Hurricane Free Caribbean Marina Properties in Costa Rica

Check out any of the yachting forums and you’ll often find a common thread about finding safe, secure and luxury mooring in the Caribbean away from the threat of a hurricane.  Well, if you want hurricane free Caribbean marina properties (and berths) try Costa Rica and a brand new, uber luxurious resort development called IslaMoin.

According to the developer of the marina, residences, hotel and resort at IslaMoin, because the development is taking place on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica rather than on the Pacific Coast, residents’ yachts will be assured safe harbour away from the threat of damaging storms and extreme hurricanes.  But what’s of far more interest to us property lovers is the fact that IslaMoin is offering up some rather tasty real estate options to boot.

So, you can moor your boat at the IslaMoin harbour and have access to such luxuries as dry storage units, full staff available to service and maintain your baby and also excellent security to prevent pirates…and you can reside in a home with beach access in the vicinity of national parks, rivers, tropical forestry and the stunning and diverse flora and fauna that Costa Rica is quickly becoming so famous for.

Sounds like a pretty good all round solution to us!

The properties for sale at IslaMoin vary from luxury apartments in low rise blocks to individual custom built homes on spacious water fronted parcels of land - and apparently interest has been sustained and intense so if you want to reserve your very own hurricane free Caribbean marina property in Costa Rica you have to move fast.

Within the IslaMoin marina resort there will also be a five star hotel – the facilities of which will be accessible to the residents of the IslaMoin villas and apartments.  There will be a spa, gym, restaurants, bars, swimming pools and plenty of outdoor activities and amenities.  What’s more, the residents of IslaMoin will also have 24/7 concierge and room service available to them meaning that if you decide to buy into this excellent property development in Costa Rica you can live in your own Caribbean home, have your yacht to hand and have all the benefits of being in a five star hotel…pretty nifty I think you’ll agree.

River Front Golf Resort Homes in Ireland

A brand new concept in lifestyle homes has been created north of Dublin in Ballyconnell; Russell Cove is the name of the new Irish property development and it is situated right on the beautiful Shannon-Erne waterway and offers British and Irish residents the chance to buy river front golf resort homes in Ireland for the first time ever.

Russell Cove is situated around Connell Quay and each apartment, penthouse and villa property comes complete with its own marina berth and a speedboat to boot!  Not only that, but residents and designated partners have full golf club membership at Slieve Russell golf course as well – famous both for the European Open and Irish PGA.  Oh and in case all that is insufficient incentive to look closer at these river front golf resort homes in Ireland, what about the fact that they also come with membership of the Slieve Russell leisure and country club too?

Although the homes for sale at Russell Cove have yet to be completed, over 40% have been sold off plan already with a number of famous faces among those who have bagged their resort home in Ireland.  Prices start from GBP 189,000 for an apartment and go onwards and upwards to in excess of half a million pounds for the most sumptuous detached residences.

Each home is completed to a turn-key level of finish – i.e., you can just pack a suitcase and move in to your beautiful home which has been architecturally designed by one of the most famous and well established firms in Ireland and the interior design, furniture and finishings have been created especially for your contemporary home by renowned designer Bronwyn Laburn.

Throughout the properties the highest level of attention to detail is being paid to technology and entertainment – for example each home is Sky HD ready, has multiple LCD screens and benefits from broadband, wireless internet access…and when you’re not at home there are a wealth of alternative entertainment and leisure options for you with the greater Russell Cove development.  As stated you can enjoy 18 holes of golf at the Slieve Russell, you could work out or be pampered at the country club or you can call ahead and have the onsite staff make your boat ready for a days cruising the Shannon.

Many of these homes are being bought to live in full time because they are just sooooo amazing – but at the same time, why not take one as an easily accessible holiday residence?  The developers at Russell Cove even thought of that idea too!  Not only have they agreed a travel package with Aer Lingus that comes as part of the property package at Russell Cove so that you can have up to EUR 5000 worth of free travel to and from your river front golf resort home in Ireland, but there are tax incentives for some overseas buyers purchasing a residence at Russell Cove.
