The Perfect Costa Rica Retirement Home Community In Ojochal
As a professional real estate agent living and working in Costa Rica, it is important for me to take care of my clients.
While remarkably diverse, the country is only the size of West Virginia, and the community of foreign investors and residents is one that has a good level of common interaction and interconnectivity.
It is a common occurrence to bump into past clients at the beach, or in a restaurant with my family, and it’s important for me to be able to look them in the eyes and know that I guided them in the right direction – that they are happy with their purchase, our service, and the fulfillment of their Costa Rican dream.
In short, though there are many brokers and developers who have come to this beautiful country just to make some quick and easy money, my personal and professional goals are about building a lifestyle, community and family based on the sustainability of my actions and interactions.
These days it has become even more important to work with a professional. There are countless real estate projects on the market, and oftentimes there is a scarcity of resources providing insight to potential buyers as to the validity of any given project or promotion.
Clients depend on finding a trustworthy, knowledgeable and independent Realtor to help them make intelligent and secure decisions, and this guidance is based largely on the Realtor’s inside market knowledge, experience & integrity.
In the eyes of most potential buyers here the distinguishing factors that differentiate a failing development from a thriving one are sometimes none-too-apparent in today’s world.
It is paramount that investors take great care in choosing who they work with as well as the developments and properties in which they place their trust and investment.
As active and passionate Realtors, we are also always on the perpetual search for the development that represents the perfect balance between value, security, and appeal – and I’m sorry to say that it’s not always easy! Many of the residential and condo projects are no longer solvent due to financial difficulty or have not been able to establish sustainable administration and management.
Too common are the visionary developers who plan to fund their development through pre-sales and have sales presentations laden with promises which are simply impossible to complete or are entirely beyond the control of the developer.
Nevertheless, I’m happy to say that we’ve found a development and team which surpasses our expectations on every level. And it’s located in one of the southern Pacific zone’s most beautiful, and yet least-known communities: Ojochal.
The name is Ventanas de Ojochal and here’s why we are strong advocates:
- History: The developers are true pioneers to the area, having arrived over 35 years ago. Their development plan has been one of long-term vision and lifelong dedication.
- Scope: They own debt-free thousands of acres of prime property in the area, which is divided into numerous sub-developments. There is something for everyone – whether you want a beautiful ocean view estate, or a small stream side cottage. Furthermore, because of their economy of scales, they can offer prices which undercut the competition.
- Location: While Ojochal has historically been fairly sleepy and some would say remote, the new highway from Quepos to Dominical – and the one from San Jose to the coast – make it more accessible than ever. It’s 20 minutes from the closest domestic airport, and 25 minutes from Dominical. There’s also a much larger airport planned for the southern zone in the future, which will be less than half an hour away.
- Nature: The southern Pacific zone is often called the ‘Costa Ballena’ (‘Whale Coast’), and is where ‘the mountains meet the sea.’ It is a truly beautiful part of the country. Imagine verdant rain forests thriving with congo monkeys and toucans, cove beaches with ‘window’ tunnels leading out to the sea, crystalline waterfalls and thriving mangrove systems!
- Custom Homes: Don’t let anyone ever tell you that building in Costa Rica (or perhaps anywhere?) is easy! Ventana de Ojochal does their own in-house custom home designing and construction. They have built literally hundreds of custom homes for happy customers, and in less time than most.
- Service: With a long-term vision, nothing is more important than customer service. Ventana de Ojochal never loses touch with this – from the moment interested clients spend two enjoyable days at their charming guesthouse, to the property management services they offer after the fact.
