This is the most unique home in the best neighborhood in Golfito. Many years ago The Banana Company created a neighborhood which became known as the American zone, it was an exclusive neighborhood with a community pool, tennis courts an airstrip and even a 9-hole, par 3 golf course. Homes in the neighborhood were 2 story wooden structures consisting of 2 and 3 bedrooms. Today, the golf course is no longer available nor the Community pool. many homes have been remodeled; this home has been tastefully renovated and you could say ‘The Most Unique’ in the zone
Today the neighborhood is still the most desirable area in which to live. I can easily vouch for the lifestyle as I too have lived here for over 15 years. To me this neighborhood has much of the same feel as neighborhoods I grew up in, in the states. The large lots and 2 story wooden homes. Its relatively quiet and safer than other parts of Golfito. To me, it’s a perfect place to live in town.
