Isabelle Jones was the first GoDutch Realty agent in what was in those days a tiny little town on the road from San José to the beaches of the Central Pacific. Isa and her husband Howard retired here with their son Taylor. But she got bored soon and represented our company when there was only one other real estate agency in Atenas. Isabelle was replaced by Marian Veltman when she retired in 2015. Since then, Marian, who had already been there for several years has been representing our colors in this small coffee town. In 2021, Myriam and Didier joined Marian.

Views, views, and more views

One of the greatest benefits of living in Atenas is that you can enjoy a glass of wine while sitting at your swimming pool or on the patio and watch the fabulous views of the surrounding mountains or the valley in the company of family or friends.

Ranch style homes

Another great benefit is the ranch-style homes. About 70% of the homes are designed single-story for easy use and cleaning. Most people who retire to this great town are retirees, so they prefer living in a single-story home.

Many also have a guest house, so you can keep your privacy, from visiting guests and family.
