Many years ago The Banana Company created a neighborhood which became known as the American zone, it was an exclusive neighborhood with a community pool, tennis courts an airstrip and even a 9-hole, par 3 golf course. Homes in the neighborhood were 2 story wooden structures consisting of 2 and 3 bedrooms. Today, the golf course is no longer available nor the Community pool. many homes have been remodeled; this home has been tastefully renovated and you could say ‘The Most Unique’ in the zone. Today the neighborhood is still the most desirable area in which to live. I can easily vouch for the lifestyle as I too have lived in the neighborhood for over 25 years. To me this neighborhood has much of the same feel as neighborhoods I grew up in, in the states. The large lots and 2 story wooden homes. Its relatively quiet and safer than other parts of Golfito.

GOLFITOOne of my photos below is of a ‘tall ship’ entering our Bay from the Gulf (Golfo Dulce) this image was taken from the mountain top behind Golfito “Just spectacular”, It demonstrates the surrounding beauty of the bay and coastline. Our rugged and untouched coastline is unlike other parts of the country with our black sandy beaches, and depths of 30 feet or more just steps off shore. The gulf, “Golfo Dulce” is one of 4 tropical fjords in the world and one of the 10th deepest. Titled Waterfront acreage is few and far between…….here you’ll be able to expand your dream. Golfito Bay is doubly protected from off-shore swells and inclement blows, a 700 acre island sits in front of our town with the gulf (golfo dulce) on the windward side, this makes it one of the best anchorages in the country.
