Background

Keith Bell came to Costa Rica to build his dream retirement home. He bought a lot in Roca Verde, a very nice community located in Atenas, Costa Rica and hired Pedro Sebaja to build a home that Keith had designed. It was going to be a gracious and comfortable home. A few months into construction, Pedro went "bust" and left Keith hanging with a partially finished home and took Keith for mucho dinero. - However, Keith did not give up on his dream home and made several trips from Alaska to Costa Rica to find a way to make his dream come true.

On his last trip here, he found a builder, architect and overseer to demolish the old structure and build a guest house, rancho and pool. This would give him the opportunity to visit and enjoy his property until he retired. After retirement, he would decide on a plan and build his retirement dream home.

This blog will provide a picture and history of the construction of the guest house, pool and rancho. Please follow it to completion and help Keith celebrate a dream come true.
