REAL ESTATE

The beautiful coastline of Northern Guanacaste including Flamingo Beach has finally come of age in terms of its ability to attract world class hotel and resort facilities and at the same time provide visitors and investors with the amenities necessary to make the area a truly desirable location in which to own a second home. The province has become home to several thousand U.S expatriate residents who have succumbed to the beauty of this region. In an era in which many people are looking for a more adventurous and exotic lifestyle, Costa Rica with its spectacular beaches, unique ecology, friendly people and wealth of adventure activities finds itself perfectly positioned to cater to this growing market.

Once visited by Elizabeth Taylor and other celebrities, Flamingo Beach is considered by both local as well as overseas visitors as one of Costa Rica’s premier beach locations.Flanked by two spectacular ridges and with a white sand beach in between, the resort attracts tourists year round and is home to a growing number of expatriate residents. Flamingo boasts a number of high quality amenities including a full service marina (currently closed, though due to be upgraded and re-opened), the Country Day School and the Robert Trent Jones II championship golf course at nearby Conchal. The International Airport at Liberia is a fifty minute drive from our resort and is currently receiving 29 flights per week including regular scheduled services provided by American, Delta, Continental and North West airlines. Between 2003 and 2004 , international traffic through Liberia almost doubled with the airport receiving some 179,000 passengers and further expansion of services and passenger traffic is projected this year. With increased accessibility and growing demand, a beautiful climate and great beaches it is not surprising that more and more people are opting to reside or simply invest in this very dynamic real estate market.

True to our pioneering spirit , in 2002 the Flamingo Marina Resort Development team ventured north and since then has been successfully managing and developing one of Nicaragua’s finest gated beach community’s some 60 miles up the coast from Flamingo. Nicaragua, like Costa Rica, is undergoing a period of tremendous growth in terms of tourism and investment and with democracy firmly in place since 1992 Nicaragua’s real estate market continues to flourish. Title insurance can be obtained through First American Title and overseas investors are acquiring Nicaraguan property at an impressive rate. At Hacienda Playa Iguana our spectacular 100 hectare hacienda style gated community continues to go from strength to strength. The beach itself is considered to be one of Nicaragua’s finest with beautiful white sand, a blue ocean and abundant vegetation. It is bordered to the north by a lagoon and to the south by a fresh water river. Not only does the beach offer magnificent surfing but i t is also good for swimming due to its shallow gradient.

At Hacienda Playa Iguana, we are committed to creating a unique residential community in which development takes place in an ecologically sensitive way and in harmony with the natural surroundings of this very special area. For this reason we have prepared a master-plan which includes neighbourhoods zoned specifically for beach, river front or ranch style single family homes, condominiums and commercial, park and recreational areas. Within each zone measures and controls are in place to ensure that the community evolves in a well-balanced and integrated fashion. Our single family home lots are governed by an association with its own rules and regulations which will guarantee quality and standards of construction and in doing so protect and enhance property values. Prestige Resort Properties will be happy to answer any questions you have regarding availability and prices. Telephone 506-654-4141 extension 121 or e-mail tim@flamingomarina.com
