Naturalia and TamarindoBeing a real estate investor, I am always curious as to the investment potential that each property holds.  A property can sound amazing, have an abundance of amenities, be in a great location, but I won’t feel comfortable parting with any money until I have some actual numbers in front of me, allowing me to evaluate the income potential.  And of course, I wouldn’t expect my clients to want any less.

Naturalia living roomSo, I finally was able to assemble the information that I needed to perform my analysis on the fantastic Naturalia condo development near Tamarindo in the coastal Guanacate region - rental rates, management fees, property taxes, and unit prices.

Pristine beach near NaturaliaDo be aware that some numbers are averaged, like property taxes and HOA fees (condo fees).  I have included comments within the spreadsheet which you should be sure to read, as they often provide information as to how I came up with certain numbers.  But if you do have questions about these number, please feel free to contact me.

And one final note:  this spreadsheet does try to use accurate and reliable information, but it is subject to change at any time.  In some cases, assumptions have also been made (typically noted in the comments).  Please use this spreadsheet as just one of the tools you would use to help you make a decision as to whether you wish to buy a unit at Naturalia.

    Description
    The traditional facades of this impressive eleven-story building are inspired by Costa Rica’s rich plantation history, while the spacious interiors of its one and three-bedroom residential units and two-story penthouse suites incorporate beautiful, natural materials with ultra-luxurious, modern-day amenities.

    Lushly landscaped grounds, spectacular common area amenities, state-of-the-art security and professional building administration ensure that Naturalia’s residents experience an unparalleled level of exclusivity in condominium living on Costa Rica’s famed “Gold Coast”.

    In a bold departure from neighboring communities, the development team has elected to preserve a grove of magnificent old-growth trees, providing spectacular rainforest canopy views, and also providing important habitat to multiple species of water birds, iguanas and monkeys native to the region.

    Located amongst rainforest, the beach is just a short 5 minute walk along a beach path.  Close by is the popular town of Tamarindo, Las Baulas National Park, golf and equestrian centers, as well as Tamarindo regional airport.
