 · Montezuma Real Estate in Costa Rica ·

Today, Montezuma has become a desirable destination for people from all over the world. Recently, the Lonely Planet placed Montezuma on its list as one of the safest and most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica. What makes Montezuma so unique is its strong and growing international community. A large percentage of year round foreign residents are artists: builders, craftspeople, creative chefs and people working in the healing arts. Montezuma hosts a variety of hotels, from economy to luxury. Also available are a large selection of cabinas, some with kitchenettes and all offered at an economy rate. Montezuma has several private beach houses available for rent as well as luxury villas. In short, there are accommodations to fit every budget. But if one really wants a first class vacation in Montezuma- rent a luxury villa for just the two of you, or an entire group up to 15 people!

Montezuma Vacation Rentals

Montezuma boasts some fabulous restaurants from fine international to typical Costa Rican eating. Among mentioning is Cocolores, which offers Asian cuisine and Playa de Artistas, a Mediterranean restaurant. There are several grocery stores that offer fresh produce and imported fine wines along with a variety of souvenir and clothing shops, an art gallery, and several Internet cafes. Every Saturday is market day in the communal space next to the children's playground in the center of town. This is an all-organic market that offers fabulous produce all year. It also is a great place to meet people and converse with fellow residents. There is a Kindergarten, as well as, a small Montessori school that offer their services. There are efforts underway to establish an international school here in the area.

The Montezuma village is very small due to topographical limitations. However, there's room for commercial and residential growth up along the surrounding hills of the town. The landscape around Montezuma is spectacular, with beautiful long stretches of white sand beaches between scenic rocky outcroppings. The farthest stretch of beach ends 6 km from the village and is bordered by a cascade which splashes into the sea. Another waterfall, located in the jungle south of the village, can be accessed by foot along a trail and is the right place to be during hot summer days. The hills in the back of Montezuma are covered with tropical forest, home to a large variety of animals including two species of monkeys; the white faced capuchin and howler monkey. You will also find deer, armadillo, iguanas, kinajous, jaguar and many species of colorful birds.

SETTLEMENT AROUND MONTEZUMA

People have settled along the 7 km road from Cóbano to Montezuma. Many of the properties listed in this area offer impressive views, as well as exceptional commercial opportunity. The road from Montezuma to Cóbano winds up to approximately 250 m above sea level. Many properties up here offer spectacular views of the gulf and the open sea. In this region, prices are lower than along the road up from Montezuma thru Delicias.

CÓBANO

Cóbano is the commercial center of the entire region known as the Southern Nicoya Peninsula. The commercial center of the area has a full service bank (Banco National) with an ATM machine, several supermarkets, hardware stores, a post office, a clinic, a pharmacy, several Dental Clinics, Restaurants, 2 butcher shops, an internet café, gas station, a public library and governmental departments.
Life in and around Cóbano is still very rural and typical of Costa Rican country life. The tourist market and the construction sector in the area are growing fast - but country life is still very present with cattle along the road and men on horseback. The town has applied for its cantonal independence and is definitely on its way to modernization. For business purposes apart from tourism, it is the most interesting spot of the Peninsula Sur de Nicoya.
Properties in and around Cóbano cost less than beach locations - a good alternative if you intend to set up a business or desire to have everything conveniently close to your residence. Travel by bus or a car to Montezuma is about 15 minutes and to Mal Pais/ Santa Teresa, about 25 minutes. The surrounding landscape is beautiful, displaying tropical green vegetation backed with rolling green mountains. Here you will find cattle and horses grazing freely under a wide blue sky.

DELICIAS

Most properties that Tropisphere lists in Delicias have very commanding views of the Pacific ocean. The soil is fertile and some properties have river access. Delicias is a large rural area and has recently been developed for year-round living. Roads have been cut and property boundaries defined. Electricity and a communal water supply have been established for potential housing projects. There are several spectacular properties still for sale in this area, and the potential here is great. Several large projects are right now under construction.

CABUYA

Another attractive living possibility in the Montezuma area is along the southern coastal stretch towards Cabuya and the Cabo Blanco National Park. Turquoise waters hug the beaches here at Las Manchas, Las Rocas and Los Cedros. Cabuya village is located approximately 7 km south of Montezuma.
