Welcome to the health and wellness haven of Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific Zone, where breathtaking landscapes meet a thriving lifestyle. As an Associate Broker with Blue Zone Realty International, I often have to play tour guide while I navigate from listing to listing with clients. It’s a great opportunity to share my own LIVE, LOVE, PLAY experience which brought me to a healthier way of living in this unique region.
The final quarter of 2023 was back to a pre-pandemic “seasonal” market. Inventory has been built up over the slower months and sellers are ready to negotiate. It’s a great time to get into the market. With homes selling at 98-100% of list price in 2022, even capturing a savings of 2 or 3% is a big difference in this strong trade area. But let’s talk about more than just sales stats this issue – It’s the Live, Love, Play issue!
Nature’s Real Estate
The fusion of majestic mountains and pristine coastline in the Southern Pacific Zone sets the stage for an unparalleled outdoor experience. Picture yourself exploring medium to advanced hiking terrains that not only challenge you physically but also reward you with panoramic views that stretch from the peaks to the ocean. Trekking along gravel roads to discover hidden waterfalls becomes a lifestyle choice, connecting you intimately with the natural surroundings.
Savor the Local Flavors
One of the perks of residing in this region is the abundance of locally sourced food that supports your journey towards a healthier lifestyle. As a real estate advisor, we show you neighborhoods close to vibrant farmers markets, where fresh and organic produce beckon residents to fill their homes with nutrient-rich options. Uncover exotic superfoods you’ve never heard of, and get to know local vendors who are eager to share their culinary
wisdom.
Active Living, Everyday
Adjusting to the daily rhythm of the Southern Pacific Zone might be a culture shift, but it’s a delightful one. Picture strolling for miles on pristine beaches with friends or pets, creating an active and rejuvenating routine. Exploring a new waterfall each week not only keeps you physically engaged but also provides a fantastic talking point when interacting with fellow expats, new and seasoned.
Local Wisdom, Global Living
When immersing yourself in this community, it’s essential to tap into the knowledge of those who have already made this paradise their home. Engage with fellow expats, and enjoy conversations that reveal invaluable insights into the community and its surroundings. Your journey to a health and wellness lifestyle in Costa Rica starts with the experiences of those who’ve paved the way. The old adage, people love talking about themselves is true. We love to share our experiences.
Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific Zone is not just a destination; it’s a lifestyle choice that seamlessly blends natural beauty with healthy living. From captivating mountain and coastline views to a locally sourced food scene and a plethora of outdoor activities, this region offers the ideal backdrop for your pursuit of well-being. As a person that moved here 10 years ago with no hobbies, I discovered asking questions was a great way to meet people and find ways to join the community.
