About Costa Rica - Land Ownership Laws

Ownership is the key word when you are considering Costa Rica Real Estate. You actually own titled property and have the same rights as a Costa Rican citizen. Check the World Fact book at:

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/cs.html

In many countries, you must actually be a citizen or partnered with a citizen to even lease property. Such is the case in Mexico where land is leased for a 99-year term or less in some circumstances. In fact, you run less risk in Costa Rica than in the United States of having your land obstructed by eminent domain.

Look at the statistics; several hundred thousand US citizens either live as permanent residents or spend part of the calendar year in Costa Rica. Well over one-million tourists visit Costa Rica each year and that is growing at 15+ percent each year.

Activities

From one of Central America's best surf breaks, world class angling with billfish releases common in the double digits to the best eco-trekking in the world, Costa Rica is the world's best outdoor playground, bar-none.

Here are some local links you might want to check out when you are in the area. I was first attracted by the world class fishing and easy accessibility. Drop me an email and I can help you put together a trip. You can see the property and have lots of fun doing all types of things in the local area that include fishing, surfing, sea kayaking, zip-lining, bird watching, horseback riding, hiking, or visit one of the many national parks.
