bamboo stands and a fruit tree orchard cover this exquisite piece of property.

USE & DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES 

A pilot-aircraft owner would be in pure heaven here – they could wake up, drink their coffee, walk outside to their plane and be off in minutes! With so much land, a fleet of small aircraft could make their home here with room left over. The property holds civil aviation permits which allow quick and care-free movement between the property and airside grounds. An exclusive pilot-owner community – where multiple private homes with airside access would permit planes to be taxied from the homes’ driveways straight onto the runway – could be a lucrative endeavor. As could be a number of commercial offerings that can cater to the aviation interests. Light industrial or warehousing uses, shops & commercial centers, restaurant, cafes, and many other businesses can be situated inside this land close to the public road.  And let’s not forget about an eco or wellness retreat – this close to so many natural wonders, the property would make a perfect, tranquil base for some serious exploration!

MOUNTAINS, OCEAN & JUNGLES

Just 2km north of the property, the jungle-covered coastal mountains tower nearly 1,000 meters above the lush surrounds. Reminiscent of Hawaiian peaks, the nearly vertical slopes are draped in giant waterfalls during the green season. Jungles cover the lower slopes while cloud forests can be found near the peaks. Just to the south, the Térraba-Sierpe National Wetlands are home to extensive mangroves and plentiful wildlife. This is not surprising as these wetlands connect directly to the world-famous Corcovado National Park, named by National Geographic as the most biologically intense place in the world! Sitting in the middle of an important biological corridor, the property is thus immersed in wildlife – macaws, toucans, oropendolas, sloths, coati, and many other creatures are always around while the nearby wilds host Jaguars, Pumas, Tapirs, and many other elusive animals. And with a canal bordering the property, the songs of frogs will always provide the perfect relaxation soundtrack.
