Home for Sale in Santo Domingo, Just 10 Minutes from Playa Sámara

This cozy home is located just a 10-minute drive from Playa Sámara, in the peaceful village of Santo Domingo — a small, friendly community nestled in the first hills behind Sámara. Thanks to its slightly higher elevation, the area enjoys a cooler, more refreshing climate and is surrounded by lush greenery and nature.

In Santo Domingo, you’ll find a small convenience store for all your basic needs, a local church, a football field, primary public school, a community center, and a warm, welcoming neighborhood atmosphere.

The property features an 1,132 m² lot and offers:

2 bedrooms

2 bathrooms

An open-concept kitchen and living area

A laundry room/bodega

A beautiful, covered terrace overlooking the green landscape

a second terrace, ready to build a second house One side of the property borders a small creek that flows during the rainy season, adding a charming, almost storybook touch to the surroundings. A spacious second terrace in the backyard is already prepared for building another home—perfect if you’d like to live in one house and rent the other. There’s also plenty of room in the garden to add a pool if desired.

The main entrance to the house is equipped with a ramp for easy access. The garden area offers plenty of space for a future guest house, a swimming pool, or simply to keep as a lush green area. The covered parking area adds convenience, while the slightly sloped terrain naturally prevents water accumulation during the rainy season.

Completed in 2024, the home is surrounded by newly planted tropical plants that will soon provide even more privacy and a vibrant, tropical garden feel.

Partial furnishings are included in the sale.

This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone looking to live close to the beach while enjoying the serenity, fresh air, and natural beauty of Costa Rica’s countryside.

Good to know

Buying in Costa Rica

Can foreigners own property here?

Yes. Foreign nationals have the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens and can hold titled property in their own name, a company, or a trust - no local partner required.

What are the typical closing costs?

Closing costs are largely set by law and usually total around 3.5-4% of the price, covering transfer tax, stamps and notary fees, plus legal due-diligence.

How does the buying process work?

Usually 45-90 days: a letter of intent with a deposit in escrow, title due-diligence by your attorney, a purchase agreement, then closing before a notary who registers the transfer.
