Location is everything in real estate.
And when you combine an exceptionally strategic location with 12,734 m² of land and approximately 200 meters of road frontage, you have an opportunity that deserves serious attention from developers, investors and businesses looking for a long-term foothold in Atenas.
This property is located directly along the radial road connecting Atenas with Highway 27, just 650 meters from the center of Atenas and approximately 2.4 km from Highway 27.
At US$2,900,000, this is not simply land for sale.
It is a strategically positioned development site in one of Costa Rica's most desirable Central Valley communities.
The property occupies an unusually advantageous position.
You are close enough to downtown Atenas to benefit from the community's existing population, businesses and services, while being positioned on a major radial route connecting the town with Highway 27.
That gives the property an important combination of:
• Proximity to downtown
• Highway 27 connectivity
• Significant road frontage
• Mixed-use positioning
• Public water availability
• Public electricity availability
• 12,734 m² of development-scale land
For a developer or commercial user, these are not minor details.
They are the foundation of the investment opportunity.
One of the property's strongest characteristics is its approximately 200 meters of frontage along the road.
That kind of exposure can be extremely valuable for a commercial or mixed-use project.
Rather than being tucked away behind another property or accessed through a narrow private road, this property presents itself directly to traffic moving along the radial.
For the right project, the frontage could provide opportunities for:
Multiple access points
Commercial visibility
Signage and exposure
Internal circulation
Phased development
Different commercial or mixed-use components
Of course, the precise configuration would be determined by engineering, zoning, municipal requirements and the final development plan.
But the raw positioning is difficult to replicate.
The property is identified as having mixed-use potential, making it particularly interesting for a buyer who wants flexibility rather than a property restricted to a single residential concept.
Depending on applicable zoning, permits and feasibility studies, potential concepts could include:
• Commercial development
• Retail or service businesses
• Professional or office space
• Commercial-residential projects
• Small-scale industrial or business uses
• Warehousing or distribution-related uses
• Automotive or service-oriented businesses
• Mixed-use development
• A phased investment project
The current listing specifically identifies the property as a potential location for a future commercial or industrial enterprise.
That opens the door to a much broader range of potential buyers than a typical residential land listing.
This is perhaps the statistic that really puts the opportunity into perspective.
650 meters.
That is approximately the distance from the property to central Atenas.
At the same time, Highway 27 is only approximately 2.4 km away.
You therefore have an unusual combination:
This is precisely the type of location that can become increasingly valuable as a community grows.
The property has access to public water and electricity, an important consideration for any buyer evaluating a development site.
The exact capacity, connection requirements and availability for a proposed project should naturally be confirmed through the relevant authorities and utility providers.
But compared with a remote rural parcel where a buyer must first solve basic infrastructure challenges, this property's existing access to utilities adds another layer of practicality.
At 12,734 m², the property offers substantially more flexibility than a conventional commercial lot.
The opportunity is not necessarily to construct one building and stop.
A sophisticated buyer could evaluate the property as a larger integrated development site, potentially incorporating several complementary uses.
Imagine a project where commercial activity faces the radial while other components are positioned deeper within the property.
Or a phased development where the land is developed incrementally as market demand dictates.
Or a project designed around the needs of a particular business or industry.
The size gives the buyer room to think strategically.
This property could appeal to several different types of buyers.
For developers, the combination of size, frontage and location creates the possibility of studying a larger-scale project rather than a single building.
For an established business, this could represent an opportunity to control a strategically located property rather than continuing to lease.
For an investor, the property offers exposure to a central Atenas location with significant frontage and multiple potential future uses.
Businesses that depend on accessibility, visibility and proximity to population centers may find the location particularly compelling.
For investors thinking long-term, controlling a property of this scale near the center of a growing community can provide strategic value beyond its current use.
That answer should be determined through professional zoning, engineering, environmental and financial feasibility analysis.
But the property gives the buyer an unusually strong starting point:
12,734 m².
Approximately 200 meters of road frontage.
650 meters from downtown Atenas.
2.4 km from Highway 27.
Mixed-use potential.
Water and electricity available.
That is a combination worth investigating.
Properties with substantial acreage are available outside Atenas.
Commercial properties exist closer to town.
And smaller development lots can be found throughout the Central Valley.
But finding a property that combines development-scale land, major road frontage, mixed-use potential, proximity to downtown and Highway 27 connectivity is considerably more unusual.
For the right buyer, this isn't simply an acquisition.
It could be the foundation for a significant commercial or mixed-use project in Atenas.
Aerial photographs can show you the size.
Maps can show you the location.
But standing on the property and seeing the road frontage, traffic flow, relationship to downtown and connection toward Highway 27 is what allows the potential to become tangible.
If you are looking for commercial land, mixed-use development property, an investment site, a business location or a strategic development opportunity in Atenas, this property deserves a closer look.
