As an IT Specialist myself I don’t see working in Costa Rica as a problem, with an internet connection you can still for your North American company.
My husband and I were stopped for speeding we both don’t think that we were speeding. Argue? Don’t think so, it was our first time here. Long story short we ended up paying the bribe. Any country allowing the practice is corrupt. Perhaps changes should start with the rental agencies… A bit of friendly warning like what I’ve seen above would go a long way!
Originally we chose lot 27 which was 2.35 acres. I loved the idea of having a river at the back of the property and from the plan it was showing that there was a no build area next to us (my hope was for many large trees). When we got there we realized that the terrain was much more rugged than we had imagined and although the land was beautiful, it was quite shady being mostly in a ravine. A bungalow on that lot would not have been practical in my mind and we were planning on building two! When we got there Fred took us to see the original land chosen as well as land that another buyer who was with us was looking at. We went up going the next day as well and chose lot 56. The property is on the other side of the river close to the old lot 27. This backs onto the same area and has an ocean view. The lot is 4.75 acres and will be way easier for us to build two bungalows. So in the long run we got the best of both worlds the river and the ocean. Let me know how it goes if you don’t mind, you can reach me at wilske@bp.com. Thanks!
We ended up purchasing a different lot than we had originally picked, and as I’m sure you are aware the lots changed a bit anyway. We are extremely happy with our choice, and feel we paid a reasonable price. I personally think the area will have to develop significantly prior to seeing a substantial increase in its worth. The area has wonderful potential and the people are fantastic.
We just got back from C.R. and chose our property, I didn’t see any signs specifically for Rios del Sol, the property is about 7kms from the Barcello resort. Directions from the resort (or Tambor airport) would be: Turn right (north) towards the Paquera Ferry, turn left at the sign for Vanilla which is 4kms. The property is above the village. Hope you get this prior to leaving!
