The Ultimate "Live-While-You-Build" Opportunity in Costa Rica's Premier Eco-Corridor
Secure your foothold in the highly sought-after Los Altos neighborhood of Alegria Village. This 1,209 m² (13,013 ft²) dual-residence estate offers the most strategic financial advantage for those moving to the San Mateo area: Own for $150,000 down and let the property pay its own mortgage.
Main House (244 m² / 2,626 ft²): A spacious 2-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom design featuring a flowing integrated kitchen/living area and an expansive rooftop deck for stargazing. Customization Opportunity: The main house is currently 90% completed, serving as the perfect blank canvas for you to select final interior finishes tailored entirely to your personal taste.
Guesthouse / Casita (63 m² / 678 ft²): A turnkey, fully finished 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest house. Ready for immediate move-in or as a premium rental generating $1,800/month today.
Expansion Potential: Includes a 2-car covered garage structurally designed and ready for conversion into a third studio or home office.
This property is a high-yield asset designed to dramatically offset your living costs in the Alegria or Ecovilla communities.
Phase 1 (The Bridge): Move into the finished casita today. Avoid the high cost of local rentals while you add your final touches to the main villa. By renting out the main house upon completion for $2,500/month, your net mortgage cost is drastically reduced.
Phase 2 (The Income): Once the main house is complete, rent both units for a combined estimated $4,300/month.
The Result: With a $150,000 investment (covering down payment and closing costs), the $4,300 income fully covers the estimated $3,564 mortgage (at approx. 11%), leaving you with a monthly surplus and growing equity.
