Real Estate Opportunity in Costa Rica
I have been a fishermen for all my life and live in Costa Rica for the fishing. But if you're like me, a fishermen, and love being or have too live by the water then Costa Rica can be an awesome place for you.
The first time I ever came to COSTA RICA was on a friend/clients 65' Bertram and as we pulled into Golfito Bay I looked at the little town with mountains that run clear down to the water covered in lush green jungle that looked just like south east ALASKA and thought to myself I am going to have to live here someday. The whether is in the 90,s everyday,yes it can and does rain a lot of the afternoon,s but only to keep it green and cool things down a little.(much welcomed) Also don't forget the rainy season August, Sept, October, good time to go north for a couple month's. We get very little wind here if any and when we do it is only a nice breeze.
Here in Costa Rica, you don't need a real estate license; I enjoy helping people find real estate while doing fishing full time. When you live here you meet a lot of good honest people that I can point you in a good direction and introduce you to. The most important thing here is hiring a good honest attorney,far more important then finding the right piece of property for yourself.
I have listed a few good property's too show you what is available and give you some idea's of what is out there. There is a lot of bare land both in the
country and mountain's with killer view's. There is a lot of land,small home's on up to lavish American style homes on the beaches and of coarse a lot of condominium projects both at the beaches and in the city.
Golfito Marina Condominium Project - Call for details
If you are interested, come on down and spend a week or two driving around checking out the different sites or send me an information request and I will point you in some good directions. Keep an idea on what I have listed ,as I will be up-dating and making changes as time goes. Thank you

Description: A unique opportunity for the right person, Casa Oasis was built 6 years ago with the fishermen in mind. Set up as two separate buildings the main house was designed to accommodate a small family, and the apartment was designed to give first class accommodations for small groups of anglers. The two homes share a common swimming pool where you will find a small waterfall pleasantly gurgling down the rocks. The homes open up to an unobstructed view of a lush, tropical jungle setting. A well
maintained garden area affords ample privacy between the main house and apartment. The location is both quiet and private, where the only sounds you hear are the monkeys, birds, squirrels and bubbling water. The main house has a spacious living and dining area that flows inward from the patio overlooking the jungle and pool to the open kitchen area. Closed off from this is the family room. Leading off of the family room are two bedrooms and a bath, and the master bedroom with its own bath, walk in closet and outside private porch. Also situated off the family room is a large room with its own entrance that could be utilized as an office, pantry, storage area etc... All the ceilings are done with Guanacaste hard wood; the main living area has a 22 ft ceiling, while the family room boasts 24ft ceilings with ventilation, creating a very open and spacious atmosphere. Located below the house is a two room bedroom with bathroom/shower. This is currently being used as an office and spare room for friends, but could easily be turned into a caretaker’s quarters. There is a covered parking area with ample room for two cars, and a large locked storage area. All of the bedrooms and office have A/C. The front patio overlooking the pool is an ideal social area, with overhead fans creating a comfortable breeze. The apartment was done in the same tradition as the main house and is completely self contained. There are three levels, the bottom level opens up to the pool and a private patio has a dining area, living area, and kitchen and is fully air conditioned. The middle floor which is at ground level, has two separate bedrooms, complete with twin queen beds, tiled bathroom, cable T.V, A/C, phones, closet, desk space, and drawer space. The top level opens up to a private balcony, an ideal place to star gaze or have an evening cocktail. . All three levels are joined by a beautiful spiraling staircase, done in wrought iron and a local hard wood, very reminiscent of rosewood. Both houses are fully fenced in and each building has its own driveway. The whole arrangement could have appeal for someone with a large family looking for a quiet friendly place to live . It would be very convenient for the serious offshore fisherman and friends who want to be walking distance from their boat each morning. With less than an hour run to the fishing grounds, the savings are big on fuel and engine wear. You WILL have more shots at marlin in this area than any other area in Costa Rica during our peak season. Most obviously it would be ideal for someone wishing to live in one of the most unspoiled areas of Costa Rica and make a little income from a bed and breakfast, or a combination (family, fisherperson, and entrepreneur) of the above. Casa Oasis is located within a five minute walking distance to the boats, beach, hotels, restaurants and stores. Nestled at the end of a cul de sac, there is also privacy, affording a very secure feeling, and no noises from the main two lane road, located 300 meters away.. Situated in an area that many consider one of the most prolific marlin fishing areas in the world, Puerto Carrillo is a small unobtrusive community that has been playing host to some of the most well renown sport fishing boats in the world, since its discovery as a billfish destination over 15 years ago. The tiny town boasts several hotels, fine restaurants, stores, a small airstrip with daily service to San Jose, and one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. The tiny harbor affords protection to a handful of charter and private boats that are here on permanent bases. During the high season there have been as many as 25 boats anchored up in the protected bay, some up to 75 ft long or more. Although Puerto Carrillo is located in Guanacaste, the fastest growing area in Costa Rica, this small coastal town has managed to remain relatively unaffected by the surge of growth. The local municipality seems to be making an effort to prevent the uncontrolled growth that has taken place in other beach communities in the country. Progress is inevitable, and in many ways a positive thing, especially if the proper restrictions are enforced December through May is considered peak season for billfish with late December through February the having the most shots at marlin. While we seem to see primarily blues, we also encounter a fair amount of stripes and blacks. We catch billfish year round, but it is during these months that charter and private boats normally based in three different zones converge on this quiet little town.
