Frequently asked questions
Can foreigners buy property in Reserva Conchal?
Yes. Property in Reserva Conchal is titled (fee simple), and foreigners can own it on the same terms as Costa Rican citizens, either personally or through a corporation. I always recommend an independent Costa Rican attorney for due diligence.
Who is the developer?
Reserva Conchal has been owned and operated by FIFCO, one of Costa Rica’s largest companies, since 1996.
How far is it from the airport?
About 50 to 60 minutes by car from Liberia International Airport (LIR). Brasilito is 5 minutes away, and Playa Flamingo and the Flamingo Marina are 10 to 15 minutes away.
Are there HOA fees?
Yes. Fees vary by neighborhood and property type and generally cover security, water, garbage collection, reserves and shared amenities; budgets are voted each year. Beach Club and golf memberships are separate. Ask me for the current figures for any property you’re considering.
Can I rent my home?
Reserva Conchal is one of Guanacaste’s most active rental markets. Each neighborhood has its own rules on rentals, so I check them for every property before you make an offer.
