Full Description:
Southern Costa Rica Views to Panama.
Iâ??ve included details of driving distance and personal comments as if we are driving from the pacific coast of Golfito.if you seek Property Details Only skip down to; Property Description.
Leaving the coastal area of Golfito, we drive out of town on the only Main Road which is paved. 24 kilometers later we reach the Inter American highway at the junction to the town of Rio Claro, turn right and drive to the next town Ciudad Neily which in total driving time will be about 40 minutes or less. The jungle covered mountains which run parallel with the Interamerican highway is our point of interest. Up in the higher altitudes it is pleasant and cooler.
Arriving in Ciudad Neliy we turn left, drive through the busy, well supplied downtown area and we begin to drive up into the highlands, again on the only main road which is well paved. (Pretty hard to get lost around here) we begin our ascent following a recently re-surfaced paved but very curvy road. The scenery is very impressive, thick Virgin Jungle clinging to the sheer Mountain side. We climb and climb, this road is one of the steepest around that I know, and we rise from nearly 50 ft. in altitude to 3000 in less than �½ an hour, we barely get into third gear, before downshifting again to climb yet another very steep curve.
Now and then we catch a glimpse of the scenery down-below, wow! Incredible, we can see the town of Ciudad Neily and beyond; we look out over thousands of Acres of African Palm Plantations and once we reach about 1200 feet we can see the Gulf (Golfo Dulce) in the distance and beyond the impressive gulf we can see the Pacific Ocean, the Osa Peninsula, and further south we can see the point at Pavones (second longest Left (surf) in the world) and beyond sometimes I wonder what other folks do for kicks. I just love living here and never tire of the incredible scenery. Some days driving this same mountain road we are blessed to see the Squirrel monkeys as they frolic and play in the tree tops overhead, then I glance back down just in time to avoid a fallen boulder or two, whip around a pothole or three always keeping in mind not to take the curve to wide as someone forgot to put a up a badly needed guardrail.
You need to realize living in Costa Rica is not for everyone, if you need to have all your Iâ??s dotted, tâ??s crossed, yellow lines on the pavement and a street address on the front of your house, then you came to the wrong place. We prefer, passing cars on curves, (only when necessary) partially stopping your car at stop signs, parking roadside against oncoming traffic that kind of thing, in fact, more than once I thought I was going the wrong way on a one-way street only to realize the cars were just parked on the opposite side of the road against on-coming traffic so that the street appeared to be one-way.
Iâ??m getting off topic.
Property Description
The beauty here is fantastic. Since Iâ??ve been babbling, Weâ??ve climbed nearly 2500 ft in altitude, windows are down, the thick jungle has given way to more open old pastures and people are waving as we pass by, itâ??s cooler and the mountain air smells piney, We turn off the pavement and drive down a dirt road until we arrive at about 2300, the driveway has recently been chopped (yes it is grass/weeds) so we can easily drive up and we find ourselves in the midst of a small clump of hardwoods at the highest point of the property and â??The Choiceâ?? building spot. now this is heaven, eagles sour (vultures) here. The view below is incredible.. Awesome..this is where one would want to build a home with plenty of open windows and spaces any takers?
From this vantage point and in the distance, we see the gulf (the pictures donâ??t do it justice), then looking off to my left I see the coastline of Panama which is south of Costa Rica, whew! Awesome views. There are a couple of building spots up here on the top besides a main home there is a very nice area for a guest house or walking down slightly lower one could even build several small bungalows with distant Ocean Views..the daily noise of life has subsided, it is very peaceful and quiet, a distant waterfall view can be seen if we glance out the back towards the mountains.
The hardwoods planted here are known as Amarillon (Terminalia amazonia), there is a clump of lovely shade trees here at the top and also double as hammock hangs (letâ??s get our priorities straight) If we were to continue down of the edge of our building site one side is too steep and runs down to a creek, the other side is a bit more gentle and hiking down (the grass is way too tall) we get the sense of some fairly easy building area, or planting areas that are not impossibly steep. There is also a bottom road here used by a neighbor to reach the bottom of his property this access could be used as well to access the lower part of the property down to an area that is wooded with thick forest and a stream.
This location turns out to be one of the most pleasant atmospheres available, its only about 20 minutes down to the nearest town which has everything, there is an elementary (country school style) just a couple of kilometers away, the community of people along this dirt road are only a handful and if you had a horse you could ride for hours and go down into the valley nearby where a local Indian population reside and in facts called bajo de los indios.
An Incredible Find!............at an Indredible Price a fraction of what a view lot would cost in other areas of the country.
