.... prefer selling all
together, but may sell separately. Will consider barter for
"something" (!) of similar value in USA or
The Netherlands. Will consider holding paper for
substantial down payment. PRICE... I'm thinking $160,000. Make offer!!!
Casa Rana has a rancho/workshop, with a breakfast bar that seats 8. It's
a nice place to lounge in hammocks and enjoy bird watching...Great
for a barbecue!
There is a small coffee farm, with mature banana, plantain,
guava, guayaba, mango, cas, manzana de agua, and citrus trees, as well many other local plants.
I have started a herb garden behind the kitchen.
Calle Leon, San Ramon is a 45 minute drive from
the San Jose airport.
At more than 3400 ft above sea level,
it has a fresh cool mountain climate.
Easy access to everything (by car or by
bus) yet in a quiet country setting.
Our dead end
street is 3 miles outside San Ramon, directly off the
Autopista
There is plenty of room build more rental
units, where the ocean view is prettiest.
Electricity: Both houses have been completely rewired to
modern standards. Bathrooms are
handicap accessible with wall bars throughout.
The sturdy lower house asks to be converted into a
2- storey chalet. Add a second story made of wood
(still slightly cheaper than concrete, and much prettier)
with balconies on 3 sides to watch the birds and feel the
breezes ( I have been talking to a great carpenter who
lives nearby to do the job...His prices are reasonable and
his work excellent ).
Satellite TV is present, but the dish on the upper house
is not hooked up.( I find antenna TV adequate.) The guest house has its
own satellite dish...the service is SKY Net......Hi Speed
internet works well.....Phone
service: ICE. There
are two cell phones and one land line that you can take
over...Land lines and cell
phone chips can be hard to come by in Costa Rica....I ordered, and paid
for another land line two years ago for the upper house and
I am
still waiting. CAFTA may help....
Assets are held in a Costa Rican corporation.... transfer is piece of cake.
My 1997 Hyundai Accent GT is also available. Car prices
here are high due to the import tax. Cars have to pass a
yearly inspection, and pay an annual road tax. I'm asking 2
million Colones for my car....about $3636.
which is a GOOD price....can you BELIEVE it...!!!!???
Also available are my (locally hand made) furniture, and appliances...Will
sell/barter/trade. Equity in the neighborhood of $160,000.
May hold paper. Make offer !!!

It is entirely possible to live comfortably in Costa
Rica on a yearly income of $15,000.....with a maid and a
gardener. My monthly electric bill for both houses
stays under $40. My water bill is about $10 a month. Phone
lines cost $6 a month each...My washer/drier are the
biggest consumers. Gas price here is about $4 a gallon.
Numerous expats have settled in and around the San Ramon
area.
Since the central valley from San Jose
north and west offer some of the best
climates during the year with good
access to the international airport
near San Jose, at less expensive
prices, many expats have retired in the
areas close to the towns of Grecia,
Naranjo, Sarchi, Palmares, and San
Ramon. The expat social network is
extensive....no need to feel lonely
here even if you might not speak
Spanish!
