THE LOCATION Some places still hold the rhythm of old Costa Rica. Tempate is one of them. Cattle graze beneath guanacaste trees, neighbors gather at the plaza after Sunday mass, and evenings arrive with the sound of wind moving through the valley. It is a town that has quietly kept its character while the coast nearby has grown into one of the most sought-after destinations in Central America. Playa Potrero is 15 minutes away. Beyond it lie Playa Flamingo and its new marina, with slips, boating services, dry storage, shops, and restaurants, as well as Las Catalinas, a 1,200-acre beach town laced with more than 50 kilometers of oceanfront hiking and biking trails. Life here offers the best of both worlds: rural serenity at home, the Pacific within easy reach. That reach is set to shorten. A direct road connecting Tempate to Potrero is now in design and has been named a key municipal priority by the Canton of Santa Cruz. THE PROPERTY Finca Tempate spans 566,665.60 m², approximately 56 hectares or 140 acres, and reveals itself gradually. Level pastures near the road give way to rolling terrain that climbs toward elevated vantage points, where the valley spreads out below and the mountains frame the horizon. It is the kind of land that invites a slow walk at dawn and rewards it. The groundwork is already in place. More than 277 meters of public road frontage, electricity, and water service provide immediate usability, while a private well offers something increasingly precious in Guanacaste: water independence. For a farm, orchard, equestrian operation, or self-sufficient homestead, it is an essential foundation. Whether envisioned as a private sanctuary, a regenerative agricultural project, a family compound, or a thoughtfully planned community, Finca Tempate offers the scale and freedom to build it. Land of this size, with access, utilities, and its own water source this close to the coast, is becoming genuinely rare.
