Full Description:

Excellent Price, ExcellentOpportunity-Best by Far

The waters of the Golfo Dulce are rich in Game Fish and some of the best Sport-fishing In Costa Rica.

The Pacific has incredible Fishing for Sailfish, Roosterfish, Tuna, Dorado, Wahoo, Marlin, Snapper and more! Whales occasionally call in, and three species of dolphin-bottle-nosed, black spotted and spinner frolic in the gulf, which is charged with luminescent microbes after sunset!

Classic Banana Company House

This wooden two-story, including two baths and three bedrooms is located in the most exclusive neighborhood of Golfito called the Zona Americana (American Zone). This was the exclusive white-collar neighbor during the Chiquita Banana Era. Today it is still the best neighborhood around; a typical re-modeled house today starts in the $400,000 range and can go up to $4,000,000! There are only 42 homes in existence in this historic part of town.

The large, flat ¼ acre lot (1078m2) is lined with tall hibiscus shrubs and includes many mature fruit trees, mango, lemons, bananas, heliconias and ornamental gingers. There is plenty of space to expand the gardens or build your Dream Pool.

The house was recently fully remodeled both inside and out. The electrical and plumbing systems are new, the original hardwood floors have been restored; the kitchen has been upgraded with solid wood cabinets and granite counter tops. New large aluminum windows not only permit light to fill the bright cheery kitchen space but also allows for incredible jungle-mountain views. If you’ve never had the pleasure of living in an older wooden home, they are wonderful, imagine your own wooden bungalow near the Bay!.

The main entry to the home is on the second floor, where you enter a light filled living room. There are two bedrooms on this floor with a shared bath in-between. The downstairs has a large third bedroom with its own entrance, office and washroom areas and storage room as well. There is a long garage with plenty of space. Because the house has road frontage on both sides, a pull through driveway could easily be built for boats and trailers.

The house and lot have frontage on two streets, and located about 100 yards from the 5-star luxury Hotel Casa Roland Golfito. This Hotel really is an incredible landmark; you’d have to see it to believe it, really! It’s nicer than most in San Jose, including conference rooms, large exercise gym with all the machines, several bars, a movie theater, tennis courts and the pool is the largest I’ve seen anywhere in these parts. For a small entrance fee it’s a great way to spend a lazy afternoon lying, eating and drinking poolside!

Homes in this neighborhood hold their values, upgraded homes, such as this offering at $245,000 is a far better bargain then others starting at $350,000 that have not seen paint in years, nor have they ever seen any upgrades.

This is by far ‘the bargain’ in ‘the zone’ (American zone that is)
