Today's featured listing is a sweet little combo package for anyone on a tight budget that is looking for a turnkey opportunity to own a part of the Osa's tropical rain forest as well as a little starter home less than one mile away in the former gold-mining hub of Dos Brazos del Rio Tigre.

The 19 hectare farm has not been titled, but it is eligible for titling. It is situated in the protected Golfo Dulce National Forest Reserve with its entrance gate just a few meters from the public road and what passes for downtown in the roiling metropolis of Dos Brazos.

The property has been owned for fifteen years by a couple that have since separated and and returned to their respective countries. They have had their Costa Rican fun and are ready to move on. They have listed the property for $150K, but are willing to consider any serious offer.

The town house is very rustic, but it is dried in and even has a kind of jungle swimming pool to beat the heat on those warm February afternoons. The farm has a decaying octagon home, but you should consider this raw land. There is power to the base of the property, and there is spring water on the property itself. The townhouse has both ICE grid power and Municipal water.

With Corcovado National Park just a few hundred meters away from the property boundary and contiguous forest cover all the way to Sirena ranger station, expect all the wildlife you associate with the park, like tapirs, five species of cats, four of monkeys, both species of peccaries and so much more...

With primary and advanced secondary forest punctuating the property's story line this tract is ideal for a remote ecolodge, a conservation project, or for good old jungle living in paradise.

Buy the property and do the titling yourself. It will take 2 years or so and cost $7,500 tops, but full title will double the property value overnight. Or keep it as it is; you don't need title to successfully procure building permits, and water is a snap with either a concession of onsite spring water, or by connecting to the municipal line that runs along the public road.

There comes a magical time for each listing in which it overtops its longevity and falls to a buyer. With the present ownership's keen motivation, you should crunch some numbers and make an offer sight unseen, or put down a nonrefundable trifle for us to hold the property for a week or two while you travel to view it.


Don't overthink it; opportunities like this don't come along every day.
