B&B for sale in Costa Rica

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:34:24 -0400

A tiny island just outside Costa Rica's Northern zone town of Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui is home to a magnificent botanical garden that awaits visitors in search of beauty and serenity. On the edge of the beautiful garden we find a restaurant where around 35 people can easily be seated with views in the gardens and river. Above the restaurant we have the owners living space, which has also beautiful views on the river. Nice living area, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. A little behind the restaurant and owners house we have two buildings with in total 4 rooms, all with their own terrace and bathrooms. 2 of the rooms also have air conditioning.
The Island is created by a split in the Puerto Viejo River, this private little island is accessible only by a bridge. The five-acre garden is home to 80 varieties of heliconias, gingers & other tropical plants.
Heliconia’s are flowering throughout the year. In addition to the Heliconia species native to C.R., the garden has an unusual variety of species native to other tropical zone countries around the world that are rarely seen even in Costa Rica The garden also features a large number of botanical relatives of the Heliconias. Among those families represented are the ginger's, Lowiaceae (no common name), costus, cannas, prayer plants, and musae (bananas). Several varieties of edible bananas are grown for guests to sample. There are also distinct species cultivated as ornamentals. Surrounding the cultivated areas of the garden are fruit trees, bamboo groves, ferns, bromeliads, philodendrons, orchids and other plant forms are growing in abundance. The most unusual palms represented in the garden are the triangular palm and the traveler's palm. The traveler's palm is native to the Island of Madagascar and is not commonly seen in Costa Rica. Both of these palms are highly prized as ornamentals because of their distinctive form and elegant beauty. Native trees, which include Sota-Caballo, Laurel, Chilamate, Ceiba, Hule, Cocora, etc, complete the foliage of the tropical setting.

Besides the beautiful garden still 40% of the island is jungle (each end of the island) with a path through it, to get a real feeling of the jungle live. On one end there is a secluded little “beach” which can is ideal to have a swim in the river.

A real delight is the large number of colorful, exotic tropical bird species. There are more than 400 species of birds in the tropical lowland forest of the Sarapiquí region. One of the most visually appealing butterflies to catch sight of on the island is the brilliant Blue Morpho. A small in sectarian is in the planning stager and will feature a larger select collection of butterflies.

Besides birds, butterflies and other small jungle inhabitants, there is a family of monkeys living ON the island, which have actually never left this surrounding. Right now it is a family of 5 howler monkey. Also slots, owls and other bigger animals can be found on a daily base on the island as well as toucans and other bigger bird species.

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:34:24 -0400

In Montes del Oro, a series of hills in the Miramar-area, a new park is born; Parque Oro de Acapulco. From january 2010 there will be 77 lots for sale for Phase One in this beautifull park. The name of the park refers to the local tradition of gold-digging; this area is in Costa Rica known for its small private gold-mines that stopped their activities about fourty years ago. Most of the lots on Parque Oro de Acapulco have a panoramic front-view on the gulf of Nicoya and the Peninsula de Nicoya. On the back they have beautifull views on a mountain range that neighbours the National Park of Monte Verde. The nature is abundant, on our visits we encountered monkeys, coyotes and dears. In the Early-investors phase we offer gulf-view-lots for US$ 6,60 per square meter, the non-gulf-view lots are priced at US$ 5,50 per square meter. There is a road entering the park, the lots come without utilities (no water, no electricity). All lots are fully titled. The buyers will have the land on their name in the registro Nacional de Costa Rica. In the Buildersphase, the lots will have water and electricitry and are after permitting for building (this takes normally 3 months) ready to be build upon. In these phase the lots are priced at a 20% higher level then in the forementioned phase. Gulf-view lots will be priced at US$ 7,70 per square meter and non-gulf-view lots will be priced at US$ 6,50 per square meter. The area of Miramar is located in the center of Costa Rica. In daytrips from here you can visit the beaches of Guanacaste (Samara and Nosara), the National Park Monte Verde, and Vulcano Arenal. In the Central Pacific direction, Jaco is at two hours, Quepos and Manual Antonio can also be visited in daytrips. The nearestby beach is at twenty minutes driving. And when the new highway from Cuidad Colon to Caldera is finished, Multiplaza Escazu will be 75 minutes by car. With the hospital in Puntarenas at twenty minutes, healthcare is closeby. The location is very suited as either a second-home location for those who spend the week in the Metropolitan Area (and choose to be in nature for the weekend) or as a permanent residential home. The park itself is a few kilometers away from the borders of the National Park of Monteverde. In Miramar centro, the nearby town, you find a hospital, banks, supermarkets and all other needed amenities.
