This property in Quepos represents an excellent strategic opportunity, primarily due to its location in a mixed-use zone. This gives it a versatility that few properties of this size maintain near the town center.
Development Potential: Being in a mixed commercial and residential area, you have three main paths: 1. Commercial Focus (Retail Spaces): Given the proximity to downtown Quepos, the demand for service spaces is high. Idea: Build a two-story building. The ground floor for retail spaces (offices, shops, or medical practices) and the upper floor for an apartment or studio. Advantage: Generation of income from constant rental income. 2. Modern Residential Focus: If you decide to remove the prefabricated structure, the $165/m² is ideal for a contemporary design house. Idea: An open-concept house with high ceilings to mitigate the heat of the area and a small internal patio. Advantage: Living close to all amenities (banks, supermarkets, transportation) without needing a vehicle. 3. Strategic Remodeling: If the prefabricated house's foundation is in good structural condition: Idea: Reinforce walls, update finishes, and modernize the electrical/plumbing system to convert it into an Airbnb-type vacation rental. Advantage: Lower initial investment and faster return on investment. (ref:32700)
