We are wanting to get our investment closer to home in the US. We will swap for home anywhere in the US. Will consider acreage in western US. The property is owned free and clear. We would consider holding a note or can hook you up with banks that do Costa Rica Mortgages if necessary. We will discount price considerably for cash. Home with acreage and/or in or near California is a bonus.

Description: This 5 acre property has a spacious 3 bedroom home that used to be a hostel on the edge of the Caribbean port town of Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. The Caribbean beach/waterfront is a short walk from the property and can be seen through the trees on some parts of the property. The home could be used as a vacation rental or Bed and Breakfast. There is currently a friendly helpful American caretaker living in the property who would be happy to continue to care take the property for you or help you develop and run it as a Vacation Rental or B&B. The home is in a beautiful wooded area and has several exotic fruit trees on the property as well as a small garden. The 5 acres of land without the structure is valued at $280,000. The home/hostel is older and rustic but is quite livable. Only a small manageable amount of work needs to be done to make this into a nice Vacation Rental or Bed and Breakfast. This property can be combined with our nearby property #9594 for a larger trade. We will discount considerably for cash.

The property is a great investment having 5 acres this close to Puerto Viejo. A five star hotel is reportedly being built near the property and a new marina is being discussed for this already energetic Caribbean town.

www.puertoviejosatellite.com shows a satellite map of the town. The "V" balloon at about the bottom center of this map shows where Cashew Hill is located. My property is slightly northeast of this and almost adjacent to the Cashew Hill property.
