Sport Fishermen & Retirees
A Great Residence or Rental
When people come to tour property with their
wish-list in hand, I sometimes have to smile. A couple of sport fishing
buddies looking towards retirement might say –
“Well,
something with a couple of bedrooms where with a couple of baths, and I
guess an extra bedroom too- for guests or an ‘office’. Also a good modern
kitchen with room to really cook…. That’d be essential. If it had a back
entry for bringing the fish in for cleaning and maybe a large utility room
to store the ice chests and bait freezer…with a laundry area…that would
all be great…and a patio to BBQ the catch – with a view of the bay of
course...you know, a place to watch sunset over Golfito. Oh yah, and a
place to keep the boat on the trailer that’s not too far from the launch
ramp …with storage for the truck. That’ll save marina fees when we’re not
here. Actually, if it was in the same neighborhood or convenient to the
Marinas that’d be perfect….And please, let’s make sure it’s well
constructed – something on the newer side. You know; sound and secure
because we’ll only be here part time and would rather not deal with a
caretaker when gone or a lot of maintenance when here…We might even think
about renting it out. And can something like that be found here in the
Golfito town center…walking distance to the restaurants markets and
bars…but still private, of course???!!”
Well, if
you’ve been to Golfito you know I’m smiling ear to ear right now. That’s a
TALL order to fill as homes fitting that description are few and far
between”. But here we have it, folks! Newly remodeled, fully furnished, 3
bedroom/2 bath with air conditioning throughout. Plus, a bonus roof top
patio and even a professional security system attended by a local company.
This home includes the adjacent lot - fully fenced with it’s own motion
sensor security system to protect the vehicle storage area for your car
and boat on trailer. If you’d prefer, it could easily be given up to your
construction project. An office, a second home, or simply an addition to
amplify the existing home. A second story could take full advantage of the
view potential this site offers. Urban zoning. No problem pulling building
permits. A rare quiet cul-de-sac location in Pueblo Civil of Golfito.
Very clean and furnished. This would be a natural to offer as a ‘vacation
rental’ when you aren’t in residence.
Asking $195,000.

Ex-Pat's are ♥♥Loving
this
Quiet Countryside Neighborhood...
And here is your chance to get in below market value. Comparable sales
in the area indicate that this should be listed higher. Perhaps this is the
'fixer upper' that many of you tell me you are looking for?! It's got 4 small bedrooms, 2
baths, a service porch and newly tiled living-dining room and kitchen. The
front parking patio is tiled and enclosed with security bars. A
refurbishing was begun and suspended before the listing came in. A buyer
would need to finish the job - but should be able to pull this off
and still net a good under-market investment. The lot is 570 s.m. with
plenty of area for both a large addition and patio in back plus a detached workshop or boat
storage to the side. There are mature fruit trees and a bonus garden along the street in front of the home
that is yours to enjoy as a part of the neighborhoods new community green
zone project. The "neighbors" behind this home are of the 4 legged "moo-ing"
variety, with acres and acres of lovely
pastureland your backdrop is expansive green backed up to a mountain ridge of rainforest
wilderness.

A
PEACEFUL REFUGE amongst the forest offers a cool climate at an
elevation of about 500 meters above Golfito – Heaven for a nature lover!
Almost 300 titled acres gives you several building sites and clear areas
for your tropical gardens. The remains of an old farmhouse stand marking
what would most likely be the prime site for the main home or lodge.
Private trails through the land immerse you in fabulous animal habitats,
wind past streams, under rainforest canopy and to a spectacular huge
waterfall….all within the boundaries of your land. 146 varieties of birds
are recorded in the surrounding area as well as a diverse list of other
native species including monkeys, morphos, anteaters, sloth and more!
This would be a wonderful site for an eco-lodge or private retreat and
guest cottages. The rural road up is maintained year round, making the
trip down the mountain only 15 minutes for provisioning at the bay front
shopping areas or heading out for a day of fun on the water.
There is plenty of fresh
water on site and cellular telephones as well as Direct TV services are a
snap to install. The electric energy would need to be by a self-sufficient
source – most likely a generator.

Golfito Waterfront Properties
A Bay With-in a Bay, you will find no finer yacht anchorage in the tropics
than Golfito. Homes of boat enthusiasts and marina development plans
are catching on like wildfire on the shores of this area. Calm waters with good anchor holding and pier sites plus
the convenience of a bustling port town make this
waterfront zone very desirable - Both commercially and for private homes.
The pacific, gulf and river waterways are a sport fishermen's dream. The jungles behind are full of birds, animals, tropical fruits, trails and
an abundance of pre-Columbian history as this bay was home to one of Costa
Rica's Indigenous fishing communities.
Golfito enjoys the unique and rare ability to offer some of the
only titled properties along the coast of Costa Rica. But outside of
the town center, most properties are along the Maritime Zone or located in
a National Park or Wildlife Refuge Area. Strict regulations and
building prohibitions apply. Zoning Plans may be pending and
applicable building restrictions should be confirmed. Available
documentation on properties are reviewed by Tierra Mar prior to listing
for understanding of the property status to date, but buyers are advised
to complete a property review with the assistance of a qualified attorney
before investing to assure full understanding.

Land
Sea Services is proud of advances made in Golfito to further the
humane treatment of dogs and cats. Community groups such as ZAPPA
and McKee are reaching out to give low and no-cost care to 'under privileged'
and street critters, greatly reducing the population of homeless
animals in our area. Your contributions make possible the Low Cost
and Free Clinics being sponsored by area volunteers and veterinarians.
Each contribution of $10.00 sponsors a dog or cat that wouldn't
otherwise be able to receive vaccinations and spaying - and
wouldn't have been considered adoptable! Your generous
contribution of $200.00 will sponsor a neighborhood clinic with
free services to 20 needy animals. That's a potential
reduction of over 100 unwanted births in a neighborhood in the
first year alone. Do
the math?! It's a loving and needed investment. Please consider
supporting our "pet project" by bringing a donation to
our office when you visit Golfito. Receipts will be given along
with our THANKS! Volunteers for Clinic Days are always
welcome.
