HARMONY HOUSE ~ Waterfront
in a PRIME commercial location!
A Gracious New Home designed
for commercial or private use with thoughtful amenities to accommodate your guests in style!
The main residence is approximately 750 sq. meters of living space with
quality block, steel and cement construction. 6275 m2 of fenced
area in a prime downtown waterfront location zoned
multi-residential/commercial. A perfect residential-business
location , "B and B" or top notch location for a small sport fishing
lodge.
Private Upper Level:
5 spacious "hotel style" bedrooms, each with fully tiled bathrooms.
A Grand Salon open to the expansive waterfront view with wet bar.
A large gourmet style
kitchen with center island and pass through to huge dining veranda overlooking the bay!
Lower Level:
Manager/Caretaker Apartment with Living Area, Galley, Bedroom and Bath.
2 Car Garage. Huge laundry and secure storage room gives plenty of
work space to a domestic staff and handyman without intrusion of the
main home and guests. Bonus room located off the patio and overlooking
the pool was built for gym equipment or game tables with it's own
private bath (Easy 6th bedroom conversion).
Recreational Area:
Fully tiled pool and a deep tiled jacuzzi. Large 'locker
room' for changing with 2 showers-2 toilets-double sink vanity.
Large covered BBQ patio for entertaining with built in sink and
outlets for a commercial size beverage cooler.
Other Amenities:
The entire property is securely fenced around the front with a
stately block wall around the residence on the waterside. Gates from the
gardens open to the bay, designed with the idea of adding a private pier
and dock or moorings in the bay out front. Lovely established
tropical palms and garden areas surround the constructions. Lots
of room for secure guest or public parking.
Commercial Area Street Frontage:
Considering that less than 1/2 the area of this parcel is developed, this location could
easily support a large second home, additional guest cabins or a
small hotel development or be segregated for rental apartments
or commercial use. The area reserved for this future development is over
100 meters along the main street of Golfito as you leave the commercial
district and enter the boutique marina zone. The Municipal green
belt in front of the property along the public road could be landscaped by the new owner for lovely 'curb
appeal', integrating in the entries and auxiliary street front parking.
“FIX HER
UP”and SAVE!
Another bay front bargain!
Ok, so the
home is a bit rough around the edges…but nothing that would turn a true
bargain hunter away. The basics are there and a do-it-yourself type or a
competent contractor could turn this into “the stylish little beauty at
the end of the road.” These rare ‘deep draft’ waterfront locations are
coveted - hard to come by at any price…but in this price range? Shouldn’t
you check it out? With 10 meters along the coast looking westerly, this
residence is built to extend out towards the anchorage making it a perfect
location for setting a private mooring to secure your boat – maybe even
adding a dock like so many neighbors have. Golfito Bay is truly the
picture of an exotic harbor home for fishing enthusiasts and nature
lovers. Contact Us
for an appointment to see this one.
Asking $79,000. Will entertain all Serious Offers.

Playa Cacao Beach
welcomes
incoming yachts as they navigate the entry of Golfito bay past the homes
strung along the coast. As part of the
Golfito Forest Reserve, it's under the protection of MINAE. But it's not
'the boonies' with it's own community organization, sidewalks and street
lamps, a school, restaurant, 2 cantinas, a launch ramp, city
water, electricity and Direct T.V.... No roughing it here!
Located with-in the forest reserve, development
restrictions and limitations will apply.
Terrific Economical Fixer Upper!
This old Banana Company home needs work. But it's
a fine location with a view out to the bay and does have
the potential to be well worth the effort! Come ready to fully remodel
or rebuild it- with about
$25,000 to $35,000 (my best estimate) for materials and labor and
you can
make a full transformation to a lovely new townhouse for your retirement
residence or rental income. The current layout is downstairs living and dining
with attached open kitchen, a laundry room, bathroom and guest room/office.
The stairwell leads up to a large common landing area and 3 basic
bedrooms. I can't help but imagine laying this second level out
differently to create 3 small or 2 larger bedrooms and an added bathroom
plus opening it up in front to add a veranda over the entry breezeway
below. The view from the second story is quite nice and you'd be able to
take full advantage of the westerly orientation, enjoying sunsets over
the bay with the right remodel design (see photo on bottom right of adjacent
neighbor unit fully remodeled). Titled property. Convenient to town. Tranquillo
corner lot. The side yard of the house is a vacant area for car parking and boat on trailer
but would be area available to expand the home if you wanted a larger
place. This one will fill the bill for several
of you investors or retirees. Asking $70,000.$49,000. April 2011 Note: Very motivated seller says he'll take $39,000 and listen to
offers paid over a short term. "Act now"!
4 Bedroom Waterfront Home
Titled 2 story home along the waterfront with view out to
Golfito Bay. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. Large veranda on the second floor to

Very clean and ready to move in. Includes furnishings - and even a
built in Italian style brick oven for pizza making! Listed at
$156,000.
Golfito Neighborhood Home $49,000
"Priced to Sell"

enthusiast would love! If that is not your thing, there is ample room on
this lot to build a big hobby shop or even a second unit behind the home
in a garden setting. If you are coming to Golfito for the sport fishing and
are thinking you will need room to store your boat on a trailer, this one
would work for that too! The single level retirees home is of block and
cement construction and has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, an open kitchen and salon
plus a large wrap around patio corridor that you will just love. The back
yard offers mature fruit trees such as mango, papaya, lime, banana, platano and tamarindo. Chiles, countless herbs, root veggies and lots more
are there for the cooks stew pot.....and it is all entwined amongst
tropical botanicals including flowering gingers, orchids and heliconias.
Appliances and basic furnishings included. City water, electric, municipal
trash services, telephone and cable TV.
AMERICAN BEAUTY This gracious 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home has been fully
restored and upgraded to meet the criteria of today's more discriminating
buyers. It's on more than a half acre of manicured land, in the historical
area of Golfito lovingly known as 'The American Zone'. Back in "the
day", the workers were prohibited from entry to this exclusive
neighborhood where the U.S. executives lived and shared common
recreational areas. Today many homes have been restored, some
converted into hotels and small restaurants and one boutique style hotel
chain rebuilt a few of them to create a luxury resort with pool and spa.
This American Beauty boasts grand porches and verandas, a large kitchen
with modern features from dishwasher to pantry to wet bar. Exotic
hardwood floors throughout, hand carved doors, custom cabinetry, jacuzzi
tub in master suite, high quality fixtures and electric installation and a
fully insulated roof. Additionally, there is a guest apartment on
the lower level and a detached workshop...plus more. The owner put this one together with love as it was his
intention to make it his family residence....but plans change and his
brand new place is now in need of a sale.
Recent Reduction to $495,000.

This 10+ Hectare Farm (about 25 acres)
includes a small, well built home and 9 hectares of producing African

Sea Services is proud of advances made in Golfito to further the
humane treatment of dogs and cats. Community groups such as ZAPPA
and McKee are reaching out to give low and no-cost care to 'under privileged'
and street critters, greatly reducing the population of homeless
animals in our area. Your contributions make possible the Low Cost
and Free Clinics being sponsored by area volunteers and veterinarians.
Each contribution of $10.00 sponsors a dog or cat that wouldn't
otherwise be able to receive vaccinations and spaying - and
wouldn't have been considered adoptable! Your generous
contribution of $200.00 will sponsor a neighborhood clinic with
free services to 20 needy animals. That's a potential
reduction of over 100 unwanted births in a neighborhood in the
first year alone. Do
the math?! It's a loving and needed investment. Please consider
supporting our "pet project" by bringing a donation to
our office when you visit Golfito. Receipts will be given along
with our THANKS! Volunteers for Clinic Days are always
welcome.
