Hacienda Matapalo gets
permit for its main road
Special to A.M. Costa Rica
Hacienda Matapalo www.haciendamatapalo.com has received a permit to begin work on the main interior road, which will go from the property frontage all the way up to the 125-acre nature preserve. This road will provide easy access up and down the property without the need for horses, developers said.
“Our road team is ready to begin work, the equipment is on its way to the property today” said partner Edwin Acosta.
This road can be accessed directly from the Costanera highway along the Pacific coast, which is being raised, widened and paved. The finished Costanera Highway will reduce the drive from the new international airport proposed for the Sierpe Valley) to the top elevations of Hacienda Matapalo to only about an hour, said developers.
The new Costanera is making significant progress on a daily basis. Nearly all of the bridges from Quepos to Matapalo are being rebuilt or replaced with many of them already completed. This stretch between Quepos and Dominical connect the Central Pacific Coast with Costa Rica’s Southern Zone and the Osa Peninsula. It had been gravel with frequent outages in bad weather.
The completion of the new Costanera highway coincides with Hacienda Matapalo’s expected delivery of their Phase One condominiums and villas, the developers said.
