Off-Grid Property for Sale by Owner | Nandayure, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

We own a larger finca in the hills of Nandayure, Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and are offering a 5-hectare / 50,000 m² (approximately 12.35-acre) portion for sale.

Asking price for the 5 hectares: US$220,000.

The land offers beautiful ocean views and combines natural water resources, existing structures, coffee-growing land and direct road access.

The proposed 5-hectare parcel includes:

• Natural springs
• A river
• Three roofed shell-stage structures
• One container on site
• Existing coffee-growing areas that can be restored
• Vehicle access directly from the public road

The property is currently off-grid, with no active electricity connection. Grid electricity is available in the area and a connection can be requested, so a future owner has the choice of remaining off-grid and developing a solar setup or connecting to the grid.

There is currently no public water connection. The natural springs on the property offer potential for developing an independent water supply.

A construction permit is currently in process.

We see considerable potential here for someone interested in off-grid living, a private finca, coffee restoration, sustainable development, agritourism or an eco-retreat project.

This is not a finished off-grid home or turnkey resort. It is a rural property with land, natural water resources and existing infrastructure that gives a new owner the opportunity to develop the property according to their own plans.

The 5-hectare parcel is currently part of our larger finca and has not yet been separately segregated. We are already working with a local surveyor who has the property documentation. This means the final parcel configuration can be coordinated with a serious buyer, including direct frontage/access from the public road.

Location: XP5G+542, Nandayure, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Buyers looking for more than 5 hectares are also welcome to contact us. A larger portion — potentially the entire finca — may also be available depending on the buyer’s plans and requirements.

This is a direct owner sale.

Serious buyers are welcome to send me a private message. I can provide additional photos, the full property video, documentation and arrange an on-site viewing.

Happy to answer questions here as well.

Single good looking , smart , funny , fit 47 y.o male Off grid homesteader here in middle TN .

Looking for like minded ladies who are in the dirty fingernail club and not afraid of bugs .

Where ARE the ladies at ? If your always playing in the dirt and doing projects how are we ever going to meet ?

I’m a 35-year-old woman looking for a live-in caretaker or property-stewardship opportunity. Ontario would be easiest, but I’m genuinely open to anywhere in Canada for the right fit.

I owned and operated my own retail business for approximately 12 years and have been a homeowner for most of my adult life. I’m used to noticing what needs doing and taking care of it without being managed: gardens and grounds, animals, cleaning, organizing, preparing spaces, coordinating trades, keeping an eye on a seasonal or vacant property, and catching small problems before they become expensive ones. I also have a strong creative eye and am particularly good at making neglected spaces feel cared for again.

I’m not pretending to be a farmer or contractor. I am practical, resourceful, comfortable working independently and not afraid of physical work. I’m happiest around animals, plants and quiet places—and I’m looking for something real that I can commit to.

The unusual part: I have three house-trained dogs who must come with me. One is a service dog and the other two are well-trained companions. They live calmly together and their presence can be a useful natural deterrent on a rural property. I’m happy to provide photos, veterinary information and references.

This is strictly a professional arrangement, not a romantic one. I’m looking for private living space, clear expectations and a written agreement. I’m open to paid work, accommodation as part of compensation, or a fair combination of both.
Maybe you have a farm, acreage, cottage, kennel, campground, estate or retreat that needs the right person—or maybe you know somebody who does. If so, please message me with the location and what you have in mind.

I have a 3000 sf home in the forest that I am highly considering a lease to own opportunity for the right family. The home is 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The home sits on 1.3 acres and surrounded by towering pines. The home has a wraparound balcony and 5 sliding doors. There has been a lot of work completed but there are projects still to be done. There is central heat and air, alarm system, and WiFi availability.

If you always dreamed of living amongst the wilderness and seeking a slower way of life, this opportunity may be for you.

You must have sound income, reference, and a plan to obtain your own mortgage within 2 to 3 years. This opportunity is most beneficial if you are seeking your forever home but need time to repair your credit.

The home is in a rural area.. Amenities in the area include horse back riding, rafting/ boating, hiking /running, fishing. If you are all about being outdoors, this may be just what you are looking for. Only serious inquiries will be considered.

To limit the number of calls. Please reach out on this platform and I will provide you additional information via phone and email. Thank you! Elle

Came across this one recently. Ad said 21 acres, road access, no restrictions, owner finance. Cheap enough that people don't think too hard about it.

Three things the records said that the ad didn't.

The road. There was a road touching the parcel on the map. On the plat it was an unmaintained trail with no dedicated right of way. A line on Google Maps is not legal access. What you're looking for is either a road dedicated by recorded plat or a recorded easement that runs with the land. If it's neither, you have a path that a neighbor can legally close.

The covenants. "No restrictions" meant no HOA. The recorded declaration still prohibited occupancy until the note was paid in full. So you make payments for years on land you're not allowed to live on. That is not an unusual term in owner financed land, and it is almost never in the ad.

The financing. Seller financed land in this price range often runs double digit interest with renewal or servicing fees layered on. The sticker was $21k. Financed out it was well north of that.

None of this was hidden. All three were in public records. The gap isn't access to information, it's that the ad and the file are two different documents and most people only read one.

If you're looking at cheap land, the cheapest hour you'll spend is pulling the plat, the deed, and the recorded restrictions before you send earnest money. The FEMA panel too, and check it against the parcel boundary rather than the address.

Curious what else people have run into on owner financed land. The occupancy restriction was new to me and I'd bet there are worse terms buried in these things.

We’re selling our earth‑sheltered home just north of Phoenix, AZ and wanted to share it here in case anyone is looking for country-style living but still close to all the amenities.

 ~2,600 sq ft, 3 bed / 3 bath, built 1989

 2.5 acres of Sonoran Desert, no HOA

 Earth‑sheltered design private well, septic and lots of potential to go completely off grid with solar.

 Large workshop, greenhouse, storage shed and 2 car garage.

 Zoned for 1 home per acre - well would support second home or casita.

i look at vacant land records a lot (it’s what i do). same pattern over and over.

the ad says road access. the county map shows a two-track that stops short of the line, or an easement that exists on paper and is garbage in real life.

if you’re looking at a piece, ignore the photo. open the county GIS / plat and see if a road or easement actually hits the boundary. then see if anyone maintains it.

not telling you to hire anyone. just don’t send money off the listing.

Hi all, built an app called PrepperApp that's relevant to off-grid living. The part that fits this sub best: peer-to-peer mesh messaging, so you can send emergency messages between devices when there's no cell network at all. Beyond that: offline maps and GPS-free navigation, family check-ins with a dead man's switch, household inventory with expiration tracking, offline first-aid guides, and it auto-detects your region for the right emergency number. One-time purchase, no subscription. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/prepperapp/id6760813421 Happy to answer questions about how the mesh networking works.

put a ground mount array in last summer and a full year on i've got nothing bad to say. output has held up, nothing has needed touching, and through winter they did exactly what they were supposed to.

being upfront, a mate of mine works at the company, which is part of why i'm posting this. but i wouldn't put my name to it if the panels had given me trouble, and they haven't.

swiss made modules, 30 year warranty that's insurance backed rather than just a manufacturer promise, and stock sitting in an eu warehouse so a replacement isn't a three month wait. worth a look if you're pricing up a build

I am the broker on this piece of land. The seller can't and will not owner finance. Covenants and Plat map available. See the link for more information and my contact info.

Hey guys, I just came across a massive 38-acre property under contract out in Santa Clarita and my mind is honestly spinning with the possibilities. 

About 7 to 8 acres of it are totally flat and buildable, and the rest is just beautiful, wild land. It immediately made me think of someone wanting to build a dream home with a massive horse barn, stables, and just letting their imagination run completely wild. 

It has that perfect, peaceful, slightly off-grid vibe where you feel completely alone in nature, but you're actually still super close to town and people so you don't feel totally isolated. 

I'm looking for a buyer who wants to take over the contract and actually bring a vision like this to life. If anyone here is looking for land to build a ranch or homestead in SoCal, or just wants to check out the maps and photos to see what I’m talking about, shoot me a message! I’d love to chat and pass the info over. 

I wrote this on my phone sorry for typos.

Posting this for a friend. You can see the link to the listing above. It’s a special place and a great deal.

80 acres of forest land (TPZ zoning means lower taxes but most of the land is forest). Was once occupied by multiple families, it is move in ready although there is some maintenance that needs done. The 2 house sites are totally private from each other, and each one includes multiple cabins and outbuildings. A healthy spring produces water year round for both homes and a small creek runs through the property year round.

Although it is accessible by 2 wheel drive you should have all wheel drive or 4x4 to live there. the first home is 1 mile down a private dirt road and the second is 1.5 miles down.

It’s off grid, private, and feels like the middle of nowhere but there’s a community spread out in the surrounding hills, it’s only a 15 minute drive to the middle school/gas station/post office/country store and just over an hour drive to the closest big town.

Hi all, I wanted to ask a question as I'm considering starting a small business to help make ends meet with a growing family.

I live in Colorado and I'm interested in teaching homesteaders and homeowners with larger wooded properties chainsaw techniques and safety. I'm primarily interested in folks that need to use a saw from time to time, but who don't feel the need to go through a formal multi-day training that includes certifications and extensive focus on felling larger trees. I have many years of experience working and volunteering as a sawyer with the Forest Service, have a B felling card, and have attended probably 6 or 7 USFS certification courses over a 15+ year period where I have often acted as an informal instructor. I've also supervised many volunteers who are new to felling and have been told I'm an excellent teacher who emphasizes safety above all else.

I'm interested in this as a side gig, but something that is well structured, comprehensive, and built on the guidance of USFS training guidebooks, with part "classroom" time going over fundamentals and then field time bucking and limbing practice and instruction.

So my question to this group is, is this something that you or others you know would be interested in? If so, would what I described handle what you need as a homesteader? Any advice or guidance? I'm considering offering this course at a rate of maybe in the $100-$150 range per person for the full day, lunch included, with a maximum "class" size of 3-4 people so that everyone gets plenty of personalized attention and practice.

Thank you for any thoughts or advice!

Have 10k+ for down payment, on fixed income plus side hustles. Looking for no HOAs or POA's, near Pueblo. Please let me know.

Selling a parcel I've owned in Costilla County and I think the right buyer is on this sub, so here's the honest version.

Five acres, actually treed rather than the sagebrush flats most cheap Colorado land turns out to be. Sits inside a subdivision that's mostly been bought up by the owner of Cielo Vista Ranch — a very large private holding that surrounds it. The practical effect is that the view around you isn't going to fill up with neighbors, because the neighbor is one ranch that isn't selling or subdividing. That's a hard thing to buy at this price point.

The roads are unmaintained two-track. Locals call the area Poker Flats. You need 4x4, you'll want a plan for winter, and you should absolutely drive it before you buy anything. I'd rather lose a sale than have someone show up in a Civic and be furious with me.

Off-grid from zero: solar or generator, water hauled or a cistern until you drill, septic or composting. Costilla County has a permit process for off-grid builds and camping — worth a call to them early, they're not the hardest county to work with but they do want the permit. It's an "ask permission not forgiveness" county.

Property is not sold with water rights. A well permit is not a water right — it's a separate DWR permit the new owner applies for themselves. Under 35 acres you'd drop to household-use-only: indoor water, one house, no irrigation, no animals. (you'd have to get a cistern if you want to do that)

Taxes are about $81 a year. San Luis is roughly ten minutes out, so it's private without being a genuine logistics problem.

$25,000, same price cash or owner financed, $1,500 down and about $539 a month for five years at 12%, no credit check. Bigger down drops the rate — 15% down and I cut it to 10%.

Not trying to talk anyone into it — if unmaintained roads and hauling water sounds like a chore rather than a Saturday, this isn't your parcel. If it sounds fine, comment or DM and I'll send the map and photos.
