This property in Altos del Cacique gives you two ways to own in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Playas del Coco. You can buy the build-ready lot for $170,000 and build from the included plans, or buy the finished home for $679,000 and move right in.
The lot is the headline. It is not raw land. The slow, costly site work is already done, and the plans for a 3-bedroom, single-story home come with it. If you would rather skip the build, the finished-home option is turnkey. Either way, you are buying into the same sought-after part of Coco.

Two Ways to Own It
Here are the two options at a glance.
- Build-ready lot — $170,000. Graded, serviced, and ready to build, with house plans included.
- Finished home — $679,000. A move-in ready house with a pool. Seller financing available.
The lot from above, with the site work done. Grading, a retaining wall, the septic, and the pool excavation are all in.
Option 1: The Build-Ready Lot ($170K)
This is the part that matters most. On most land you would spend months and a lot of money on grading, a retaining wall, and a septic system before you could even start a house. Here that work is done, so you can move straight to building.
- The lot is graded and ready
- A retaining wall is built
- A septic tank is installed
- The pool hole is already dug
- Electricity and water are connected and current
- Plans for a 3-bedroom, single-story home are included
You start from a graded, serviced lot with a pool hole dug and approved plans in hand. That saves you time, money, and the wait that comes with permits.
The Included Plans
The lot comes with plans for a 3-bedroom, single-story home. A one-story layout keeps building simple and works well for easy, step-free living. Because the design is done, you skip that step and start building sooner.
Option 2: The Finished Home ($679K)
If you would rather not build, the same property is offered as a finished, move-in ready home for $679,000, with seller financing available. Here is what it offers.
- A calm, comfortable home with modern finishes
- Bright, spacious living areas with lots of natural light
- Multiple bedrooms, with a master suite and en-suite bathroom
- A private pool and a large patio
- A well-equipped kitchen with quality appliances
