Set against the ten-hectare protected Heart Forest that connects the three fincas, Lot 44 brings together a forest-edge setting and an open outlook toward the San Juan mountain range. Facing the sunrise, it offers a beautiful backdrop for mornings at home.
The property is a wide, open rectangle with its own private driveway. Its generous proportions and straightforward building terrain offer an inviting starting point for a family home, with room to consider how living spaces, terraces and gardens might enjoy the mountain views.
Here, the landscape gives the property its character: protected forest alongside, space around the home, and the mountains stretching into the distance. For a family looking to put down roots in La Encantada, Lot 44 offers a setting where everyday life can feel closely connected to nature.
Building feasibility, driveway arrangements and applicable forest-boundary restrictions should be confirmed through site and document review.

La Encantada sits about 3 km from the Playa Guiones south entrance and around 7 minutes by car from Guiones main beach. About 7 km of internal roads connect all lots and are maintained by the Asociación de Propietarios Finca La Encantada; the drive from the road to your building site is the owner's responsibility.
Reached by its own private driveway from the Finca 3 road network. Straightforward building terrain.
Infrastructure at La Encantada is built, not planned. Water comes from local wells and infrastructure reviewed by AyA, and the community water service is managed by ASADA Las Delicias. Water availability letters for all lots have been secured at the development level; each buyer requests their individual letter through ASADA. Water reaches the base of every lot; bringing it onto the lot is the owner's cost.
ICE electricity runs along the main road and fibre internet is available within the finca; owners apply for service and arrange the connection to their home. Each home's on-site wastewater system is planned as part of its design and construction.
La Encantada is developed under a registered Ecological Easement Covenant, monitored in perpetuity by CEDARENA. Every owner joins the Asociación de Propietarios Finca La Encantada, the owners' association; annual dues are shared in the property package.
| Covenant footprint | At most 15% of the lot. This is a ceiling, not an allowance: see Building potential |
|---|---|
| Land use | At most 15% built, at least 40% protected, and the remaining 45% for light agriculture, gardening or voluntary conservation |
| Height | Up to two floors above ground |
| Protection | At least 40% of the lot preserved |
| Subdivision & fencing | Not permitted |
| Commercial use | Not permitted; rentals of four weeks or more allowed |
Plan on one principal home of up to 300 m², all floors combined.
Under Costa Rica's updated national subdivision rules (INVU, Reglamento de Fraccionamientos y Urbanizaciones, Article 32, as amended in 2026), an agricultural parcel such as this one may qualify for one single-family home of up to 300 m² of total construction area, subject to coverage limits and individual permits. That is 300 m² in total, not per floor.
The national framework allows up to 25% total coverage for qualifying uses, of which at most 10% for residential and related uses. This is not 25% residential buildability. The covenant's 15% is a separate ceiling. These limits come from different rules; the strictest applies, and none of them is a building allowance in itself.
Whether a detached guest house is possible should be verified with the municipality by your architect. Pools, garages, roofed terraces and other accessory buildings need specific review and approval. Before finalising plans, obtain a lot-specific municipal land-use confirmation and an architectural feasibility review.
Regulations continue to evolve, so confirm how these rules apply to your lot with your architect or builder before you submit your designs. How building limits work
Documents on file for each sale: the individual plano and registral report (informe registral), visado and uso de suelo where issued, registered easement documents, HOA documentation, and sales contract and addendum templates.
Next steps: request the property package for Lot 44, schedule a site visit, and meet the owners. Your own lawyer and surveyor confirm title, plano and restrictions.
Concepts are illustrative. None establishes permitted use, buildability or financial performance; your advisers confirm these with the property package.
