The Property
After my first visit to El Salvador in 2022, I fell in love with K59. It reminded me of Costa Rica in the late 90s, but with a more performance wave.
Beginning that first visit and continuing over a period of three years, I searched for lots available within the K59 community. Most of the land is owned by local families that have no interest in selling.
The few ocean front lots have long been sold and developed with private homes, with the exception of K59 Surf Resort | Beachfront Surf Hotel El Salvador.
Finally, in July 2025 I was introduced to a gentleman that was willing to sell a 47 x 22 m (154 x 72 ft) portion of his field, which is surrounded by lush tropical forest.
The lot is approximately 400 meters (1/4 mile) from the K59 point break, taking approximately 6 minutes to reach by foot carrying your surfboard.
The property has a rugged unpaved access to the main highway, electric and water service.
I am subdividing and selling two-thirds of the lot, 31 x 22 m or 102 x 72 ft, for a total of $130,000.
I am willing to sell two smaller lots measuring 15.6 x 22m (51 x 72 ft) for $65,000 per lot. Lots 1 and 2 identified in the picture below.
I am keeping and building a home on the remaining portion of the lot.
Below you will find videos I took of the property and aerial images.

Videos of the Property
Video 1 - North Property Line
This video shows the property from the north property line, looking south. The property extends north to south from my filming position to the tree line 47 meters (154 feet) across the field. It extends east to west (22 meters (72 feet), which is approximately from the small bush sized tree my finger is pointing, to the tree/fence line to the right.
The land for sale is the 31 x 22-meter (102 x 72-foot) area beginning at my filming position and extending to the south. This land can be subdivided into two lots measuring 15.6 x 22 meters (51 x 72 meters).
This video shows the property from the east property line looking west. I pan the camera left to the south property line and right to the north property. The gentleman in the video isthe seller and the child is his grandson. His house is east above the property across the street. We intend to create a privacy screen, using hardy vegetation, such as banana trees, the entire width of the land.

Video 3 - South Property Line
This video shows the property from the south property line at the south-west corner looking north. The first 15.6 x 22 meters (51 x 72 feet) from my filming position is the lot that I am keeping to build my home. North of that is the 31 x 22 meter (102 v 72 foot) portion of land for sale, which can be broken into Lot 1 and Lot 2 or sold as a whole. You will notice the massive tree along the west property line, which is situated on Lot 2.
Video 4 - West Property Line
This video shows the property from the west property line and the dirt road along the west property line. Driveways for the lots will be situated off this road. The road runs north to a dead end in the back of the valley, and south to a short walking path that ends at a cross road that leads out to the highway and down to the K59 beach. The community is working on obtaining clearance to convert the walking path into a road to connect the two existing roads. The walking path is currently shown on Google Maps and the government CRN site as being part of the existing road.
Video 5 - Access Road and Street
This video shows the access road that runs along the north property line, as well as the dirt road along the west property line, along which the driveways to the lots will be located. It also provides a view of the land from the north-west corner.

Coastal housing is always a good investment. El Salvador is no longer a "plan B"—it is a premier destination for those seeking stability, safety, and double-digit appreciation.

Investing in a lot at K59 isn’t just about buying land; it’s about securing a stake in El Salvador’s most exclusive and rapidly appreciating "Surf City" corridor. While high-traffic areas like El Tunco have already seen massive surges, K59 offers the rare combination of pristine, world-class surf and high-growth potential for custom-built residences.
A World-Class Surf Asset at Your Doorstep: The value of K59 is anchored by its legendary "right point break," famous for powerful tubes and fast sections.
