Drawing from recent articles on CNN.com and InternationaLiving.com, we discuss– How the paving of the Costanera Highway and the future Int’l Airport in Palmar will effect property values and life here in the jungle? And, how Costa Rica ranks globally in terms of Life Expectancy and Quality of Life.
Property Listings– we also share two quality listings located in “The Zone”–
Casa Viento, a two-bedroom 2.5 bath home in the international community of Ojochal. With a lovely ocean view, swimming pool, and private setting, this $195K house (sold with all furnishings, tools and misc. items) is a great value.
Valley Of The Horses is a 14+ acre horse property up in the cooler temperatures of Platanillo (12 minutes above Dominical). Bordered by a creek with waterfalls and wildlife, this large $159K piece is perfect building multiple houses with amazing valley views and/or one house with over 6 acres of pasture for grazing.
