Features:
Price: From $179,900 to $1,575,000, Location: The Caribbean

Description:
The Caribbean is one of the most sought after destinations in the world. Now, for the first time in Costa Rica, there is a luxury resort, residential community and marina currently in development on the Atlantic side. The Caribbean side. This ideal location is outside the hurricane zone and is perfect for those who love to travel by boat or yacht. An international airport is located within fifteen minutes, along with a major sea port that is home to several cruise lines.

The project
IslaMoin is being developed on approximately 208 acres surrounded by 8,200 feet of beachfront and 8,200 feet of deep water canal frontage. This gated community will be developed with 560 low-rise resort residences and approximately 100 beachfront villas, all with expansive terraces to enjoy the outdoor climate and beauty. IslaMoin will also contain a private area for approximately 100 home sites. To assure privacy and exclusivity, IslaMoin will maintain gated access enforced by 24-hour security for all residents. There is a 15-acre parcel of land that has been reserved to develop a luxury hotel on the property.
There will be a 380 slip full-service marina that can accommodate yachts and mega yachts from 50 to 250 feet. IslaMoin is designed to embrace the natural beauty of the land and take advantage of its pristine location, lush natural tropical landscaping and spectacular waterfront areas. IslaMoin will enhance the natural beauty of Costa Rica.

The resort residences
The Resort Residences are limited to four floors to insure that each and every resident can enjoy the beauty and tranquility of IslaMoin. They range in size from one bedroom units that are approximately 913 square feet with 129 square feet of terraces to four bedroom units that are approximately 2,918 square feet with 879 feet of terraces.

The beach villas
These lovely and quaint two-story townhomes are 2,758 square feet and have 215 square feet of terraces. Each terrace is complemented with summer kitchens that will enhance the outdoor living area. All units are located on the beach and all units have three spacious bedrooms.

The home sites
Approximately 100 Home Sites are available with canal frontage and there are 6 dry lot Home Sites available. Each of the lots have 120 feet on the water and are designed to provide each homeowner with a boat slip that will accommodate vessels with up to a 12 foot draft. Larger vessels will be accommodated at IslaMoin’s Marina.

The Marina
This full-service “state-of-the-art” marina will consist of approximately 380 slips that can accommodate yachts and mega yachts from 50 to 250 feet. The slips will be located in the main Marina Village and on the canals throughout the rest of the property. Dry storage units, for boats up to 30 feet in length, will be available at a later date.

Yachtsmen will be relieved to know, that since recorded history, there has never been a hurricane of any magnitude on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. The Isla Moín Martina is located at latitude 10° North, well under the insurance limit of 10°50´North. This will ensure safe harbor during the hurricane season for yachts of all sizes, during their stay on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, instead of the costly alternative of transporting the vessel to Europe, the west coast via de Panama Canal or any other port of safety, away from the path of hurricanes.

Getting there
There are two international airports in Costa Rica, the Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia and the San Jose International Airport or as it is known, the Juan Santamaria International Airport, just outside of Downtown San Jose. Some of the major international airlines that land there include American, United, KLM, Delta, Taca, British Airways, Continental, Mexicana, Iberia and American West.
Residents and prospective residents of IslaMoin, located outside of the City of Limon, can fly to the Limon Domestic Airport on regular daily flights offered by Nature Air and Sansa Airlines. The flight only takes approximately thirty minutes, and there are plenty of taxis outside the airport to take visitors and residents to the destinations of their choice.
From San Jose International Airport you can rent a car and drive to IslaMoin which is a two and one-half hour drive from San Jose and just minutes from the City of Limon. The City of Limon has a seaport that is home to numerous cruise lines.

About the Caribbean Coast
This unique location provides water views from all angles, from the dramatic ocean views, deep water canals and a natural river that flows through IslaMoin. It is a community designed with quaint streets and walking paths between the low-rise resort residences, beachfront villas, and home sites. One of the unique features of this property is the natural beauty of the preexisting landscape that has matured over the years and provides large palms, beautiful wild orchids, and hundreds of species of other flowers and fauna. IslaMoin is also a unique location as it is surrounded by national parks and rain forests. A luxury hotel is planned on the property so that residents and part-time residents will enjoy all the amenities of a resort community. A “resident’s only” club house is planned and will provide owners with a recreation and fitness center, a social center, a facility to accommodate special events, and a movie theatre. Concierge and room services will be available anywhere on the property.

The City of Limon, with its native and colorful history of the Old Costa Rica, was discovered by Christopher Columbus in the year 1502. Many of the old traditions, architecture and culture have remained much the same. In recent years tourists have been drawn to the area because of the national parks and natural beauty one can only experience in this part of Costa Rica. Now, IslaMoin will help you discover what will be one of the most unique real estate and lifestyle opportunities.

Explore the area: Things to do around

Tortuguero Canals
Board your covered boat for a 90 minutes leisurely cruise through the jungle canals. Your guide explains the rain forest eco-system and points out sights of interest. Keep an eye out for wildlife including howler monkeys, many sloths, toucans, aquatic birds, bats and crocodiles as well as exotic flora.

Nature Walks
Take a Nature Walk into the rain forest where you will learn many facts about our ecology. The Jungle Trail offers a secondary forest offering beautiful landscapes, various flora and fauna, and including many opportunities to see the remarkably fascinating different frog species of Costa Rica, for example the red dart frog. You will also see the magnificent creatures of the rain forest such as Toucans, Hummingbirds and the majestic Butterflies. You will witness the beautiful flora, such as orchids and bromeliads as well as other ground level plants with various sized leaves appearing in their plenty.

Banana Industry
You can also visit a Banana Plantation and Packing House where many interesting facts about this amazing fruit will be explained. Costa Rica is the second largest banana producer in the world and 80% of the plantations are located in Limon Province, making this industry one of the most important economical activities in the region.

Historic Sites
One of the most famous buildings in Limon is the Black Star. Built in 1922, this historical building is located at the corner of Calle 5 and Avenida 5. The two-story building features a large salon called "Liberty Hall" as well as a restaurant specializing in Caribbean food, and was declared an architectural gem. The main street was transformed into a Boulevard. This beautiful pedestrian walkway takes up four blocks of Avenida 2 in the City of Limon. It starts in the west and ends in the east in front of the seawall. Built in 1941, the central market is on the boulevard; opposite it on the corner sits a beautiful building: Banco Nacional de Costa Rica. Another lovely edifice, the Pensión Costa Rica, is located a block and a half to the east. Parque Vargas is on the last block. Opposite its north side is the Limon municipal building; on the other side is an old structure that once belonged to the Banana Company and today houses offices and shops. The boulevard ends at the seawall, where there is an amphitheatre from which Quiribrí Island may be seen. The seawall is well frequented by Limon's residents and by tourists and has numerous souvenir shops.

Carnivals
October is the month to celebrate Limon’s Carnival, where everyone takes to the streets for music, dancing and bands, all to the Caribbean beat.

Canopy tours
Harness up and swing through the trees and enjoy incredible views on a series of zip lines suspended between the tall trees of the tropical forest.

Fishing
IslaMoin is a fisherman's paradise; you are surrounded by different varieties of fish such as Sailfish, Tuna, Marlin and much more. Due to the relative virgin area, the fish come in all sizes, including world record breaking measurements. Additionally, an International Tarpon and Snook Championship is hosted every year at Barra del Colorado, 60 miles north of IslaMoin, offering some of the best Snook and Tarpon fishing in the world. The tarpon average about 80 pounds and Snook are in large sizes as well. Plus you’ll find Fat Snook, Billfish, Wahoo, Dorado, Tripletail, Kingfish, Mackerel, Barracuda and Jack Crevalle.

Diving
A World Class diving site for divers and scuba divers alike, Cahuita National Park, is 1 hour south by boat, or a 1.5 hour drive, boasting incredible views of exotic coral formation. There are also many other dive sites on the Caribbean coastline, showcasing an underwater life diverse in color, species and natural coral formations, including the reef at Gandoca-Manzanillo Park. Marine life unique to this region abounds. Divers will see massive schools of fish, rays, jacks, giant mantas, sea turtles, white tip sharks, dolphins, and even a wrecked slave trade ship from the eighteenth century.

Rafting
The country’s longest and most spectacular river trip can be run from mid-May to mid-March. Pacuare is Costa Rica’s white-water jewel. It’s a fixture on lists of the world’s top ten rafting and kayaking rivers, a heady combination of beauty and excitement which makes running Pacuare an experience that will never be forgotten. The Pacuare is not called “the quintessential tropical river” for nothing. Its narrow course winds through a series of densely forested gorges, punctuated by about 20 waterfalls. The 150 foot cascade called Huacas Falls is one of the natural wonders of Costa Rica. Then there is Reventazon, which means “bursting waves.” Whether you are a neophyte or a daredevil, the Reventazon delivers. And, because the flow of the water is controlled by the Cahi Dam, it delivers during wet season or dry.

Rainforests
IslaMoin is surrounded by a tropical lowland rainforest, the type of rainforest that provides the best environment for the most diversity of life due to its consistent weather throughout the year. Lowland rainforests contain the tallest trees. The landscape of IslaMoin’s canal includes many species of vegetation, typical to the Matina Forest Reserve located on the coast, only 20 minutes north by boat, and more importantly typical of the famous Canales de Tortuguero National Park, 15 minutes further north.

Inland
In just less than an hour driving inland from IslaMoin you will encounter the Braulio Carrillo and Amistad Caribe National Parks with montane rainforests, so called “cloud forests,” where you will enjoy an Aerial Tram that will take you to approximately 650 ft above sea level and higher. It is home to at least 500 species of vertebrates, 3000 species of plants and many tens of thousands of species of insects, mites, fungi, bacteria, nematodes, spiders and protozoans. The views are spectacular with Jurassic Park vegetation and dinosaur mysteriousness.

On the coast
Home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna, this area has been set aside for attractive national parks, wildlife refuges and forest reserves, such as Tortuguero and Barra del Colorado on the northern coast, Matina on the central coast and Cahuita and Gandoca Manzanillo on the southern coast.

Matina Forest Reserve
Located 20 minutes north of IslaMoin by boat. It is an area on the coast between the mouths of the Pacuare and Matina rivers that protect a rare Primary Forest where sea turtles come to nest on the beach.

Cahuita Nationa Park
The park is located 1 hour south of IslaMoin. The main attraction is its white beaches, calm clear sea and coral reefs. Cahuita is also a laying site for rare species of sea turtles; the park offers excellent dive sites, including the remains of a slave trade ship, shipwrecked during the second half of the eighteenth century.

Gandoca-Manzanillo National Park
Located 1.5 hours by car or 2 hours by boat, the park is a wildlife refuge on the coast consisting of several emerged coral reefs, excellent for divers to explore, and white sand beaches. The coral reefs extend outwards over 650 feet and the white sand beaches have few waves due to the shallowness of the coast. Varied bird life and other species under the threat of extinction are protected here. The landscape is mostly grassland and forest.

Canales de Tortuguero National Park
Located 35 minutes north by boat alongside the Caribbean Sea, you’ll find a natural network of beautiful channels and navigable lagoons that cross the park from southeast to northwest. It is one of the most important laying sites for the green turtles and home to another seven species of turtles that coexist with the threatened West Indian manatee. Excursions take visitors deep into the channels where eco lodges can provide comfortable accommodations for the ones who want to stay overnight.

Barra Colorado National Refuge
Located 2.5 hours north by boat or 30 minutes by air, next to Tortuguero, the area hosts river fishing, river explorations and eco lodges, all devoted to explore nature. Annual World Snook and Tarpon Fishing Championships are held nearby, where world records have been broken.
