Lainie and Lisa, our Polly Mitchell Global Realty international property experts, currently recommend Grand View Estates. This small community is gated for security, and larger lots of 2.25 acres allow for privacy. Situated on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, just 30 minutes from the quaint town of Siquirres and 35 minutes from the coastal town of Limon, this community is nestled in the Cordillera de Talamanca mountains. Essential infrastructure is already in place including gates at both entrances, 12 miles of road, and electricity already built. There is also a community building with a community pool perfect for socializing with your new expat friends. Grand View Estates also boasts an established equestrian center nearby. Horse lovers will certainly find a home here.
The best part about this property is that your home has yet to be built! This means a home customized for your needs. There is a reliable and skilled builder onsite to make your dream home a reality. He has built many of the existing homes in this development and has a team ready to build yours! Local building laws allow for structures under @600 square feet to be built without a permit or architect, and septic is included in the building plans and cost. Build multiple 2 bedroom/2 bath dwellings for $60,000US each, allowing for you to have rental income and make money even if you aren't there year round!

Being a full or part-time resident of Costa Rica is easy as there are several visa options that allow you to live there long-term without a steady job. Excellent medical care is also available with one of their affordable private insurance plans. Costa Rica is a safe place to live. According to the US Overseas Security Advisory Council's 2020 report, the main thing to watch out for is petty theft. Just be sure to keep your wallet or purse in a "difficult to snatch" place on your body or use a money belt when out and about. Costa Rica has seen a year-over-year reduction in crime since 2017 due to a government focused on keeping its people safe.
