Land Area: 28,600m2

Location: Right beside the waterfall
General Information:
The property includes 6 rooms, 3-bathrooms as a restaurant structure, with the following features:
Construction style: Primarily wood with an open-air terrace that overlooks the jungle, creating a natural and immersive dining experience.
Restaurant facilities: A functional kitchen, currently basic but fully usable, with potential for upgrades.
Guest areas:
Upper level with wood floors and bamboo furnishings, offering a rustic jungle lodge atmosphere.
Spacious downstairs area finished with tile flooring, suitable for multipurpose use such as events, yoga, workshops, or storage.
Condition: Well maintained, though not concrete/steel construction. The build aligns more with eco-lodge standards, which the market values below modern replacement costs.
👉 Estimated Build Value
Cost for this type of construction is approximately $500–$700 per m². The construction value is in the range of $200,000 – $350,000 USD.
- Land value: $343K–$429K
Construction value: $200K–$350K
Total fair market: ~$550K–$700K
Location Information:
The property is in Platanillo / Baru, Pérez Zeledón, right on the road to Dominical.
Area per plano: 28,600 m² (~7 acres).
The topography looks mixed: part bosque (forest), part tacotal (secondary growth / pasture recovery), some usable flat land by the road.
Access: Right off a public road, not deep in the jungle, so that’s good for visibility. But it’s not “walk to the beach” — it’s 15–20 minutes inland from Dominical.
👉 In this corridor, land prices vary $10–$25/m² depending on view, usability, and water. Your lot is more forest than cleared farmland, so realistically the land value is closer to the low-mid range: maybe $12–15/m².
That alone = $343K – $429K land value.
Loan Purpose:
The funds will be used to develop a 60–80 metre high swing (permits already in place), designed to attract more tourists as a unique adventure experience to complement the existing waterfall attraction. In addition, part of the funds will be invested into further improving the restaurant facilities to enhance the overall visitor experience.
Conclusion:
Money lending is a fast-moving business; we need lenders to understand that and make quick decisions. Keep in mind that borrowers may have already applied to other lending companies. Because of this, we try to close loans as fast as possible.
