The caretaker reports his next
project will be to make a trail to the knoll where there’s a view out to

A PEACEFUL
RAINFOREST REFUGE
on the "Los Torres Road" offers offers a cool climate at an
elevation of about 500 meters above the bay – Heaven for a nature lover
and a favorite hiking area for visitors to Golfito!
Almost 300 titled acres gives you several building sites and clear areas
for your tropical gardens along with plenty of wilderness to explore. The remains of an old farmhouse stand marking
what would most likely be the prime site for the main home or lodge.
Private trails through the land immerse you in fabulous animal habitats,
winding past streams, under rainforest canopy and to a spectacular huge
waterfall….all within the boundaries of your land. 146 varieties of birds
are recorded in the surrounding area as well as a diverse list of other
native species including monkeys, morphos, anteaters, sloth and more!
This would be a wonderful site for an eco-lodge or private retreat and
guest cottages. The rural road up to the land is maintained year round,
making the trip down the mountain only 15 minutes for provisioning at
the bay front shopping areas or heading out for a day of fun on the
water.
There is plenty of fresh
water on site and cellular telephones as well as Direct TV services are a
snap to install. The electric energy would need to be by a self-sufficient
source – most likely a generator.
DRAMATIC price reduction mark
down to $120,000.

Jungle Reserves & Wildlife Areas
Within an area of 3,234
acres, the Golfito National Wildlife Refuge was established to protect a
primary evergreen forest where more than 125 species of trees have been
identified, thus also preserving the watershed for the population of the
region. Golfito is the home of an incredible variety of wildlife
and birds......and this refuge above is a "Birdwatchers Dream Come
True". Other reserves have been established - Both private and
forestry department administered. Living on a property inside a reserve
or bordering the jungle lands is 24 hour entertainment! Property in
Reserve and Parkland areas have certain restrictions including
prohibitions on construction in MANY areas. Title to land within a
National Park or Reserve does not insure your ability to develop
it....and in some cases strictly prohibits your use. Therefore,
prudent investigation with a qualified professional should be realized
before investing |
Golfito Rainforest Eco-Retreat Ranch
Just
minutes from the Golfito Bay, this 115 acre titled family farm has more
than ample area for your estate or eco-tourism project development. We
know of no other property that compares offering both a private retreat
into nature and 'the good life' - with such close proximity to town's
amenities and marinas. It’s just about self sufficient!
This 115 acre titled family farm is only 10 minutes from Golfito Bay and
city center- Yet it has all the qualities of a rural self sufficient
retreat with wilderness all around. It’s a strong contender for great
eco-tourism or private estate development sites. Existing construction
includes a well built ranch managers home of solid cement with nice
finish and comfortable details. A big enclosed dining and living porch
lead to the air-conditioned living room, large bedroom, galley kitchen
and bathroom. Fully furnished, it's ready to occupy and overlooks your
sparkling tiled pool and tropical landscaped gardens. Additionally, 2
lovely hardwood artisan cabins offer guests independent living with
their own kitchen, living lofts, private bedrooms and bath. The tropical
roofs give the accommodations a traditional elegance and were
constructed of all native palm materials, a renewable resource harvested
right on the farm. A secure workshop with ample storage and a car port
plus a laundry room are adjacent to the managers house and loaded with
your maintenance tools and supplies. Located on the old railroad route
which is now converted to a public rural road, this farm has
electricity, cellular telephone service and internet plus satellite TV.
Fresh water is abundant with multiple springs on site. Organic fruits on
site include bananas, papayas, avocados, mangos, star fruit, pineapple
and there is more in the way of veggies and herbs. The fertile soil is
quite hospitable for cultivation. At your pleasure, you can be as
self-sufficient as you’d like to be. The current expat owner maintains a
hen house for fresh eggs, 5 cows in the pasture to keep the grass cut!
Plus the ranch horse makes inspecting the property lines, fences,
waterways and trails a pleasure!
What more do you need? How about some of the best bird and monkey
watching in all the country? No kidding. Formerly the site of a popular
tourism project with private guides leading guests through the property
- they boasted a 'guarantee of monkeys and bird sightings' as their
primary feature topped off by a swim at the nearby waterfall with lunch
there on the ranch.
This ranch property has it
ALL - READY to grow your dreams!

Ex-Pat's are ♥♥Loving
this
Quiet Countryside Neighborhood...
And here is your chance to get in below market value. Comparable sales
in the area indicate that this should be listed higher. Perhaps this is the
'fixer upper' that many of you tell me you are looking for?! It's got 4 small bedrooms, 2
baths, a service porch and newly tiled living-dining room and kitchen. The
front parking patio is tiled and enclosed with security bars. A
refurbishing was begun and suspended before the listing came in. A buyer
would need to finish the job - but should be able to pull this off
and still net a good under-market investment. The lot is 570 s.m. with
plenty of area for both a large addition and patio in back plus a detached workshop or boat
storage to the side. There are mature fruit trees and a bonus garden along the street in front of the home
that is yours to enjoy as a part of the neighborhoods new community green

variety, with acres and acres of lovely

Golfito Waterfront Properties
A Bay With-in a Bay, you will find no finer yacht anchorage in the tropics
than Golfito. Homes of boat enthusiasts and marina development plans
are catching on like wildfire on the shores of this area. Calm waters with good anchor holding and pier sites plus
the convenience of a bustling port town make this
waterfront zone very desirable - Both commercially and for private homes.
The pacific, gulf and river waterways are a sport fishermen's dream. The jungles behind are full of birds, animals, tropical fruits, trails and
an abundance of pre-Columbian history as this bay was home to one of Costa
Rica's Indigenous fishing communities.
Golfito enjoys the unique and rare ability to offer some of the
only titled properties along the coast of Costa Rica. But outside of
the town center, most properties are along the Maritime Zone or located in
a National Park or Wildlife Refuge Area. Strict regulations and
building prohibitions apply. Zoning Plans may be pending and
applicable building restrictions should be confirmed. Available
documentation on properties are reviewed by Tierra Mar prior to listing
for understanding of the property status to date, but buyers are advised
to complete a property review with the assistance of a qualified attorney
before investing to assure full understanding.

long way... Along with a competent local carpenter! |

Land
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.
