Location: Puerto Viejo, Limón, Costa Rica
Located a mere 10km from Puerto Viejo and 5km from the pristine Punta Uva beach, a unique eco-village is emerging, nestled between the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea and the verdant Talamanca mountains.
This visionary project spans 125 hectares (306 acres) of land, thoughtfully divided into 65 titled properties. At its heart lies a commitment to creating Costa Rica's premier off-grid ecological residence, founded on principles of sustainability and a profound respect for the natural world. The development recognizes that modern living and environmental consciousness can coexist harmoniously.
The properties within this eco-village offer a range of options, catering to diverse preferences and lifestyles. Twenty-two of these properties are specifically designed to be entirely off-grid, empowering homeowners to embrace self-sufficiency through the adoption of solar energy. For those seeking a balance between independence and convenience, 36 additional properties provide the option to connect to the national electrical grid. This flexibility ensures that residents can tailor their living experience to their individual needs and comfort levels.
Water, an essential element of life, is addressed with both natural resourcefulness and respect for the environment. While some lots already feature a built water well, the majority of properties offer the opportunity for owners to either establish their own well (without the need for permits) or to embrace the sustainable practice of rainwater collection. This approach not only ensures a reliable water supply but also minimizes reliance on external resources.
Beyond the individual properties, the eco-village is designed to foster a strong sense of community and a deep connection with nature. Of the 125 hectares, 23 hectares is currently a protected forest - preserving the region's rich biodiversity and providing residents with a sanctuary for quiet contemplation and appreciation of the natural world. Additionally, 14.5 hectares are designated as pasture, offering a visual reminder of the region's agricultural heritage. For shared enjoyment, the community will feature common recreational areas, including two lakes and their surrounding spaces, providing opportunities for leisure and social interaction. Future plans include a Clubhouse, available on a membership basis, which will feature amenities such as a restaurant, tennis courts, and communal gardens.
The eco-village offers a range of lot sizes, from 5000m2 to 19,000m2, with prices varying from $8/m2 to $29/m2. Approximately 12 lots are currently ready for sale, with additional properties being developed for future release.
High-speed connectivity is ensured through optic fiber internet access for all homeowners.
Furthermore, residents of lots adjacent to the pasture area have the unique opportunity to keep domestic animals, such as cows and horses, and allow them to roam freely on the pasture during the day, further enhancing the connection with the land.
Prospective homeowners will be invited to embrace a set of basic rules, fostering a community-wide commitment to sustainability, environmental responsibility, and harmonious living. This ensures that this pioneering community remains a haven for those who share a vision of a more sustainable and fulfilling way of life.
Prices start at $82,289 for a 4156m2 property.
