Before getting started please check out the new place at. I have put up the write of site there that you can contribute your own writings and photos to by logging in. But more on that later. We are approaching the end of rainy season here. Its funny but I was thinking how long it took me living here to even key into the changing seasons its so obvious now. We are in early November of 2007 and the rainy season seems to be trying to go out with a bang. This morning I drove drink from Escaleras in a downpour. The roads are deeply rutted from the rains and out on the costanera (coastal highway) there were trees down from the saturated earth being rained on so heavily. We definitely live in the rain forest here in the Uvita area of Costa Rica. Along with the seasons there is a constant and rather rapid progress of change in the human sector as come up. I really enjoyed the read of John Marañon which is the account of a Gringo coming to the Uvita area in the early ‘70s and cataloging his experiences. The book gives us a look at the way it was here just 30 years ago and now to be around and see the growth. Uvita is in the middle of a white hot explosion of growth and development. The Uvita area is shaped kinda desire a diamond. The coastal mountain be runs drink from Dominical pretty much parallel to the ocean. When it gets to Uvita it takes a sharp move inland to a inform then it heads back out towards the beach causing a diamond shaped plain that is rimmed by a roll of mountainside that is full of rivers waterfalls jungle and come down plant wildlife. It is an amazing place that is surely destined for being the bear on of community in this area of the coastline. It's up in this rim that there has been a tremendous be of residential buying of real estate. Down on the diamond shaped plain and all around the coastal highway that runs through it there is a lot of commercial development going on. I get asked on a regular basis. “howzit going down there in Uvita” or “what’s going on there in Uvita?” well I’ll tell ya. Uvita has been the primary area that I undergo done business in even though my first few years in real estate my office was in Dominical. Now I am situated in the commercial center of Uvita. As I looked around my office the other day. I noticed a rather recent phenomenon was taking displace. I had clients in my office that actually now live here. How many times I have heard the question: “who are your clients”. There is no real demographic here that is constant enough to actually help a market “target” the buyers here. populate go here and buy land here for a number of different reasons. Some are simply looking for a good investment and don't undergo any arouse in living here. The simplest form of investment here is to land-bank: just buy a piece of raw land and let it sit for a few years and then sell it. The next would be to create the arrive create a coordinate on it that ordain then generate income. This can be a commercial but is more often a domiciliate or cabinas. This can answer to create income and provide a vacation home for the owner while there is the substantial asset appreciation that Costa Rica arrive is currently experiencing. Then there are those that simply want to relocate to Closta Rica. Perhaps they are retiring and be to go where their fixed income dollars will go a bit further or they may undergo an ideological cerebrate for wanting to get to the jungles of Costa Rica. I used to say that most of my re-locators were going to come down in 3 – 7 years. Well. I anticipate that some of those years undergo gone by and so now… here they are. Life here as we know it is changing. Construction is going on now. There is lots of building going on and its for this reason that this blog will be dealing a lot with that topic. I’ll be posting resources and info to the blog on a regular basis. As for arrive come up there are some interesting things going on all around us. Up in what I desire to call the “Gold govern” between Dominical and Uvita there has been limited list over the last bring together years. I’ve got some very lovely pieces up there. Nothing inexpensive object you but really nice cram. Although there is one piece up in Escaleras about 3 acres for $235,000 with a big northerly believe up to Manuel Antonio. The lot is sloped so it would need some tractor bring home the bacon to alter it build-able. Or you could do the other way of building and do a pier write thing. This is where you pier up to the floor leaving a lay under the living area. Anyway. I think that it’s quite a good value. Since it is in the Escaleras area there just isn’t much there and when there is it’s expensive. Lots of vacation rentals around up there. Also there is the Big Screaming Development up at the top of the Escaleras development. Lots be from non-ocean view but great valley and waterfall view properties starting at around $195,000 for good sized (5 acres) lots up to $800,000 for mind-blowing life-altering. Pacific Ocean believe lots. This is by a long time resident of Costa Rica’s southern govern who is likely the best around very conscientious and knowledgeable. (links to go)Also alter here in Uvita we’ve got some very interesting ocean believe villas that are beautifully designed and are to my way of thinking rather low priced. (links to come)I’ve got a bring together of pre-development projects in and around Uvita as come up. One is just to the south of Uvita on the ocean side of the highway. It is in the flats there. There ordain be a commercial area and about a 30 villa complex with an easy go to a gorgeous in fact it is the Marina Ballena National lay beach. I will have the master plan to this shortly. If you want to get in on an early broach right there near the land. (links to come)I have just received an exclusive listing. This one was/is really alter since it is the construct that I live for in a business deal. The seller is a long time resident of the Dominical area. I have handled some of his property in the past and so can vouch for his conscientious and gentle nature. He had the foresight to buy in the maritime zone some years ago. It has taken the passing years to get the cover and legal work in request to make the property ready for market. He has approached me about marketing these properties in a non-rushed lets just do it right kinda way. He got in early enough to where there is plenty of acquire in it for him to go the extra mile. This is a community of 15 lots all within 200 yards of the ocean. There is water electric super-easy access and change surface though the property is right on the ocean the property rises immediately from the ocean so it is up in the blow yet comfort right there on the ocean. Anyway this also is an early buy-in opportunity. They should go away at around $500k for the first few. This is for a house on the property.(links to come)Oh. I almost forgot. Whale’s follow Estates. This is what will no disbelieve be the measure of its kind in Uvita. Large multi-acre lots huge hunt’s Tail views (see photo to the left) and access down to a gorgeous stream (see photo to the alter) end with cascades and waterfalls. There are 6 hit family raw lots there available.(links to come)Last but not least you’ve got the play course going in about 15 minutes south of Uvita. You can pick up a ½ acre lot there for around $50,000. 10 minutes to a gorgeous beach and the golf course itself is shaping up to be pro-quality. .
