Under Contract Best View Property San Vito28 Acres

Off Mkt. Under Contract. This is the Absolute Best, close to town, great Mountain Views, exclusive neighborhood. This property is bordered on one side by a creek and the other side has a larger flowing stream, in fact in rainy season there is a nice, forested area inside the property where a lovely house could be built, very private and youâ€™ll be able to hear the water falling down below and at the same time have such incredible views. Died gone to heaven kind of stuff. The area is known as Linda Vista (Beautiful View) and is one of the most sought-after locations in San Vito. The larger quality constructed homes can be found in the vicinity and the views are magnificent. We have found most North Americans desiring a larger quality home appreciate the convenience of this area Linda Vista, it is only 2 kilometers from center of San Vito, the mountainous neighborhood has a bit of affluence, some of the larger retailers in the area have built some quite spectacular homes around so it just has a good feel. Currently the owner has a few head of cattle here, perfect for horses, goats or any others. Itâ€™s open pastures now except along the sides, the trees have stayed and provide protection for the water shed. The Center of the property is ready for your planting, and thatâ€™s half the fun about buying in Costa Rica, so much can be planted and grows so quickly. Fun to watch your design come to life. In fact itâ€™s this property I feel itâ€™s in the middle of the best neighborhood around. What more could one ask for. Prices were kinder just last year, they are going back up again, Costa Rica is witnessing a surge of buyers at the moment and better deals are being purchased as you read this, but still they are not anywhere near where they should, could and will be. Linda Vista has only a couple large tracts of land available, this one fortunately is probably the best deal had there been a better we would have heard about it. Someone must step up to the plate. The rewards will be great. We are talking about 28 Acres for $200,000 US Dollars. That comes out to $1.76 /mts. Ten Years ago prices were around $5/mt then up to $10/mt. so you could charge at least $10-$25/mt. if you were to carve out a couple of lots sell or build, of if you just wanted to get an idea of values in the area. Play w/the numbers there are all ways to see this opportunity. Great for family and friends. There simply are no large lands like this in Linda Vista at this price. A true bargain if you know the area and the market here, this is fact! If you are a builder and looking for an opportunity to buy, build, split off and sell, this is by far the best opportunity around, again Fact! Selling quality homes in this prime area of San Vito just doesnâ€™t get any better. Many ask for a 3 bedroom American style home and there are none. San Vito is still in discovery, itâ€™s friendly agricultural community is flourishing. Yes we are further away from San Jose, but thatâ€™s the point!

San Vito 67 Acres Chocolate FarmOff-Grid sustainable primary forest

The land will provide you with everything you need to sustain an off grid life style and income producing business. Entire farm, 27 hectares (67 acres) US$410k Includes: â€¢ Chocolate Farm, primary forest, and agricultural land â€¢ House & Yoga Studio destination point for guests This is a rare opportunity to own a 67-acre cacao farm, with award-winning cacao trees, many other fruit tree types, pasture for horses and cattle, agricultural land, the original farmhouse, potential home sites for building, virgin forest and spectacular mountain views. It is such a unique and beautiful land with so much potential. Develop a brand and reputation with the heirloom beans. Turn it into a therapeutic destination for chocolate enthusiasts. Retire here and enjoy a simple life on this abundant land. Or live elsewhere and operate the cacao production from afar, as we did for many years. The farm has 19 acres of mature cacao trees. The beans have been registered by the Heirloom Cacao Preservation Fund as â€œHeirloom Quality and Flavorâ€. It produces four to six thousand kilos (9,000 to 13,000 pounds) of dried beans a year. The virgin forest (8 acres) is incredibly beautiful, with enormous old growth trees and rare tropical birds. A lovely trail winds through it. This is the last remaining protected virgin forest in the area. What's amazing about this forest is the easy access. Normally native forest in Costa Rica is found only on steep slopes with difficult access. To get to our forest you just walk up a small hill. There are abundant mature tropical fruit trees producing yields of guanabana, avocado, orange, grapefruit, jack fruit, caimito, zapote negro, zapote rosa, limon, banana, platano, cafÃ©, pineapple, mangosteen, starfruit and about 15 coconut palms. We have additionally planted native hardwood trees for reforestation. There is a mature bamboo plantation of different types of construction bamboo and special bamboo for making instruments. The balance of the land--about 43 acres--is gently rolling pasture for horses or cattle and agriculture. The views are stunning, looking out to the Talamanca mountain range. There are several potential home sites with great views of the river valley and the mountains. The farm is completely off the grid and uses a modest solar power system. There are two natural springs on the property, additionally, the water table is very high and it would be easy to dig a well pretty much anywhere on the property. A nearby river (Rio Coto) with great swimming holes is only a 20 minute walk away. There is also the original farmhouse, which is in need of repair, but has a good foundation, plumbing and a convenient location. It could be ready to live in with a few weeks of TLC. In this working zone, there is also a drying rack and fermentation boxes. The current owners built a wood cabin and separate yoga studio situated as a destination spot overlooking the Talamanca mountains. The cabin is built from sustainably harvested local cedar & eucalyptus with amarillÃ³n hardwood floors. The farm is completely organic, although not certified. The altitude is about 1650 feet, perfect for any type of farming one could imagine. The soil is ideal--everything grows here. This could be a permaculture paradise. The workers on the farm have been there for 15 years. They love the property and have the know-how to grow and process the cacao beans and caretake the other rich produce found on the farm. This is a place time seems to have stopped. There are very few cars--people mostly get around on horseback or foot. Good dirt road access (4x4 only). This farm has several access roads which remain in pristine condition for being so remote. The farm location in Bonanza is remote, yet is only a 40 minute drive to the historic town of San Vito with its shopping centers and one of the best hospitals in Costa Rica.

When the Marina is completed, there will be about 155 slips, including several that can accommodate the biggest yachts in the world. There will be a commercial village with stores and restaurants, and dry dock for boats. With all these upgrades and investments going on in Golfito, Zona Americana is receiving a lot of attention. Zona Americana, the most exclusive neighborhood in Golfito, has recently had many houses and businesses changing ownership and prices are steadily increasing.

In addition to the macaws in the trees and the turtles on the beach, Playa Lapa is part of the daily migratory feeding range of four species of monkeys including the white faced Capuchin monkey, as well as the endangered squirrel monkey.
