Tropisphere and Social Entrepreneurism:

Are you looking for a "dream life" that you could never afford in your home country? Tropisphere Real Estate sells and rent properties in the Southern Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica, specifically in the towns of Santa Teresa, Malpais, Montezuma, Tambor, Cabuya, Manzanillo, and vicinity. Here you will find everything from simple family homes and farms to spectacular ocean view and beachfront properties, luxury villas and eco-resorts.

This region has many of the most beautiful beaches, jungles, wildlife, and waterfalls in Costa Rica, and is relatively undeveloped, so prices are still affordable. Plus, there's already a thriving international community and is known as a haven for artists, musicians, and creative people.

Tropisphere works to attract buyers to our part of Costa Rica who care about the environment and culture where they live.

We are the only realtor in Costa Rica who donates 10% of all our sales commissions to local community projects such as schools and wildlife conservation organizations.

Investing in Costa Rica Real Estate

Why buy Costa Rica Real Estate?

1. 40 million baby-boomers are retiring over the next years, and many are looking for a better quality of life than they can find in the U.S.
2. CNN just reported that 8.9 million Americans have over a million dollars in assets NOT INCLUDING THEIR PRIMARY RESIDENCE.
3. Real Estate markets in the U.S. have topped out, making investing in the U.S. an unattractive option.
4. Many top real estate investing experts are advising the public to buy outside the U.S.
5. Nicaragua is cheaper, but much is not titled. Mexico's land with 200 miles of the beaches isn't titled and can't be owned by foreigners.
6. Violent crime is a problem in almost all Central American countries except Costa Rica, where it's rare.
7. No Malaria in Costa Rica. No army. Low pollution compared with other nearby countries. Stable Democratic government.
8. Steadily increasing prices (20-50% per year) insure a good return on your investment.

Why buy Malpais or Montezuma Real Estate?

Many people ask us why to buy HERE rather than another part of Costa Rica. There are many good reasons why we think this area is the best investment in Costa Rica, as well as the best place to live:

1. The climate in this part of Costa Rica is mild for a beach area. It's cooler and not as dry as the areas farther north, yet drier than the hot, humid and buggy southern areas such as Manuel Antonio and farther south. It's cleaner and much less rainy than the Caribbean side.
2. The prices in Nosara and Tamarindo are already sky high, so we can see how much higher the prices here have to go.
3. This area has many Europeans, so the culture is more diverse. Buyers are coming from more countries than in other areas of Costa Rica.
4. Both Montezuma and Malpais have an incredible assortment of restaurants with great food, including Montezuma's famous 'Playa de los Artistas', considered by many to be the best restaurant in Costa Rica.
5. The terrain in both Montezuma and Malpais has a natural scarcity of building sites. Many other places in Costa Rica have higher hills which aren't as steep, creating an availability of tens of thousands of possible building sites. This natural scarcity in the area insures higher real estate values. Many believe that this area may become one of the most expensive and exclusive beach communities on Earth.
6. The jungle in this area is a transition zone between the dry forests of the north, and the wet forests of the south. As a result, the area is greener, yet still has a dry, comfortable summer.
7. Not only does the area have some of Costa Rica's best surfing, but also some of the best snorkeling and diving, especially near Montezuma and off Cabuya Island. Several visiting professional divers have remarked that it's the best diving on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica because of the abundance of fish.
8. This area is far from any industry of any kind, keeping the area free from pollution in air, water, and even light pollution at night.
9. Because of the geography and rainfall, there are many beautiful waterfalls in the area, especially on the Montezuma side. Many exist for the public to see that aren't famous, and you can have them all to yourselves. Click here for more info: Costa Rica Waterfalls.
