leading from the yard to the waterfront - which, of course, are designed
with the idea of adding a private pier and dock or moorings off the

parcel along main street Golfito is a GREAT LOCATION for any of a number
of businesses. Plenty of room for off street parking. Municipal green

Terrific Economical Fixer Upper!
This old Banana Company Duplex home needs your TLC. But it does have
the potential to be a cutie! Come ready to fully remodel - with about
$25,000 (my best estimate) for the materials and labor and you could
make a full transformation to your lovely, comfortable retirement
residence or rental. The current layout is quite well planned. The
efficient downstairs living and dining area is roomy - attached to an
open kitchen with a laundry room, bathroom and guest room/office too.
The stairwell leads up to a large common landing area and 3 basic
bedrooms. I can't help but imagine laying this second level out
differently to create 3 small or 2 larger bedrooms and an added bathroom
plus opening it up in front to add a veranda over the entry breezeway
below. The view from the second story is quite nice and you'd be able to
take full advantage of the westerly orientation, enjoying sunsets over
the bay with the right remodel design (see photo on bottom right of adjacent
neighbor unit fully remodeled). Titled. Convenient to town. Tranquillo
corner lot. Bonus car parking area along side of house is deep enough
for a car and boat on trailer. This one will fill the bill for several
of you investors or retirees. Asking $70,000.
"Reduced in
Hope of a Quick Sale" $49,000.
For those of you looking to get a 'foot in the door' in a good area, this
may be your chance. Good Golfito retirement homes don't often come up with
this price point. There's work to be done on this one, but it's a great
location with alot of potential at minimal cost.
Titled 2 story home along the waterfront with view out to
Golfito Bay. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Large veranda on the second floor to
enjoy sunsets....
Very clean and ready to move in. Includes furnishings - and even a
built in Italian style brick oven for pizza making! Listed at

and Cement construction with traditional metal roof. 3 bedrooms and 1
bath. Nice yard. The owner has been absent for a few years and the
maintenance is a bit behind schedule... but just a little TLC and this one
could be polished back to it's full potential. Structurally - it's in good
condition. Asking $82,000.

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

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.

countryside, this area is prime territory to explore if you are looking

apex of an area "gaining momentum" with new neighboring 'up scale'
construction plus a recently launched sales campaign for what promises to
be Golfito's most exclusive housing
development including a golf course, parks and recreational areas.... This
hidden jewel is priced to sell quickly at a fraction of what others are
asking. Clear possession.

Jungle Reserves & Wildlife Areas
Within an area of 3,234
acres, the Golfito National Wildlife Refuge was established to protect a
primary evergreen forest where more than 125 species of trees have been
identified, thus also preserving the watershed for the population of the
region. Golfito is the home of an incredible variety of wildlife
and birds......and this refuge above is a "Birdwatchers Dream Come
True". Other reserves have been established - Both private and
forestry department administered. Living on a property inside a reserve
or bordering the jungle lands is 24 hour entertainment! Property in
Reserve and Parkland areas have certain restrictions including
prohibitions on construction in MANY areas. Title to land within a
National Park or Reserve does not insure your ability to develop
it....and in some cases strictly prohibits your use. Therefore,
prudent investigation with a qualified professional should be realized
before investing
Golfito Rainforest Eco-Retreat Ranch
Just
minutes from the Golfito Bay, this 115 acre titled family farm has more
than ample area for your estate or eco-tourism project development. We
know of no other property that compares offering both a private retreat
into nature and 'the good life' - with such close proximity to town's
amenities and marinas. It’s just about self sufficient!
This 115 acre titled family farm is only 10 minutes from Golfito Bay and
city center- Yet it has all the qualities of a rural self sufficient
retreat with wilderness all around. It’s a strong contender for great
eco-tourism or private estate development sites. Existing construction
includes a well built ranch managers home of solid cement with nice
finish and comfortable details. A big enclosed dining and living porch
lead to the air-conditioned living room, large bedroom, galley kitchen
and bathroom. Fully furnished, it's ready to occupy and overlooks your
sparkling tiled pool and tropical landscaped gardens. Additionally, 2
lovely hardwood artisan cabins offer guests independent living with
their own kitchen, living lofts, private bedrooms and bath. The tropical
roofs give the accommodations a traditional elegance and were
constructed of all native palm materials, a renewable resource harvested
right on the farm. A secure workshop with ample storage and a car port
plus a laundry room are adjacent to the managers house and loaded with
your maintenance tools and supplies. Located on the old railroad route
which is now converted to a public rural road, this farm has
electricity, cellular telephone service and internet plus satellite TV.
Fresh water is abundant with multiple springs on site. Organic fruits on
site include bananas, papayas, avocados, mangos, star fruit, pineapple
and there is more in the way of veggies and herbs. The fertile soil is
quite hospitable for cultivation. At your pleasure, you can be as
self-sufficient as you’d like to be. The current expat owner maintains a
hen house for fresh eggs, 5 cows in the pasture to keep the grass cut!
Plus the ranch horse makes inspecting the property lines, fences,
waterways and trails a pleasure!
What more do you need? How about some of the best bird and monkey
watching in all the country? No kidding. Formerly the site of a popular
tourism project with private guides leading guests through the property
- they boasted a 'guarantee of monkeys and bird sightings' as their
primary feature topped off by a swim at the nearby waterfall with lunch
there on the ranch.
A Great Residence or Rental

bath, large kitchen and utility room, rooftop terrace. Air conditioning
throughout. Professional security system attended by a local
company. This home also 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 or 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 addition over the existing home could
extend over the adjacent lot as well to triple the square footage of
living space relatively economically, and take full advantage of the
view potential this site offers overlooking Golfito Bay. Urban zoning. No
problem pulling building permits. A rare tranquillo cul-de-sac location in Pueblo Civil of Golfito.

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

to complete a property review with the assistance of a qualified attorney
before investing to assure full understanding.
Properties along the Costa Rican coastlines are subject
to Maritime Zone Regulations, National Park and Forest Reserve Laws.
Restrictions Apply.

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
