CASA CEDRO | MAL PAIS

CASA CEDRO | MAL PAIS, COSTA RICA
$1,200,000 | Owner financing available

New construction. 220 m2 over two levels on a 500 m2 titled lot. Pool. Delivery December 2026.

Casa Cedro completes this December in Mal Pais. 220 square meters of new construction on a 500 square meter lot, held in fee simple and recorded in Costa Rica’s Registro Nacional, with the plano catastrado on file and construction permits already granted.

The house is built around its pool. A pergola-shaded lounge and an outdoor shower sit at the water’s edge, with the sun deck running the length of the garden behind a full privacy wall and mature planting.

Inside, the living room opens to double height. A floating oak stair on a slim black balustrade climbs a natural stone wall that carries both stories, and glass slides away on either side of the room, so the house pulls air through it instead of sealing itself against the climate. The kitchen runs open plan to the dining and living space: island with induction cooktop, table for six. Upstairs, a bedroom opens onto its own balcony above the pool. Air conditioning throughout.

Street side, a covered two-car carport sits behind a slatted timber gate, and the lot is walled on all sides.

MAL PAIS
Mal Pais is the residential end of the peninsula’s most established beach market. Santa Teresa’s restaurants and shops are minutes north, the surf breaks and dive sites that built this coast’s reputation are on the doorstep, and Cabo Blanco reserve closes off the road to the south, which is the reason this stretch has stayed quiet and will stay quiet.

Buyers come here for the same reason they come to Tamarindo or Nosara and then keep driving: it is the version of this coastline that has not been built out.

TITLE, AND WHY IT MATTERS ON THIS COAST
Much of the property on this peninsula trades as maritime-zone concession or as untitled possession rights. Neither is ownership in the sense a foreign buyer expects. Both limit what can be financed, insured and resold, and both tend to surface late in a transaction, usually after money has moved.

Casa Cedro is titled and registered, with the survey plan recorded. That is the cleanest ownership position available in this market, and on this particular coastline it is not the norm.

OWNER FINANCING
Price: $1,200,000
Owner financing is available. Terms on request.

Direct owner financing takes the bank out of the purchase. For a foreign buyer in Costa Rica that is normally the slowest and least predictable part of the transaction, and on a new build it lets a buyer commit ahead of completion without waiting on a mortgage approval that may never arrive.
