Lot 80, El Prado: The Crown Jewel of Las Catalinas’ Premier Homesites

Where Vision Meets Opportunity in Las Catalinas

In the world of high-end real estate, truly exceptional opportunities are rare. Lot 80 in the coveted El Prado neighborhood of Las Catalinas is one of those rarities—offering an unrivaled blend of location, design potential, and development readiness. This is not just a piece of land. It is a canvas for crafting one of the most luxury homes in Las Catalinas, a home that can be designed, built, and enjoyed without the delays and complexities that typically accompany prime coastal lots.

At 749 square meters and uniquely positioned with its broad side facing the Pacific Ocean, Lot 80 offers nearly 95 feet of ocean-facing living space—an extraordinary layout in a town where views are prized and space is at a premium. With uninterrupted panoramas of Dantita Beach, the Pitahayas Islands, and endless golden sunsets, this homesite is the definition of prestige.

 

A Seamless Path to Building Paradise

What elevates Lot 80 above other properties for sale in Las Catalinas is not just its premier location and views—but its readiness. While many ocean-view lots remain years from being build-ready, Lot 80 is nearly set for immediate construction. Fully conceptual architectural plans have already been completed by one of the area’s most acclaimed design teams. These plans can be transferred to the buyer, significantly reducing the design and permitting process.

Municipal and HOA approvals are already well underway. This means a future owner could break ground in a matter of weeks—not years—offering a tremendous time and cost advantage in one of Costa Rica’s most desirable real estate markets.

For high-net-worth buyers who value both speed and sophistication, this is an investment-ready platform for building a statement home or a standout income-generating asset.

 

A Home Designed to Be Legendary

The conceptual plans for Lot 80 were created by a visionary couple who previously set the highest resale record in Las Catalinas—a testament to their understanding of architecture, luxury, and market appeal. They partnered with one of the region’s top architects to envision a luxury residence designed for entertaining, serenity, and oceanfront living.

The lot is fully permitted for up to 822 m² (8,850 sq ft) of construction. It allows for one or two structures, providing the flexibility to build an expansive primary residence, a pair of income-producing vacation rentals, or a combination of both. Imagine an estate with a main villa, a guest casita, panoramic infinity pool, rooftop terraces, and expansive indoor-outdoor living—the lifestyle vision here is limitless.

This is a unique offering among real estate for sale in Las Catalinas, where very few lots with this scale, orientation, and readiness remain.

 

The Luxury of Location: Living in Las Catalinas

Las Catalinas is more than a place—it’s a philosophy of community, sustainability, and elegance. Modeled after a Mediterranean village and set along Costa Rica’s famed Gold Coast, Las Catalinas is a walkable, car-free beachfront enclave where nature and architecture coalesce.

Lot 80 is located just a short stroll from El Prado’s central park, direct beach access, and the town’s heart, where you’ll find artisan shops, upscale restaurants, and vibrant plazas. Owners in Las Catalinas enjoy:

  • Exclusive access to the Las Catalinas Beach Club, featuring multiple pools, a state-of-the-art gym, restaurant, and boutique retail.

  • Over 1,000 acres of protected tropical forest with miles of hiking and biking trails and abundant wildlife.

  • Year-round events including triathlons, music festivals, film nights, and local markets.

Just 10 minutes away lies the new Flamingo Marina, ideal for yachting and sportfishing enthusiasts. World-class international schools, such as La Paz and CRIA, are a 15-minute drive, while Liberia International Airport—with direct flights to major cities across North America and Europe—is just 45 minutes away.

As one of the most sought-after luxury communities in Central America, Las Catalinas offers unmatched lifestyle appeal and enduring value.

 

A Smart Investment in Coastal Prestige

In today’s luxury market, where demand for space, privacy, and access to nature is higher than ever, Las Catalinas stands as a benchmark for sustainable luxury living. The community’s limited land availability, combined with increasing international interest, means that well-located, build-ready homesites like Lot 80 are exceedingly rare.

Whether you intend to create a personal sanctuary, a vacation retreat, or a dual-purpose investment property, Lot 80 offers immediate development potential with high appreciation upside. The lockstep of strong rental demand, architectural flexibility, and prestige location makes this one of the top investment-grade properties for sale in Las Catalinas.
