At $159,000, this is the most accessible way into Avancari — and it does not feel like a compromise where it counts.

The building site is large and genuinely workable, comparable to the best pads in the development and well suited to a single-family home with a pool, terraces and proper outdoor living space. Anyone who has spent time shopping for land in the Costa Ballena knows how much that is worth: a flat, generous pad in an established gated community with utilities already at the road removes most of the cost and uncertainty from a build before it begins.

The honest picture of the rest of the parcel: the land runs between two roads and is steep across most of that span, so the usable ground is concentrated in the building site rather than distributed across the acreage. There is also a small slice of ocean view — a glimpse rather than a panorama. We would rather say that plainly than let a buyer arrive expecting the outlook from the higher lots.

What this property offers instead is arguably more practical. You are buying a straightforward, well-positioned homesite inside a gated community with maintained roads, legal water, electricity and fiber optic — and full ownership access to a set of natural amenities that no other development in Ojochal can match, at a price that leaves real budget for the house itself.

As an Avancari owner, that includes the private natural swimming hole with its small cascades, reserved exclusively for owners; the second waterfall at the end of the community trail; and the 100-foot-plus main Avancari waterfall at the top of the development, with its maintained path and dedicated parking. Downtown Ojochal and its restaurants are under ten minutes away, and the beaches of the Costa Ballena about fifteen.
