Why this property
A prime commercial lot strategically located on Route 3, the main artery connecting San Mateo and Atenas. It offers unusual visibility and accessibility, an ideal foundation for a commercial venture or for a housing and rental development at the heart of the region's growing eco-community movement.
It sits right next to Ecovilla San Mateo, benefiting from the traffic and residents of that large eco-community, five minutes from La Ecovilla and two minutes from the Real World School, which brings a steady flow of families, residents and visitors past it.
The terrain suits multiple constructions, and the lot is adjacent to the Quebrada Vargas, which adds both aesthetic and practical value. It sits within the sphere of influence of several intentional communities.
Its potential is versatile: eco-tourism services, a natural products store, a café, an organic market, community services — or a well-situated housing and rental complex serving the nearby communities.
