Turn Key Homes Under $500k

By in Business with 0 Comments

There’s something about the Santa Teresa and Mal Pais area that draws people back time and time again. It’s a common story to hear people say they’ve visited annually for five or ten years, now. Some come for a week or two, others a month. Many live here for 3 to 6 months out of the year or more. You could fall into any one of these categories and find that a turnkey home might be the perfect purchase for you. We at RE/MAX Pura Vida have lined up a few under $500K options that could make your repeat visits pay for themselves and secure you a little piece of paradise in the process.

Mal Pais Jungle House

The “Jungle House” as it’s been dubbed, built in 2010, is the perfect home for anyone who dreams of the jungle. Run entirely on solar power, with a back-up generator on hand and running water all year long, this 3-story home is wrapped in vibrant Costa Rican jungle containing wild fruits, making it easily the most eco-friendly house on this list. Only a 35-minute drive from the Tambor Airport, you’ll find it surprisingly convenient to arrive at this luxurious two bedroom, two bathroom home. And with an ocean view from the open air 3rd floor and wrap-around balcony, you’ll be able to take in the sunsets and spot the surf from your very own house.

Santa Teresa Home

This lot, located on the North side of Santa Teresa, is zoned for commercial, rental, and residential which fills it with future opportunity. Just a short walk from the more private beaches of Santa Teresa and popular surf breaks, this spacious 1162 square meter property filled with mango trees, is perfect for further development. A two story, two bedroom, two bathroom house with large outdoor spaces already sits on the property, but up to 75 percent of the total land can be developed, so there’s room to expand, rebuild, or add a business, if that’s the plan.

Santa Teresa One Bedroom Home
