About MANUEL ANTONIO
Manuel Antonio, located on the Central Pacific Coast, is a unique destination which blends the stunning tropical beauty which has come to define Costa Rica on an international level, an authentic Costa Rican port community with more than a century of history, and world class tourism infrastructure and amenities. While even a preliminary tour around this amazing country reveals that natural beauty is rampant, it is nearly impossible to find another destination which combines the elements which have come together to make the Manuel Antonio area one of the most sought after destinations in all of the Americas. Manuel Antonio National Park, the smallest in the park system of Costa Rica, but one of the most visited is a spectacular fusion of idyllic white sand beaches which are lined by lush rainforest teeming with wildlife. No other park offers as user friendly an opportunity to have up close encounters with many of the species iconic to Costa Rica and still be a short stroll away from a pristine beach with turquoise waters lapping to the shore. The 7 kilometer stretch of road from the National Park leading back to Quepos is defined by its dynamic topography and is lined with world class boutique hotels, a diverse gastonomic offering, and endless activities and services. The town of Quepos, which sits at the base of the tropical rainforest and mountains leading to the park, has been the epicenter of the agricultural investments which brought the first international settlers to the region. First with the banana plantations and subsequently with African Palm.
The town of Quepos, provides the infrastructure and amenities which make living and vacationing here so enjoyable and also is home to a sizeable local population which gives this area its unique sense of authenticity and charm. Investors who want the best of all worlds, tend to gravitate to this region which offers the raw beauty of less developed areas, the amenities and services of world class resort destinations, but which also has a real local sense of self and history which many of the communities created by and for tourism lack. Presently the addition of the Marina Pez Vela, which will offer Central America’s first and only full service boat yard; and the expansion of our local airport to be able to accommodate larger planes and private jets are fueling a tremendous interest in the area and buyers are taking advantage of pricing and opportunities which are at the most attractive levels for investors in years. The boutique nature of this community, combined with its beauty, local town, tourism, anchors with the park and Marina, create a pure supply and demand dynamic which no other region in Costa Rica can offer. This combination has made for an area where second homes are almost always sustainable if rented and with many producing strong returns on initial investments for their owners. While not an area whose mega resorts and all inclusive options can flourish given the environmental restrictions on development and small size of the area, for the investor looking for the best of all Costa Rica has to offer, including a community of locals with whom to share experiences, there is NO PLACE like MANUEL ANTONIO.

About
Dominical
Dominical is located in the Central/Southern Pacific Coast, approx a 3 hour drive from San Jose and a 30 minute drive from Quepos/Manuel Antonio. The area is considered the gateway to the southern zone, and is a surfer’s and naturalist’s paradise. The town of Uvita, just 8 miles south of Dominical has become the coastal hub for the area and offers a dynamic, colorful and full service town with a funky demeanor and a growing, eclectic community. When one envisions Costa Rica, thoughts of vibrant jungle, wild Pacific Coast, gushing waterfalls, tropical birds and undeveloped landscapes come to mind. The moniker of Dominical is “Where the Mountains meet Sea,” and nowhere else in Central America do the 1000 to 2000 foot verdant mountains come so close to the coast. This provides a dramatic landscape, stunning ocean and coastal views and a level of natural beauty which is simply intoxicating. Dominical is perhaps the most representative area of what real Costa Rica has to offer. Ease of access but not too close to the capital city and busy towns, a bohemian, surfer vibe which beckons memories of California in the 1950’s or Hawaii in the 1960’s, artistic and home grown businesses, organic farmers markets, fathers taking their kids surfing, art and music festivals, and a growing sense of sustainable community development are some of the primary characteristics of the Dominical area.
A Pacific Coast highway runs along a very thin coastal plain, alongside rocky points, bays, peninsulas, headlands and sandy beaches. The roughly 20 mile stretch of coast which runs from a little north of Dominical just past the colorful community of Ojochal is referred to as the “Costa Ballena” or “Whale Coast” and is quite simply the most dramatic stretch of coast anywhere in the country. The development history of the area also lends to the current state of the pristine landscape. Until 2009, the ‘coastal highway’ which connects the town of Quepos with Dominical was a poorly maintained gravel road. This difficult access kept many tourists and would-be investors at bay, and now that the highway is paved the area is just starting to open up and provides some of the best established, yet up and coming real estate anywhere in Costa Rica. The area still provides solid value, larger estate sized properties, a comfortable service level and infrastructure, and an abundance of natural beautiful. Discover Costa Rica’s most beautiful and relatively undiscovered jewel and align yourself for a lifetime of amazing lifestyle and a legacy in the making.

CASA PACIFIC DREAM Imagine yourself at the end of a beautiful day watching the humpback whales breaching from Marino Ballena National Park. A fifteen minute drive up a rainforest-lined, bumpy Costa Rican road takes you up to 1000 feet in elevation, where you arrive at Casa Pacific Dream. With the touch of a button the electric gate opens, the exterior lights slowly illuminate the trees and gardens, offsetting the modern white facade of your luxury home, and all of the networked systems within the home come online. You walk past a glowing koi pond and scupted gardens. You enter to find your favorite music playing softly in the background and the lights are dimmed to offer a romantic, late-afternoon ambience. You pour one of the mymosas you had previously prepared and saunter out to the rancho-covered terrace to roll yourself out in a reclining chair. The violet sky is reflected in your infinity-edge pool. Beyond, you send your gaze out to Uvita’s famous Whale’s Tail... and farther, to the blue silhouette of the Osa Peninsula... and even farther, to Isla Cano, where you went diving last week... The Casa Pacific Dream is the most modern, sophisticated and elegant home along the Costa Ballena. It is the perfect mix of Costa Rican mountains, verdant rainforest, spectacular ocean views, and contemporary luxury. The entire home is wired with an $80,000 ‘My Home’ smart system, allowing you to control the lighting, music, television and security systems from anywhere in the world where you have an internet connection. You can literally be in Bali, eating gado-gado, and check to see what’s happening in your home on your laptop! The home was designed by a French artist and designer, and is an amalgamation of French Mediterranean and modern tropical influences. Every room in the house--from the master to the kitchen-- looks out to the gorgeous mountain and coastline views, and flows perfectly into the abundant outdoor terraces. Includes an upmarket furniture package.

DE OJOCHAL OJOCHAL | $299,000 This property provides an enormous, well groomed canvas for multiple development options given its easy topography, great access, preferred location, ocean views and ready-to-go utilities. The land can be accessed by either a public road in an attractive residential (estate homes) area or by the end of “Main St” in Ojochal just beside the Balsa River. This property was originally envisioned to have a residential development, sustainable living center, large green spaces, and local business center for micro businesses and services with a very integrated and long term outlook. The plan was shelved due to the onset of the 2008 financial crisis, but in a more recovered market the property and offering are now very well aligned for the next owner to take advantage of buyer’s market pricing and a bright future. One would be hard pressed to find such a generous land parcel with easy, 2 wheel drive access, close proximity to restaurants and services and stunning ocean and mountain views anywhere near this price point. Three additional, adjacent parcels which front “Main St” are also available from the same owner.
