This is a rare kind of property in Coco Bay Estates, one of the most popular communities near Playas del Coco. This exciting property is neither a bare lot, nor a fully finished home in this gated neighborhood. It is a nearly half acre lot with a finished 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom casita already on it. The best part is that it includes a second flat pad above the casita that is ready for a main home. The asking price is $400,000.
That gives you three clear options. Live in the casita now. Rent it out for income. Or build your dream home on the pad above and keep the casita as a guest house. Not many listings give you all three.
