Mel Gibson buys Cattle Ranch near Samara, Costa Rica
Hollywood film actor and director, Mel Gibson, recently bought a cattle ranch in Nicoya Costa Rica, near Samara. He reportedly paid $25.8 million for this 163 hectare property, located in an area of outstanding natural forest and beautiful beaches. Mr. Gibson is considered to be a shrewd player in the real life "Monopoly Game" of real estate property investment.
He sold his mansion in Connecticut for a reported $40 million, and recently sold his beachfront Malibu home with 155 feet of beachfront for $30 million in a falling US property market, after purchasing it in the fall of 2005 for $24 million. He was reported as saying that he sold his real estate Malibu home because he was tired of the commotion caused by his neighbor Britney Spears.
Mel, age 51, and his wife Robyn are moving to a new house set in foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains in California. This location is reportedly closer to the $3.7 million Catholic Church that he helped to build. Mel has strong family values, and in spite of his reputation as a drinker and party, he prefers to live a more simple life than his negative press image implies.
Gibson family has been regular visitors to Costa Rica for several years. Mel mentioned recently that he might consider leaving United States and making a permanent home in Costa Rica. Mel was born in New York, and raised in Australia, where he has owned farm and grazing land. He has been unpopular in Hollywood since his brilliant and moving film, The Passion of the Christ, which did not fit well with the majority of Hollywood film industry. He has received negative press reports of his drinking, and his hounding by Hollywood media may well be a contribution to his desire to relocate.
On July 9th Costa Rica President Oscar Arias invited Mr. Gibson to a courtesy visit in the presidential mansion, located in the luxurious residential district of Rohrmoser. They discussed the exciting possibility of Costa Rica as a location for scenes in future film productions, and Mel said to the President that he had a warm feeling of being "almost Tico" since he had purchased a real estate property here.
The general feeling of the meeting was positive, and it was felt that Mr. Gibson would be an asset in helping to promote Costa Rica by his significant investment in real estate, and his interest in sectors such as public health and education.
Mel's ranch is in a little developed agricultural zoned area, where most of his neighbors are cattle ranchers. His presence as a property owner will undoubtedly draw attention to Costa Rica.
