Apartment Building with Penthouse on 6,240 m² in Ballena

Located in Ballena, between Uvita and Ojochal, this property combines a tropical apartment building with substantial grounds for future expansion. Five independent accommodations, water and electricity, and frontage on a well-traveled public road offer flexibility for residential use, tourist accommodation and potential commercial activities.

The sale includes the entire property: two lots totaling 6,240.91 m² and a three-level building with four one-bedroom apartments and a one-bedroom penthouse.

Tropical Architecture

The architectural concept was developed with the participation of Gensler, with an emphasis on climate and connection to the surrounding landscape. Bioclimatic principles incorporate shade, airflow and outdoor spaces that complement daily life within each unit.

Terraces extend the living areas, offering places to dine, relax or spend time outdoors. This connection gives the building a residential character and a distinct identity within the local accommodation market.

Four Independent Apartments

The first and second floors each have two apartments. Every apartment includes one bedroom, a kitchen, a living room and a terrace.

The layout gives guests independent spaces for cooking and relaxing, including during extended stays. Owners can tailor the property to short-term rentals, longer stays or a combination of both.

Third-Floor Penthouse

The top floor features a spacious one-bedroom penthouse with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, bathtub, closet and terraces.

It can serve as a higher-category accommodation or a private residence for the owner while the four apartments remain available for rental.

Space for a Next Phase

The 6,240.91 m² grounds are a central part of the offering. Beyond the existing building, there is space to explore additional accommodations, a pool with lounging areas, gardens and shared outdoor spaces.

This allows a buyer to consider a phased expansion, starting with five existing accommodations and shaping future additions around their plans.

Utilities & Commercial Potential

The property has water and electricity, along with frontage on a well-traveled public road that provides access and visibility.

The frontage offers potential for a restaurant, café or another business serving guests, local residents and visitors. It provides a further development opportunity alongside accommodation expansion.

Between Uvita and Ojochal

Ballena offers access to the beaches and outdoor activities of Costa Rica’s South Pacific, as well as the restaurants, shops and services of Uvita and Ojochal.

For a buyer seeking an entire apartment building with additional land, the property brings together existing accommodations, space for personal use and opportunities for future expansion.
