Janet Chantry

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH What attracted you to Blue Zone Realty International and made you choose to work with them?

When I first arrived to Costa Rica years ago I started to work for a different company. I learned within only one week that their core values did not echo mine. I decided to leave. Soon after I spoke with my broker, Tim Fenton, I joined Blue Zone Realty International and began this fabulous career helping my clients and helping others within our community. I have now become an Associate Broker helping to mentor other agents within our company.

Can you share a personal experience or aspect of Costa Rican culture that you absolutely love and that makes you grateful to call this country home?

I absolutely love the spirit of community and family here in Costa Rica. Our family has become extremely close with another Costa Rican family that helped assist in the last year of my fathers life. This wonderful family adopted him since he needed 24/7 care. Truly blessed to call this country home and for families like Melissa Guzmán’s, his nurse. Coming from Canada this level of care is just so rare but not here.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH How does the Blue Zone Realty reputation and commitment to excellence contribute to your motivation and sense of fulfillment as an agent?

WWorking for a respected agency with integrity was important. An agency that grows and adapts to change. Blue Zone Realty has that. Take for example the most recent boom our area has experienced. We can have a great influence on newcomers to the area and share our love for the environment. This led to the newest project of Blue Zone Realty International, the inception of the coming Green Leaf Foundation. A branch of our business with a commitment to preservation of, and reforestation of lands. Our area has been “discovered” so we will always have development. Recognizing that we can have an impact, and give balance by attracting philanthropists to protect a percentage of what we love in this country is just one reason this has been such a rewarding career.

OCEAN VIEW HOME MASSIVE STUDIO RANCHO IN ESCALERAS

Can you share any specific instances where you’ve witnessed or experienced the “Pura Vida” lifestyle in action?

Pura Vida isn’t only a trait found in the coastal rural communities of Costa Rica, it’s an enjoyed lifestyle throughout the country. My husband and I have been living the rural jungle life for ten years now, and discovered that every now and then a quick trip to Costa Rica’s capital, San Jose is a fun adventure to see a show, shop, and dress up in “city clothes” for a dinner with friends at the latest new restaurant. I remember my first time visiting a steakhouse in the city and getting the same friendly welcoming I receive in our small town. The waiter placing the entree in front of me with a standard, “Buen Prevecho,” noticed my expression of joy and added “Pura Vida,” like he knew, even out of the jungle, I’d found happiness, Ha ha!

Can you share a personal experience or aspect of Costa Rican culture that you absolutely love and that makes you grateful to call this country home?

I’ve resided in Costa Rica for the past 17 years. Our two young sons were both born at our home in Uvita, Costa Rica. Witnessing their development in our diverse neighborhood fills me with pride (not to mention growing up bilingual and carrying dual passports!). Another deeply fulfilling aspect of life in Costa Rica is the juxtaposition of luxurious dwellings surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty.

The feeling of the splash of water in your face, the sounds of the animals around, the freshness of the water when you get to a calm area and jump off the boat to cool off and enjoy the pure water of the Costa Rican rivers.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH Can you share a personal anecdote or experience that reflects the core values and character of Blue Zone Realty International? How did this experience influence your decision to join the brokerage?

Blue Zone is a team/family environment. We lift each other up and lend a hand when needed. Our goal is to protect our client’s best interest while navigating the buying/selling process.

Can you share any specific instances where you’ve witnessed or experienced the “Pura Vida” lifestyle in action?

Life here is calm and peaceful. Our free time is spent in a natural environment. One example is when I visited the San Luis Waterfall and stopped at a local family’s coffee shop. They process coffee from their farm and shared homemade bread and fresh coffee with us. They showed us the coffee making process and treated us like family as most Costa Ricans will do. It was a wonderful experience and I will continue to visit the family and support their business in the future.

Can you share some of the activities or places you love to explore during your downtime in this beautiful country?

I love to start each day walking my dogs through the winding mountain roads enjoying the nature and peace around me. Also, hiking at the nearby rivers and visiting the many waterfalls and spending time at the beach with friends where you can enjoy the warm blue ocean with the rainforest covered mountains as a backdrop. I have been living here since 2011 and the natural beauty of this country still leaves me in awe on a daily basis.

UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH Can you share a personal anecdote or experience that reflects the core values and character of Blue Zone Realty International?

Melissa Klassen

Who I align myself with, in all aspects of life is of the utmost importance to me. I took a lot of time to choose who I would work with in this area as I knew this career decision of the company would make a big difference. Who we spend our time with shapes us and influences us and I desired a caring and joyful environment that fosters continual learning, promotes teamwork and puts honesty and integrity above all. I looked at possibilities elsewhere, however, it wasn’t until I met the broker of Blue Zone realty, Tim Fenton that I realized we shared common values and vision. I felt peace and wholeheartedly accepted when I was asked to join the Blue Zone Family. Since joining back in 2017, I have never looked back on this decision.

Can you share any specific instances where you’ve witnessed or experienced the “Pura Vida” lifestyle in action? We embraced this during our first visit in 2006 and were amazed each day at at what we experienced with the locals. I tell people we were “bitten by the Costa Rica bug” and every day we discovered more and more what the philosophy and spirit of the local people was and then, we started noticing that expats we were meeting also had a more relaxed, live in the moment and be grateful kind of disposition. We bought our first condo in Manuel Antonio that same year, and the relationships that seemed so easy and natural to build would grow. At our condo the elderly gentleman that was the pool employee and gardener would come over to the condo with his own rendition of “rice and beans” and invited us to the local rodeo when it came to town. Everywhere we went we met wonderful people. That same spirit is here 20 years later and it reminds me how blessed we were to decide to move here and make our dream a reality.

ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE WITH WABI-SABI AESTHETICS (JAPANESE)

Casa Bromelia is immersed in the canopy of the surrounding trees, the house is almost floating ethereally above the jungle. Structurally this was achieved by using an engineered heavy steel beam platform as a base, much like a bridge, however discrete, supported on both ends but free and clear in between.

This 4 bedroom home is level with the forest so you are not looking down on nature but harmoniously within and through it. You enter the house via a slightly inclined ramp from street level. The main door is made of tilt cortex steel and opens directly into the living space and within a few steps from the sunken living room. Each bedroom and its immense windows gives you the feeling that you can reach out and touch nature. The dominant materials in the home are hard woods of cenizaro, with its golden to dark brown colours used for kitchen cabinets and bedroom closets. The wood is complemented with soft white wall colours, lightly patterned and taupe stone flooring, creating a warm cozy feeling. The house gracefully transitions from the closed inside structure to the open outside pool area with a featured pergola that starts in the middle of the kitchen and extends partially over the Spanish glass tiled pool. The pool has an infinity edge and is positioned so sunlight always reaches through the canopy, yet the pergola provides shaded areas. Perched at an elevation of 400 meters above sea level, enjoy the soft breezes day and night.

It’s about watching the sunrise with awe, dancing in the rain, and savoring the warmth of human connections.

How do your hobbies and freetime activities contribute to your overall work-life balance and personal fulfillment?

The Southern zone of Costa Rica offers an abundance of flora and fauna that some can only dream of living amongst.

When friends and family come to visit, I love taking them to beaches, hiking to waterfalls, trapezing in the valley, surfing, sport fishing and ziplining through the canopy.

How has embracing the “Pura Vida” mindset impacted your personal well-being and happiness as a citizen of Costa Rica?

Pura Vida, more than a mindset, a way of life. In my opinion, as a Costa Rican, a “Pura Vida” person is one who wakes up with a smile every morning, grateful for life, health, and work. Being Pura Vida is living in peace with your surroundings, with your fellow humans, caring about today and not tomorrow, living in the moment, and remembering that we have a whole lifetime to continue living. My experience with Pura Vida is something I live every day, share, and celebrate.
