If you want to live in a tropical paradise with waterfalls, stunning views, beautiful and environmentally friendly homes, with clean air, and pure water, as part of an investment with little risk and large potential returns,  this might be the most important opportunity you'll ever encounter.

 

And how would you like to enjoy a tropical, healthy lifestyle with neighborhood access to beautiful community gardens, a rainforest preserve with hiking trails, and a year round education, retreat center and spa featuring quality events, workshops and trainings?

This "dream" lifestyle is available now, for a select few and a limited time, as part of a pre-develpment investment in a stable and rapidly growing market. The good news is that the cost to participate is low - a fraction of what it would cost in the US, and below market value in Costa Rica.

But, you have to act soon - spaces are limited and demand is already high.

What Makes Costa Rica the Obvious Choice

• Work less, save money and have more quality time for friends and family with the low cost of living in Costa Rica. Click here for a cost of living comparison between the US and Costa Rica.
  
  

• Escape the cold and snow and discover the tropical, mild year round climate that eliminates major heating and cooling costs, allows you to spend more time outside year round, and grow almost anything: chocolate, citrus, nut and fruit trees in your backyard - the costa Rican government even gives away free trees and grants money to plant them. Mold and biting insects are NOT issues here.
  
  
• Explore the stunning natural beauty throughout the country, and feed your sense of adventure in a new country and culture - visit hot springs within half an hour drive, waterfalls, rainforest, mountain tops, 45-60 minutes to pristine beaches and world class surfing, beach scene with fishing, ultralights, sushi, etc., or deserted tropical beaches. 

• Live near the beach in a tropical mountain paradise WITHOUT the heat and bugs that come with living ON most beaches.
  
  

• Travel with ease and comfort with or without a car on Costa Ricas paved highways and excellent public transportation and shuttles.
  
  
• Have peace of mind that the environment is politically stable.  Costa Rica is a democracy with no military and a modern legal system - ensuring your personal safety, the security of your investment and your ability to set up a business if you so choose.
  
  

• Preserve your wealth by choosing an investment that will appreciate as the value of the Dollar continues to fall. The Dollar has fallen 30% against the Euro in the past year, and 25% against the Costa Rican currency in the past five years - and experts agree it will continue to fall. See these videos and articles from CNN, Forbes, BBC and more on the decline of the Dollar and US economy.
  
  

• Relax knowing that you are working with professionals who are experienced in Costa Rican real estate development and investment.  We help you invest abroad in a low risk opportunity with great potential and excellent perks. 
  
  

• Visit and stay long term in Costa Rica with their liberal visa program and unlimited visa renewals.
  
  
• No baloney:  Dealing with bureaucrats and local authorities is much smoother and easier in Costa Rica than other countries.  There is a low rate of corruption and bribes.  
  
  

• Enjoy a high quality of living, pride in the place you live, and a guilt free existence knowing that you are living in a country with nationwide precedents in environmental responsibility – 25% of the country is set aside in natural reserves, and efforts to be the first carbon neutral country on the planet. This also means lots of parks and preserves to visit, the landscape and views and watershed are protected.
  
  

• Second paved road to the beach is approved, and expected in the next 2-3 years, reducing travel time to the coast. New southern zone international airport slated for completion in 2010.
  
  

 

Your Dream House: Buildings, Homes and Construction

 

The project is currently in the pre-development phase, prior to any development or construction. You can build or have our teams or contractors build your dream house on your lot here in the tropics.

Our development team, and related construction companies lead the region in providing environmentally responsible, beautiful and highly functional homes of distinction.

You will enjoy working with our people. Cost and deadline commitments are guaranteed.
The workmanship, artistic detail and amenities that go into each development and home will delight you. At the same time, construction costs are substantially lower than in the US and Canada.

Environmental responsibility is key to all buildings in the development - we are committed to creating a lifestyle of enduring value in harmony with the natural beauty of Costa Rica.

Your family and friends will enjoy going along a beautiful entryway lined with flowers, past the waterfall, pools, clubhouse and retreat center, up to your solar home. Breath deep from your roof-top garden. Take in the sweeping view in front and lush open space and primary forest reserve in back. Welcome home.

 

 

Getting There and the Region

There are direct flights to San Jose, the capital, from many major cities in the US. From Denver, for example, you can leave at 8:00 in the morning and have a late lunch in San Jose, and arrive in San Isidro in time for dinner.  San Isidro is a beautiful 3+- hour drive, shuttle or luxury bus ride from the capital.

 

San Isidro lies in the Southwestern portion of the country, one to two ridges inland from the coast, nestled in a valley set against the tallest mountain in Costa Rica – the spine of the continent.

Less than an hour from the ecovillage, San Isidro has the stores, services and pleasures of a big city, including an active nightlife, theater, a wide variety of music, excellent restaurants, great shopping, adventure recreation, and art. 

 

Dominical, on the coast, less than an hour from San Isidro has beautiful beaches and an amazing variety of restaurants, music, late night entertainment, plus a great surf scene.  Just north and south of Dominical are countless idyllic deserted tropical beaches.

Does your mutual fund offer you green living in paradise while making low risk, high returns? Upward real estate trends: Prices in the region have been doubling every six months for several years, and demand is increasing. Nearby lots are selling for 5-10 times the pre-development cost of this project.  Lots in the region are selling for 10-25 times the pre-development cost of this project.  We were able to secure this property at outdated prices.  Post development lot prices will be approx 5 times pre-development prices – meaning investors will quintuple their investment the day that development is finished. High demand and limited supply: 50-60 people have already applied to be a part of the project, and hundreds more have expressed interest and shared their contact information. In contrast, this initial offereing is VERY limited to a select few. Wireless internet as it is introduced will shortly bring a huge influx of people and development into the region, driving up real estate values further [while this property is safely buffered from any nearby development by protected neighboring lands, rainforest reserve and green belts].
