Caribbean Lots Still Available From Only $50,000

Let me show you the next big opportunity in Costa Rica.

Dear Pathfinder Reader,

If you visited Costa Rica more than five years ago, chances are you consulted your guidebook and decided to skip the Caribbean side. Like most travelers--including myself--you probably went straight for the crowded Pacific.

“There's nothing over there…no infrastructure…bad roads...it takes too long to get there.” Those were the Caribbean stereotypes of the time. But as any successful overseas investor knows, negative stereotypes are the property-buyer's best friend.

Why?

Because the stereotypes can be slow to die despite the changing times, holding the prices down until word gets out to the mainstream that things are different.

This is the case with the Costa Rican Caribbean. The truth is that it's now less than 2.5 hours from the capital of San José on a new, modern highway. The international airport re-opened in 2006. Serious investors are buying coastal land, and the first luxury resorts and residential developments are springing up.

Limón is at the center of the current boom.

The Caribbean town of Limón is fast becoming a boomtown. Take a look at some of what's happening: In January 2007, the Costa Rica Tourism Institute decided to invest $5.7 million in the local tourist infrastructure. A short time later, the Construction Chamber of Commerce announced that there was a staggering 122% increase in new construction in Limón. But the big news came just a few weeks ago when the World Bank agreed to extend a huge $72.5 million loan for the purpose of revitalizing this port city. The government claims that the 250 cruise ships that now arrive annually will double over the next five years. No doubt about it, the “Caribbean side” is on the move.

And one of the most attractive ways I've seen to “buy in” to the new Caribbean boom in Costa Rica is to take advantage of the heavily-discounted startup offers at Grand View Estates.

A project location that takes advantage of what nature and new prosperity have to offer.

Grand View Estates is located just 1.5 hours east of San José. And it's only 30 minutes from the beautiful white sand beaches and the sparkling waters of the Caribbean. Since the airport is only two hours from Miami, you can arrive on site in just over half a day from Florida.

Unlike the Pacific Coast, the Costa Rican Caribbean enjoys year-round rainfall without a dry season. So instead of the parched, dusty environment found in some areas, you'll find lush green tropical forests, tumbling rivers, and abundant tropical wildlife.

The nearby city of Limón is home to 75,000 people, 40% of whom speak English. It's equipped with up-to-date supermarkets, excellent small specialty stores, and a modern hospital.

Just south of Limón, the coastal towns of Cahuita and Puerto Viejo have become popular European tourist destinations, and enjoy a number of excellent European restaurants. Puerto Viejo also boasts world-class surfing, while nearby Punta Uva ranks as one of the top 10 beaches in the world, according to Outside magazine.

This is a project that's well thought-out, and well underway.

Nestled deep in the Talamanca Mountains, Grand View Estates enjoys magnificent views of the Caribbean and the surrounding mountains and valleys. You'll spend endless days wandering the pristine 640 acres. The 1,300 foot elevation allows for fresh ocean breezes as well. The site is diverse, with virgin rainforest, five rivers, two waterfalls, and gently rolling hills. The wildlife is abundant, with hundreds of bird and animal species. If you'd rather explore on horseback, Grand View Estates offers stables on the property.

Nearby, more adventures of the tropics await you. You can enjoy a quiet nature hike, a volcano tour, or perhaps a visit to an indigenous village. Or maybe kayaking and whitewater rafting are more your style. And with the Caribbean nearby, don't forget sport fishing, dolphin-watching, or snorkeling and scuba diving. No matter what kind of healthy, outdoor lifestyle you'd like to lead in Costa Rica, Grand View Estates delivers it to your doorstep.

Grand View Estates has optimized the project's design to offer large properties that offer privacy, while taking advantage of spectacular views of the Caribbean, valleys, and mountains. lots range from one to five acres, assuring plenty of room to stretch out.

Stewart Title Insurance guarantees a clean property title for Grand View Estates.

When you're ready to complete the dream by constructing your new home, Grand View Estates will help with all of the details. They'll even assist you with selecting a builder, work with you on the design, and provide construction oversight if you need it.

It costs less than you think to gain a foothold in this Costa Rican dream.

Prices at Grand View Estates start at only $50,000 which is unheard of these days in Costa Rica . It's a price that reflects the “early bird” nature of the market on the Caribbean side of the country--you can expect to pay four times that amount for similar properties on the Pacific side. A 10% deposit will secure your purchase at Grand View Estates, and you can start enjoying your own tropical paradise right away. That new, healthy, relaxing lifestyle is just around the corner.

Interest in this area is running high, as more and more people discover the values on this side of Costa Rica. In fact, 15 IL readers have already secured their lots here...so I'm sure the available properties won't last long.
