Thinking the United States is no longer such a good option? Have you considered the only truly democratic and military-free country south of the border?
Costa Rica is becoming a haven worth investigating.

What had been a hidden-away B&B could be easily adapted to a strong family or group compound:
• 5 furnished family villas, each with full bath, full kitchen, bedroom, living room, dining area, covered porch and screens throughout.
• 3 furnished single rooms sharing two full baths.
• One worker`s house positioned at the entrance, which is guarded by a large security gate.
• A covered all tiled outdoor dining area with full kitchen (rancho), two sinks, 3 fridges, gas barbeque, long bar with stools, 5 tables and chairs (currently seats 28), overlooking garden and jungle with distant view of the Pacific Ocean.
• All of this next to the all tiled swimming pool and small Jacuzzi jet pool, great water therapy after a day`s work.
• Two extra storage rooms next to the rancho for potential office, pantry, internet, etc.
• Large centrally located laundry facility, big enough for all, as well as gym and massage facilities.
PLUSES:
Very heavy construction of best quality materials - built to last.
Excellent abundant clean Mt. spring water supply coming in from two different locations on the property. Potential ground water available for a well, though not needed.
Costa Rica is generally known for clean water, especially in the mountainous areas This property is in the foothills of the Costeña
Mountains of Southern Costa Rica. The Coronado River, flows below the property across the road and empties into the Pacific Ocean. Even at highest flood stage this river has never endangered this property. (Think possible hydroelectric options)
Electrical system is up to the highest standards. There are nine separate meters, so every building can be individually managed. Cables are all buried; every location has its own breaker box. All is done to the last detail.
The septic system is more than adequate. There are four large American style tanks, all accessible, that can easily handle daily demands.
Main buildings are not visible to any neighbors.. Main paved road is 1.6 miles away. This location is on a loop road providing two approaches to the property, one requiring 4x4. The roads are not publically obvious--easy to keep casual passersby`s at a distance. This location is easy to secure and easy to defend.
This property is zoned residential and this is a great advantage. It is not subject to laws governing commerce, which avoids higher taxes, public accessibility, doubled electric rates and higher corporate taxes. Can be put in a shell corporation with no or low corporate taxes, with owner`s names kept anonymous under Costa Rican law (Sociedad Anonima) S.A Corp).
This property is far enough away from shoreline to be safe from storms. It is with protective mountain ridges between you and the ocean, yet close enough to enjoy.

OTHER FEATURES:
Main buildings are situated on almost 3 acres with another 2.5 acres adjacent and immediately available for only $25K. (If more acreage is desired, more adjacent land could be investigated as this is a rural area.). Room for terraced food gardens, goat shelters, hen houses, green houses, aqua-farming, additional living quarters, etc.
The only foreseeable upgrade might be some roof repair some years down the road. The existing building walls are of such solid construction that roof weight will not be a concern. Adding solar panels, hot water systems, will not be a problem.
No heat or air-conditioning is ever mandatory in this climate, so power needs can be minimized.
Good DSL internet connection is in place.
Local fruit grows abundantly here. There are many established fruit –bearing trees already on this property. Herbicides, pesticides, added fertilizers are not needed. Great for canning!
The rest of the outside world is about twenty minutes away--banking, gas stations, pharmacy and new hospital, buses and big grocery stores. (Mini market and butcher less than two miles away.)
This is a good spot for domestic pets.
_______________________________________________________
The cost of building material and labor here would greatly exceed the asking price of this property. It is much to your advantage to purchase an already existing property and adapt it to your needs.
The time-savings alone can be enormous, especially taking into consideration permits, language barriers, worker`s rights, delivery time for materials, etc, etc, etc. Here, very little is needed. The place is ready for immediate occupancy.
Owner is a North American woman who is becoming elderly and simply needs to retire. She is bi-lingual and available to stay on for a little while to help you transition to a new country, or can vacate immediately-as you wish.
Asking: $575,000.
Includes most all furniture, fixtures, appliances, equipment, etc.
Title documents can be configured to satisfy residency requirements for possibly several couples and their under aged children thereby guaranteeing permanent legal status here in Costa Rica.
It is also worth noting that the real estate investment will not only support the homeowner`s own application, but would also cover his or her immediate family members, who will be living together as a household. This means residency will be granted to the `main` applicant, and to his or her spouse and children (under 18), while students up to the age of 25, as well as parents or in-laws, are also allowed to be included in this application under so-called `special condition.`
