The River House is featured on Paradise Profits
We were inspired to start this whole project after reading Jeff Hickcox’s new book Real Estate Investing Guide– Costa Rica: Fundamentals for Profits in Paradise. This book is incredibly informational, and –even for novice investors like us– fun to read. Jeff writes with a very friendly and helpful tone. We’ve since met him in person, and he really is the real deal.
The website Paradise Profits was created as an online shop for this book. It also has informational articles about investing in Costa Rica real estate, a directory of local professionals, and recommended properties for sale. It’s a nice site, and a must read for anyone considering investing here.

So imagine how thrilled we were when Paradise Profits decided to feature The River House on the site! Yes, this means the house is pretty much done and on the market. It’s been a labor of love for us, and we’re excited the news is out. Check out the listing, and other Costa Rica real estate listings here.
Hi Ruth, we actually aren’t leaving the neighborhood at all! We live on the hill right above The Riverhouse, and when the owner of that house wanted to sell we jumped on it. The house had so much potential to be wonderful with just a few small changes, so we decided to buy it and fix it up. We decided to sell it because there are so few houses in Atenas at this price range.
