Full Description:

Here’s the bargain you’ve been looking for: a small house on nearly one acre of flat useable land and just 15 minutes to the Bay of Golfito.

Everyone is asking a pile of cash for their properties down here and naturally there are fewer sales. Many of the locals don’t realize it’s a buyer’s market and the world economy is upside down. Everyone thinks “oh, it’ll get better soon”. Soon? In a country where time doesn’t count, soon could be 3 years…… 5 years?

If you’ve been holding out waiting for prices to drop, you don’t have to wait any longer.

The property is located closer to Rio Claro than Golfito, down a short country lane that is about 100 yards to the end. Nothing but farmland and trees on one side of the house. In front there is a large pasture, and in back an even larger pasture with one neighbor on one side (but not close). Yes, it will be quiet.

The small block cement and wood home does not currently have any glass windows or screens. A woman and her two young daughters have been living here for a couple of years. I was a bit surprised to find no windows of any sort but they have never had any mishaps. This is not in an area where anyone just ‘walks past’. The house is very humble and needs to be finished. I suppose it would suffice for a guest house as it’s located up near the front of the property, and a more substantial home could be built towards the center of the lot. With a bit of landscaping this property would look fantastic.

For some reason there are not many properties down here like this. Most homes built off the highway are too close to the highway. I see this as a great opportunity for someone with a limited budget. The house could be finished ‘as is’ and it too would be a cozy place for a single person or a couple.

The property does not have a title, (hence the good price). Submitting the paperwork for a title, landscaping, planting fruit and maybe building a new home, will keep you plenty busy.... and in the meanwhile two years will go by quickly and you’ll have title! Even without it you will still possess all the rights of ownership.

Fruit trees on the property include orange, lime, mandarin, mango, yucca, papaya, rambutan (lychee), plantain, banana, bamboo, cacao (chocolate), and coconut.

Everything that you need.... banks, groceries, hospital, etc.... you will find in Rio Claro (10 minutes away) or Golfito (about 15 minutes). And don’t forget the Bay of Golfito. The Marinas are a big plus if you enjoy the water.
