Folks—if you
have been interested in investing here but have
procrastinated, debated and waited now is the time to get
off the
fence, preserve your wealth and prosper!
Costa Rica
is not only a safe harbor from Hurricanes but we
have also
been protected from the battering of the recent
financial
storm that has hit the U.S. Why? Historically Costa
Rica has
avoided deep investments in Wall Street funds.
Instead, it
has invested in what it knows works. Low-risk,
long term
investments like Wal-Mart, Proctor and Gamble, Colgate, Intel
and U.S. treasury bonds. For a supposed “third world country”
they have sure made some good decisions.
A lot of the
clients I work with take advantage of tax free rollovers from
existing
retirement
accounts into self-directed IRA’s. This and other 1031 like
plans can give you peace of mind knowing you can invest in what
you know will be safe and earn you money. In quite a few past
correspondences with clients I have encouraged them to invest in
something they have direct control over. I am no financial guru
but in light of the recent happenings it is proven that to trust
others with these important decisions is a truly risky venture!
Success is a choice and can’t be left to chance. We have had
several clients purchase lots without ever having been to Costa
Rica! These are people who keep their fingers on the pulse of
international opportunities and we offer one of the best
opportunities in the world. Just ask our friends at
International Living—we are regular seminar speakers at their
conferences throughout the world.

Our new world class arena and equestrian center
In Costa Rica
horses have been an important part of life and
society for
generations. We intend to keep that tradition alive!
Even if you
are not a horse lover yet it would be hard not
to
want to at
least try taking a long beautiful ride over the mountains
and thru the
streams here at Grand View and deep into the majestic
Talamanca
Range.
Expert or
novice, birdwatcher or hiker, fun and adventure await.
We will also
have huge pool, Jacuzzi, lake and rodeo arena.
The under
roof training arena will be one of the countries best, enabling
year round
training and great shows. A leisurely winding path will take you
to one of our most spectacular waterfalls where you can enjoy a
picnic lunch listening to the soothing sounds of the tumbling
water cascading into deep blue pools.

the surrounding
Caribbean wonderland.

Talk about perfect weather and diving conditions!
September and October are beautiful, especially the sea- it
is so blue and tranquil. Visibility is great and I
particularly like the shore diving. I can bring my wife and
family and while they are relaxing in the shade of the Palm
trees I can explore the reef.
In this and upcoming newsletters I will try to
highlight an activity and especially how it can be enjoyed
here on the beautiful Caribbean side of Costa Rica |
As a PADI
scuba instructor one of the reasons I moved to Costa Rica is to
enjoy year round diving. If I never dive a 50 degree quarry
again I will be ok with that! The water temperature is usually a
balmy 84 degrees. My wetsuits are collecting dust.(and
shrinking?)
The Caribbean
side is very diverse and holds something for everyone—Manatees
and Dolphins and plenty of Caribbean Reef fish. You can shore
dive or check out one of the local dive shops. I will be
starting some tours of the local Limon area in the near future.
A sign of the
great positive growth in this area is the new dive shops—three
new ones in the last few months! One of my favorites is Punta
Uva dive center. Punta Uva is rated as one of the most beautiful
beaches in the world. In characteristic
Caribbean laid-back fashion you can just walk into the dive center
at any time—say
1:30 in the
afternoon and ask to be taken out for a 1 tank dive and they
will do their best to accommodate you. With all new equipment
and plenty of instructors around this is a great choice for your
diving needs. Just tell Luca’s that Gill sent you!

Phase 3 is open!
Our Rolling
Hills
Phase 1 is sold out and quite a few lots in phase 2 have
been sold although we still have a couple very nice lots
available for only $48,500. Everyone who has toured Grand View
has felt the project is even better than they had hoped for and
the prices can’t be beat!
The topographer has recently finished his work in phase 3
our road is cut in. Phase 3 consists of 32 lots and on average
these are large 2 acre parcels. There is a nice variety of lot
layout and almost all lots have stream frontage
Typical
Stream Front
Costa Rica’s
topography is varied, this is one of the aspects that adds a
uniqueness not to be found anywhere else. It also provides a
selection of lots to suit different tastes and desires.
Please Contact me for more information on Special Lot
pricing and unique features.

In the news
Costa Rica
Forever-
President
Oscar Arias and two environmental organizations are lining up
the first $50 million of what they hope will be an $80 million
endowment to help preserve many of Costa Rica’s beautiful
natural areas in perpetuity.
Costa Rican
Windmills-
Twenty-eight new windmills rise along the skyline of a
wind-swept ridge in the northwestern
province
of Guanacaste. The Wind Power Project of Guanacaste aims to
double the country’s wind power production with 55 new
windmills.
Costa Rica
is striving toward a goal of producing all of it’s electricity
from clean energy.
Plans for
marina scrapped-
Plans for a
controversial marina in the
Caribbean
waters of Puerto Viejo have been called off. Because of the harm
to the local environment that would have been caused the vocal
opposition of local residents chalks up a win! Opponents said
the marina would have destroyed local legendary surf breaks,
including the internationally known “Salsa Brava”. It also would
have done irreparable harm to the offshore coral reef.
Our
newsletter-
I hope you
found our first edition of Grand View Estates newsletter helpful
in understanding what we offer. Our aim is to also provide some
insight as to what is happening in Costa Rica and why we love
living here!
