One of the biggest risks when buying property is having a consistent and reliable water delivery system. As the saying goes, "without water, we have no life". We are very fortunate to have access to utility water and have many wells as a secondary resource to ensure consistent and steady flowing water.
The water system is complete - picture during construction We wanted to have a plan for Vista Del Mar that built in more redundancy. To accommodate a higher level of redundancy, we have two large holding tanks on the property with a total storage capacity of 4,000 gallons of water. We also recommend that each homeowner have a smaller storage tank as well.
With these measures in place, we will have two primary sources of water and thousands of gallons "in the system" at any given time. I also caution people when buying property in Costa Rica or elsewhere to fully investigate the water plan, as many places have issues regarding water supply.

The following is part of an email I received with the prices of condos in Jaco.
These are pre-construction prices! One of our developments on the South Coast and some other places in the area, you can find a beautiful piece of property with 360° ocean and mountain views and build your dream home for half the cost of the "street side" condo. The age-old words of "buyer beware" come to mind. Unless you have money to burn, come down and visit us on the South Coast if you are seriously considering a property purchase. |

I am running the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis on December 3rd. St. Jude is a children's research hospital that provides care and seeks cures to some of the most horrible afflictions that affect children: cancer, leukemia, neuroblastoma, sickle cell and much more. I am running with a team to raise money so that St. Jude can continue to provide care and do life-saving research. my personal donation web page: click to donate
The niece of one
of the members on our team is at St. Jude receiving care for a neuroblastoma,
a very deadly kind of brain tumor. The care that she has received while there
is second to none. I understand that money is often tight in many households
but ask that you find it in your heart to donate to the run if you possibly
can do so. Many of us are fortunate enough to have good health. My
family, Laura, Madeline and Abigail, is helping me in my effort by running in
the 5K. To donate, go to my St. Jude web page at:
We appreciate
your time and consideration. Most of all, the kids of St. Jude are grateful
for your contribution. Sincerely, Ben.

One of the reasons I invested in property in Costa Rica and not in other tropical places are many, but one reason stands out-- no hurricanes. I was seeking a refugee from extreme weather and Costa Rica fits that mold. It can rain like the sky is falling in Costa Rica, but no hurricanes. You can add to that a stable government and economy, educated population and very low crime rate (much lower than the US) to the list of positives. An investment in Costa Rica real estate is not only a financial investment, but a lifestyle investment. |

As many of you know, there has been more than just talk about the airport to be in the southern zone. The government is being tight-lipped about the project so as not to give away the site location for fear of driving up property value and increasing the cost of the project. The site selection committee for the airport completed a study back in the Spring and released their results to the public. They have narrowed the site for the new airport down to two and have said the location will be between Palmar and Golfito. Click here to request a PDF copy of the article
