Plenty of room for off street parking. Municipal green zone in front could be landscaped by the new owner for lovely 'curb appeal'. This one is a MUST CONSIDER for investors or families looking for a retreat property in our area.

A Tropical Sanctuary… Viento de Los Mogos

This magnificent property is an original homestead with spectacular views of the Gulfo Dulce and the Osa Peninsula.  Much of it is a wild and untouched gem of natural beauty. Some of it is reforested to enhance the natural corridor, but ample area has been selected for your dream home or eco-lodge.  The building sites are uniquely situated to not disrupt any original forest trees, or the vital corridor. Multiple building sites offer access by road.  Electricity is available at the road. Documented water rights granted from a spring on the adjoining parcel.
This titled rainforest property is enhanced by a Waterfall, Mangrove Preserve, and River – all lending maximum possibilities for exploration and enjoyment. A nicely built, small wooden home is constructed on site with a resident caretaker.

The closest regional airport is in the fishing center and historical old United Fruit Company town of Golfito. Many people keep yachts and sport-fishing boats in the modern marinas in Golfito, 20 minutes by boat to this property.  The next closest airport is in Puerto Jimenez- just a thirty minute drive.

ONE OF THE BEST BARGAINS ON THE MARKET IN PAVONES!
     
Adjacent to one another, these 2 large titled parcels are well situated and beautifully landscaped, offering a dream location to a retiring surfer, nature lover or even a savvy investor or developer. They are without dispute "A Top Option" in the area for construction of 2 or 3 upscale homes. Offering privacy, proximity to the surf and nearby town services, they are well suited as well for a small tourism project like a ‘B and B’ or rental cottages. The neighborhood is tranquillo- peppered with established "ex-pats" in retirement with nice homes along a beautiful winding tree lined road. Each of the lots are groomed and maintained by a caretaker who lives nearby and keeps an eye on things. The westerly lot of the two is tucked back off of a 'cul-de-sac' in the road-  bordered by a beautiful corridor of jungle and along a small river gorge. A home on this lot would enjoy the ambiance of being immersed in a beautiful, natural landscape. The upper site, the easterly lot, enjoys the elevated placement with a coveted view through the trees out to the Golfo Dulce and Osa Peninsula. The lower half of the easterly lot is situated at the road front with mature trees and a hedgerow border. As I see it, the property has three separate and private entries off the road … meaning the natural layout of the land and the configuration along the road lend 3 natural building sites, making for easy and elegant multi-residential or lot split possibilities. Both lots offer more than 2 acres each with a combined total of better than 5 acres. Spring or well water. These lots compare very favorably to anything else we've seen on the Pavones market. Shop around and then come back to us. This listing is a "Must See".  Combined Price: $250,000

Golfito 'Best View' Lot on Tower Road

Wow! Talk about beautiful views! Located along the border of the protected Golfito Refuge, this titled lot is just outside the boundaries of the protected 'reserve' and there will be no inconveniences in pulling permits to build. It's on the public road with plenty of level area to support a grand estate home, an eco- lodge project or multi-residential development.  Located exactly one mile up the road from the last electric pole. Self generated  power or a project to extend the utility grid would be needed to supply electricity.

Located on a rural public road just 15 minutes outside of Golfito and 30 minutes from Rio Claro on the road to La Gamba village, a few miles before the Esquinas Rainforest Lodge "Biological Station" and adjacent to the Avellan Trails and Waterfall - Surrounded by the Piedras Blancas National Park.... This new to the market collection of lots for construction will meet the criteria of many who are looking for a natural forested setting outside the urban area of Golfito without going "too remote".  An eco-lodge project, private retirement home or a small private community development would all fit beautifully on one or more of these sites, immersed in the exceptional natural beauty of the area.  Over the past 10 years a great deal of the private wilderness areas and the larger parcels have been picked up by preservationists and investors interested in keeping this area of Golfito and it's development path as natural and 'green' as possible. The existing close knit La Gamba community is determined as well to preserve themselves as an example of an ecologically balanced community dedicated to preservation and responsible exploitation of their tropical surrounds.   To date, outside the primary village, only a few private homes have broken ground in the immediate area, planting the seeds for what will most likely be a slow but certain growth community.  Both water and electricity are available at the street. Each lot is accessed by a private easement off the public road.     Asking $39,000 per lot.  Click for more photos

Terrific Economical Fixer Upper!

This old Banana Company Duplex home needs your TLC.  But it does have the potential to be a cutie!  Come ready to fully remodel - with about $25,000 (my best estimate) for the materials and labor and you could make a full transformation to your lovely, comfortable retirement residence or rental.  The current layout is quite well planned. The efficient downstairs living and dining area is roomy - attached to an open kitchen with a laundry room, bathroom and guest room/office too. 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. Convenient to town. Tranquillo corner lot. Bonus car parking area along side of house is deep enough for a car and boat on trailer. 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"!
For those of you looking to get a 'foot in the door' in a good area, this may be your chance. Good Golfito retirement homes don't often come up with this price point. There's work to be done on this one, but it's a great location with alot of potential at minimal cost.

This 10+ Hectare Farm (about 25 acres)  includes a small, well built home and 9 hectares of producing African Palms for your "passive supplemental income".
 A farm overseer takes care of all the "nuts and bolts" of the palm plantation from employee management to harvest to sale of the raw fruit for a 50/50 split of the profit- a reported $2,500 average monthly.  This one is an interesting consideration to retreat to a simpler life and retire as actively or passively as you desire.       Asking a "firm" $270,000

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 zone project. The "neighbors" behind this home are of the 4 legged "moo-ing" variety, with acres and acres of lovely pastureland your backdrop is expansive green backed up to a mountain ridge of rainforest wilderness.

                        OUR "PET PROJECT"

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.
