The area
Santa Cruz town is the folkloric heart of Guanacaste, with a central plaza, cattle-country heritage and the Liberia international airport about an hour away. The municipality reaches Pacific beaches including Tamarindo, Flamingo and Playa Junquillal, where tourism, golf and gated communities drive prices.
The dry season runs from December to April, and water supply matters, so verify wells or municipal water. Compare Tamarindo, Flamingo and Santa Teresa for the coast.
Costa Rica ownership essentials
Foreigners have the same property rights as citizens, but the maritime zone within 200 metres of the high-tide line is different: the first 50 metres is public and the rest is by concession, which foreigners can hold only after residency. Hire a lawyer to check the title at the National Registry, that the plot has a legal access road and that the water is secure.
Transfer costs are roughly 3 to 4% including taxes and fees, and an annual municipal property tax of about 0.25% applies. See our Costa Rica buying guide, Costa Rica financing and the Costa Rica page.
