Real Estate Options Abound in Manuel Antonio

Costa Rica Manuel Antonio National Park
BREATHTAKING mountain views, a mystical rain forest with thousands of plant and animal species, sunsets illuminating the Pacific Ocean… imagine having all this in your backyard. For those looking to own a dream home, Manuel Antonio is hard to beat.

Thanks to a recent building boom in the area and an active real estate market, there are now more options than ever for owning property in this town along Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast. Good appreciation of property values expected in the coming years makes Manuel Antonio a lucrative area in which to invest.

Whether you’re looking for the perfect house or condo, an empty lot on which to build or an investment property, real estate specialists in the area are ready to guide you through the process of making your dream a reality. Here are a few of the experts and what they offer: Bienes Raíces Portasol Portasol is a unique development project comprising 1,300 acres of land to be built in stages over the next 10 years.

Portasol uses the concept of “ecological land development” to minimize impact on surrounding forestland, said sales agent Manrique Salas. The houses’ roofs, for example, use a special type of non-reflective zinc that does not distract birds in flight.

Located between Manuel Antonio and Ballena national parks, Portasol offers three acre and five acre lots ranging from $40,000-48,000 per acre. Each lot has either a mountain, river basin, ocean or rain forest view. Several different floor plans are available for houses to be built on these lots, including a four bedroom, two story model and a smaller two bedroom house.

Portasol employs an interdisciplinary team of architects, engineers, lawyers and business administrators to help you through the process of buying and building. Additionally, an advisory group of biologists, artists and economists is on hand for consultation. Salas said now is a great time for investors to become involved in Portasol.

The Manuel Antonio area is expected to experience a land price value appreciation with the construction of the southern coastal highway, scheduled to be completed in the next few years.
