What situation are you looking for exactly?  I may know of other options that may suite you more.

I bought it for one of my workers to live in, plus it's features were very attractive in case
I wanted to sell one day and to possibly hold for friends or family that may want it.
But they are slackers it seems

I have my own 50 acre farm just 5 mins away too and do not really need this property.
I'm looking to diversify my assets more since I don't need a farm and already have
enough projects and food on my larger farm.


Already mentioned but here again...

Wimax has just come to the area so 4Mb wimax is available.  I find the 2Mb service is fine for me at about $30/month.

Previously I paid for internet at an apartment in the town below in the valley and beamed it up with a 10km point to point antenna setup.  If you want to do that, 40Mb fiber is available if you get the right p2p antennas


PM me with your email and I'll send you a google earth screen shot.

Property management could actually be a HUGE business here.  Lots of foreigners buy here and build nice furnished houses but do not stay all year.  They do not have an option for property managment to keep the houses rented or watched. I thought about doing this.  If someone wanted to partner with such, I'd be willing to help put it together and market it locally as well as work out some logistics.

bitcoin accessible to many here?  I plan on making it so.  Lots in the expat community wanting to create a local currency. 

A bitcoin ATM could work... for locals that receive month from family working in the USA.
Only gouging companies like WU exists now... I'd consider partners to make this happen as well.
Anyone in NY or New Jersey area interested in setting up a bitcoin ATM in the area?  Reason is
that is where the largest Costa Rica working population exists outside of CR.  Lots send money back to CR from there.

Yes, the property is up in the hills at 3500 feet or 1100 meters with nice views. Temp is rarely below
65F at night and 85F in the day.  Seems to always be nice and cool to me.  My kitchen and living room
are actually out on a balcony.  Average temp is in the 72-75F range. Moderate and mild.  I could not take beach living. Beach is great to visit.  45min on back roads but too out to live at.   I have a tsunami phobia as well.

Things are generally green all year round here unlike the norther part of Costa Rica which all turns brown in dry season.


The people and extended expat community is what convinced me to move to the area.  Lots of  like minded folk leery of the state of the world and thinking it's better to live in a farming community, get sustainable  and collect metals.  Lots of talk of implementing a local currency


Electricity is not as bad as I thought it would be.  It's out 1-3 times a month and just for a few minutes. Never a day without electricity that I can remember in 7 years.    What I do is put the most important stuff (computers, internet, phone on a solar panel and battery back up) system so I'm never outa touch.
Electricity is more expensive here so not a good place for a mining operation.

Wimax has just come to the area so 4Mb wimax is available.  I find the 2Mb service is fine for me at about $30/month.

The old house could maybe rent for $75-100/month as it is.
Nicer newer 2-3 bedroom places could go for $300-$400 if they are furnished
in the case you built another house which can be done for $10-15,000.

The guy living it it now works a certain number of hours for me each month to pay for the rent and he
also keeps up the house.

Another person manages the banana and plantain portion of the farm and I take a cut of that.
Maybe a few hundred per year off that.

My main farm is just 5 minute walk away where I live.  So as far as management goes...
best to let the local farmer maintain the crops to keep things looking pretty and take a 25% cut of that.

Since I'm close I can send you pictures periodically and help keep an eye on things
if you are not around or help find someone to stay there to help up keep it.
Kinda like how things are working with it now.

Hold on to it for diversification and as a backup plan.
It's a great place to build a nice getaway cabin and be able to grow all your food so you're
taken care of when the system finally collapses

Why do people keep harping on the legal tax minimizing jurisdiction of Cypus.  
Tax stuff is completely retarded and besides the point!

Who actually  PLANS to move to a high tax jurisdiction anyway....
and how does a poor jurisdiction bring investment and business?

Cypus made laws to attract money and businessmen
that turned a rock in the water into a thriving economy.

This man and possibly many others probably worked their  A$$ off to save over 100k only to have it
stolen.

Meanwhile, facebook pays no taxes since they're based in bermuda!  yeah right!   Blatant Evasion!

EU is performing middle class robbery.  The only group of people that post a threat to the EU.
Business people that are smart and can think.  

It's even more criminal to take a functioning bushinesses working capital or that of any man's savings even if there was tax incentives to be there.   The Cyprus/EU bait and switch?
If this is what the world has come to run for the hills.

They had to leave the accounts with 100k or less alone to keep the rioters off the streets.
Since 100k and less account holders are the majority of people.  
The business folk losing tons will not be out in mass rioting like the smaller account holders would have been.

...and if this is an example of what most small to medium size businesses are facing Cyprus is TOAST!

What profitable business that did have over 100k in their bank account is going to want to stick around.
(unless you want to help rebuild with a bitcoin based biz an economy)  
and what business is going to save over 100k or any money in backs again in Cyprus.

Warning to the rest of the world.
Get you money out of banks

The only other way to fight back at this point is to leave the country and ideally for a non-euro jurisdiction.
I would not stick around.

I'm the seller so you can post questions in this thread as well and I will respond.

Finca Fogon

Finca Fogon is a 2.5 acre farm property with a tico house that has incredible views, it's own spring water, fruit trees and the perfect year round spring weather on fertile land with lots of mature fruit trees. Altitude is about 1050 meters which gives you the perfect temperature year round at about 70-75F

Additional building site would allow someone to live in the tico house while a more modern house is being build. Keep the old house for guests or workers.

Officially 1 hectare, the property is about 10 miles and 30 minutes from the 3rd largest city in Costa Rica called San Isidro de General. The last 4-5 miles of road is a rocked road that is is passable most of the year by even 2 wheel drive cars.

There is a medium size old tico house in liveable condition that once had 3 small bedrooms but has been converted to have 1 large one currently.

Property Features

Rectangular lot with about 300-400 meters along the roadside
The lot slopes down slightly from the road with valley views of the town San Isidro below where you can even pick out the tall steeple church in the distance
Property faces generally faces east so you have nice sunrise views as well as view of Mount Chirripo in the distance, the highest mountain top in Costa Rica
Very fertile soil with lots of trees growing and nice large section for larger crops
We have grown large crops of sweet potatoes, corn, beans and have had a large coffee nursery.
Small swales dug on contour for growing as well as some for drainage
The property is roughly made up of
¼ old forest
¼ banana and plantain plantation and other fruit trees
¼ house area with workshop and chicken house
¼-1/3 cleared land used for periodic gardens, large planting area and possible new house site. (About 300 plantain plants have just been planted in this part of this area. They produce for about 2 years)

Spring Water
Though the property has town managed mountain spring water, a year round spring in the center of the property is about 100 meters from the house. The spring has a cement wall enclosure but needs a new top. A previous owner pumped this spring water up to holding tank for use in the house. It even has water in the catchment box during the driest part of dry season with a nice trickle of water running out. It's possible to setup a pump that uses falling water pressure to pump spring water back to house or use it to fill a small pond on the lower part of the property.

Trees

One of the greatest features of this property is that there are already so many producing mature fruit trees
Estimating the trees would give you about:
200-300 export quality banana plants plus several other varieties of bananas producing now.
300 plantain plants recently planted
4-6 mature producing guanbana trees
4-8 mature producing mango trees
1 Heart of palm pejebaye clump of trees
6-10 citris trees including sweet oranges and native oranges and lemons
native passion fruit
papaya, guava, guayaba, etc.
several other various fruit trees, some coffee, 1 coconut and other useful plants

Structures and facilities

House
1-3 bedroom old rustic tico house in decent living condition and currently occupied by a tico that rents and maintains the property
Initially 3 small bedrooms but wall removed created now one large bedroom.
Partial cement slab with mostly wooden wall and some wooden floor construction.
Metal roof
1 bath, Large living room kitchen area.
Additional dining which was old kitchen area
Large laundry wash area on cement slab with 3 walls and one side open.
Utilities

Workshop
½ wall open air workshop with half walls and wooden floor and metal roofing

Do you think it will be possible?  How about today?  I have one for sale now...
2.5 acre mountain farm in Costa Rica.  Very rustic 3 bedroom house on it. Water, Electricity, 4MB internet access. literally 100s of fruit trees producing now, great views and nearly self-sustainable.  Year round spring time weather at 72F.  Never too hot or cold.  Great for a backup or get away place in one of the safest jurisdictions today.... especially with global economic collapse around the corner.

Price can fluctuate, but, todays price is only BTC2000 bitcoin.  Who would have thought you could get such just 1-2 years ago.

Property is in a corp so can easily transfer corp title to new owner.

exactly... forget about having to move/wire funds around.. holds on funds, being scrutinized and who knows what other excuses they will be coming with to restrict money transfers.

PM me if you want more details or if anyone else is serious about buying such

I believe a pyramid scheme is one in which you are paid to refer other to the scheme like a network marketing company world work that pays several levels in some cases.  Not actually illegal but depends on the product or service being sold and if people are joining just for the sake of money and nothing else.

A ponzi is when client or investor funds is used to pay off previous clients to build trust and convince clients of the legitimacy of the investment or program to entice them to continue with the program or invest even more.  This is actually deceptive and illegal in most cases.

"but if 96% of money is "earned" and 4% is "recycled" then its not?"
LOL..  Anyone that says that is running a scam or con.  Fraud is fraud.

Still makes you wonder how the Private Federal Reserve Corporation that creates, prints and loans money to the US Government Treasury can get away with what they do.  I can be argued that they do their own version of the ponzi when they bail out banks with money created out of thin air to convince the average taxpayer that the system still works... "keep working and paying more taxes"...  hmmmm
Something has to give one day in any ponzi. 
 

Ripple and bitcoin together can be the foundation of what can actually replace the banks as we know them.

If the new Ripple implementation is open enough, many applications and uses can be written on top of it
which will open up a whole slew of new tools for money and transactions.

That question does not really fit in how bitcoin and Ripple work.

Ripple is it's own system that will likely use  bitcoin p2p software
to keep track of debits and credits between people you trust.
That part is INDEPENDENT of bitcoin

Ripple will allow anyone more easily act as a bitcoin exchanger between people you trust.

Ripple facilitates local transactions without the need for ANY cash, currency or bitcoin
and can work fine between just 2 people that don't buy anything from the rest of the world.
Bitcoin technology and coins function more as the backbone and for transactions
where you do not trust the selling party or when you want to deal outside of your trusted
network or internationally.
