Thanks for your reply. I definitely will need to get clarification on the water isuue.
I do like your suggestion regarding the electricity. The other advantage to owing the transformer is that ICE will not be tempted to feed other properties from it. I’ve seen that happen in the US where a friend of mine paid the power company to put in a transformer but it remained the property of the power company. Over the years, they connected more and more drops to that transformer until he started having problems with low voltage during heavy use hours. The power company suggested that he get his own transformer to remedy the problem. Took intervention by his attorney to remedy the problem.
astrMemberThanks for your reply costaricafinca,
I’ve lived off and on in Costa Rica and my wife is from there so have had some experience with the idiosyncrasies of CR. We’ve been looking for some time for property and very much like this parcel that we are currently considering. There are no phone lines in the vicinity but cellular signal is strong at the proposed building site. There are several natural springs on the property so water shouldn’t be a problem. During this next trip down, I will measure the flow rate and get samples to check for contamination. My biggest concern is the availability of electricity which I know will require some outlay of money to get. Hopefully, I can get a better handle on what it will cost this next trip down. That was the reason for my original question, to get other peoples experiences.
