We are very happy to announce that after an enormous amount of research and development on our extraordinary model homes and after completing foundation testing, construction has now started on the first Breeze model home in Black Beauty Village. Permits to start construction on the Mist model in Ruby Sky Village and Lush model in Emerald Woods Village have also been obtained and are planned to break ground on April 7. We plan to continue updating you on the progress of construction and development in all of our villages in upcoming newsletters.

Costa Rica's financing industry is constantly developing and maturing. We are seeing new loan programs coming online almost every month. Foreign lenders are entering the market and established lenders in Costa Rica are restructuring their programs. Tight lending guidelines are loosening and viable loans once only available in the US, are becoming a reality in Costa Rica. Almost all of the leading lenders in Costa Rica have also recently expanded their programs to provide financing to foreigners from all over the world. Up until recently, these programs were strictly limited to US and Canadian citizens. As recent as a year ago there were no fixed rate mortgages of any kind offered to foreigners. Currently we have established relationships with few lenders offering 5 yr fixed term ARM's at just 1 to 2 points over present US loans. Fixed rate mortgages are truly a major advancement in the options available for residential real estate financing in Costa Rica. Multiple US lenders have begun Costa Rica non-resident loan programs. This represents a major milestone in the history of non-resident financing in Costa Rica. It is expected that additional programs, as well as competing international lenders, will continue to enter the market as lending continues to mature through 2008. For those of you looking to move forward on a construction loan and/or looking to payoff the note coming due on your lot, we can refer you to a number of brokers and banks we recommend: KING MORTGAGE OF COSTA RICA US OFFICE MDO MORTGAGE SERVICES TITAN RESERVE, LLC |

The weather in Costa Rica is absolutely amazing! Our last few Fly & Buy Tours were big successes with many satisfied clients getting to choose an ocean view lot for their dream home. Our tropical adventures begin with a short flight from Costa Rica’s San Jose International Airport to the coastal surf town of Nosara,
the best kept secret on the Gold Coast of the Nicoya Peninsula.
The area of Nosara is beginning to enjoy tremendous growth with
the new Del Mar Academy international grade school and new
medical facilities being built in the heart of Nosara. There we
enjoy a Costa Rican lunch followed by a relaxing walk on the
sandy beach of Playa Guiones. The rest of the afternoon is spent
with some of the local realtors where we take a tour of homes
that are for sale in the area. Their knowledge of the local real estate market and helpful attitude make for an educational day enjoyed by everyone.
and relaxation, we gather
for a delicious dinner set deep in the Costa Rica jungle. Luna Azul is a charming boutique hotel located in Playa Ostional on Costa Rica’s northwest Pacific Coast and just minutes from Kalia's Black Beauty, Ruby Sky and Emerald Woods villages. Its close proximity to the world famous turtle beach of Ostional makes Luna Azul a great place for the observation of hundreds of thousands of marine sea turtles that come in at night from the ocean for nesting. If you are lucky, you may be able to experience this unbelievable natural phenomenon. 
After
being awakened and welcomed to this magical location by
howler monkeys off in the distance, the next morning begins
with a delicious tropical breakfast and the highly
anticipated visit to our resort village. Once at the
village, everyone gets to visit their lot for the first time. It is truly a joy for us to see the excitement and smiles on everyone’s faces as they may look at a magnificent ocean view while imagining one of our beautiful and extraordinary homes situated on their private lot. This day is filled with many
enjoyable surprises…
“We were very pleased with our decision - the views and the allure of the surrounding terrain were just as the Kalia staff described them. We could just imagine spending days basking in the sun and nights gazing at the stars in our new vacation home, and sharing special times there with family and friends.” 
“Our most enjoyable experience during our trip to Black Beauty, besides direct contact with Mother Nature, was meeting an incredible Kalia team with unconditional enthusiasm and inconceivable vision and passion. The well organized trip was very relaxing and rejuvenating. It was difficult to leave.”
