Cabo Cabrón Eco Resort Land

Owning Land at Cabo Cabrón

Cabo Cabrón sits on the same undeveloped stretch of the Samaná Peninsula as Las Galeras and Playa Rincón — reached via El Catey International (AZS), about 45–60 minutes away by paved and then unpaved road, with Punta Cana International (PUJ) as a further option at roughly 3 hours. Because the parcel borders Cabo Cabrón Marine National Park, development here sits within a protected corridor: an asset for a project built around the setting, and a constraint worth understanding upfront.

Bordering a national park means any resort development will go through Ministerio de Medio Ambiente environmental review in addition to standard municipal permitting — we work with environmental consultants experienced in exactly this corridor, since an eco-resort concept here tends to move faster through review than a conventional large-footprint build.

Buying Land in the Dominican Republic — What to Expect

Foreign nationals can buy and hold land in the Dominican Republic with the same property rights as Dominican citizens — there's no restriction on foreign ownership. The standard process runs in four steps:

1. Title verification — before any offer, the parcel's title is verified at the Jurisdicción Inmobiliaria, and for this parcel we also confirm its boundary against the adjacent national park designation.
2. Promise of sale — a contrato de promesa de venta is signed, typically with a 10% deposit held until closing.
3. Notarization and transfer — a Dominican notario público certifies the deed transfer. Transfer tax (3% of registered value) and notary/legal fees (roughly 1–2%) are paid at this stage.
4. Registration — the new title is registered at the Registro de Títulos, usually within 4–8 weeks.

We work with the same lawyers and notaries we'd use for our own family's transactions, and we're on the ground in Samaná to walk the parcel and coordinate environmental review conversations in person.
