A group of experts in international real estate has teamed up to build the largest sustainable community development in Costa Rica’s history..

Current trends in population growth and the use and production of energy, food and materials have strained the word’s natural resources.

Sustainable communities which work to conserve resources and minimize waste are gathering steam. Sustainable food production is key to this project.

Pacific Paradise Properties will be a planned master community with low HOA fees and a business participation program designed to give a percentage of all profits back to the community and with common area amenities to generate income to offset operating expense. Nearly 75% of the entire development will be planted with fruits, vegetables or green space. A fish farm and chicken coops will be built as well. The community will include a volunteer center, a community center and a healthy living program. This model has already proven hugely successful in Osa Mountain Village.

The home sites will be individually deeded with full ownership to the buyer and registered in the national registry in Costa Rica. Foreigners have full right to property ownership in Costa Rica. The Quepos location is ideal and the property selected could not be better for the purpose, located just off the new Costanera highway about 2 hours drive from the San Jose International airport. There is a large public hospital, a domestic airport and brand new large marina located nearby as well as over 100 hotels and restaurants. This part of the country is one of the most beautiful with towering mountains, majestic palms, white sand beaches and home to the most visited national park in Costa Rica.

To kick off the project theyve announced a limited time offer through January 31, 2014. 30 people only will buy a highly discounted predevelopment 1/2 acre home site in Pacific Paradise Village and receive a 3 day free luxury vacation in Costa Rica including airfare of up to $ 600 per person.
