Costa Rica Scout

House in sunny Costa Rica in a central, quiet and urban location. You’ll feel at home in this tico and American family neighborhood with eternal spring; it’s always green!

Furthermore, easy and fast flights to the states: 5 ½ hours to New York, 3 hours to Miami.

Easy shipping, house to house with “automatic” customs' clearance, at affordable prices. (I have shipped computers, flat-screen TVs, cameras, books, clothing, etc. from Milford NH door to door).

Please NOTE: This home has some deferred maintenance. The owner lives in Chile and has lowered the price significantly with this in mind. Specifically, the home needs new gutters: old ones overflowed causing minor water damage on the eaves and inside wall/ceiling. Driveway needs a few replacement tiles. As always, buyer is encouraged to have a complete home inspection.
