Quick SJE Updates


Below is a picture of the almost finished bridge that spans the Rio Montana, the first river crossing from Nosara to San Juanillo, from the South.  If you have never traveled the roads of Costa Rica, let alone our section of Guanacaste, this is a HUGE improvement for the area.  That river becomes impassable during much of the rainy season.  Not for much longer!!!!  


The picture below is of the water meter at lot 19.  Soon a meter for Lot 33 will be installed....sometime next week.  As you all know, water is a major issue in Costa Rica and the proper use of water is important.  All new construction within SJE will have meters and basic water usage fee's will be in place so that we can maintain the ASADA. 



The fact that WE are finalizing our ASADA is BIGGER than HUGE.  It is not only the proper way in-so-far-as water conservation and Costa Rica law but it establishes San Juanillo Estates as a legitimate investment for those seeking to buy land in Costa Rica.  It sets us apart from some of our competition who do not have ASADAs.   

Armando is currently clearing lots and the road guts, as well as putting up some new lot signs since a lot of them have fallen down over the years.

All efforts combined, we continue to meet and court with interested parties in buying parcels within The Estates.  Some have kept in contact over the span of a year and still show interest and some have recently contacted us.  It could be that real estate in CR is picking up a bit.  Let's hope so! 

We are very close to having the HOA fully funded for 2012.  Less than half of the SJE HOA members still need to remit for 2012 - myself included on 1/2 of the dues because my money tree died last year :-) - but I will pay.

Please remit your 2012 Dues of $755.00 today, if you haven't already.  You can contact me at kurt.becker@cjbinc.com if you have any questions or concerns.  Not only does the Project depend on your involvement (water meters, lot clearing, road maintaining) but so does the local area (new bridges through taxes).  Thank you and I hope you are all well.
