Unique Side-by-Side Oceanview Lots in Las Catalinas, Costa Rica

THE LOCATION

Las Catalinas incorporates the principles of New Urbanism where human connection and environmentalism are priority in design. This concept is accomplished with public plazas, automobile-free streets, shopping boulevards, restaurants, work/study spaces, and marketplaces. Without cars filling the streets, Las Catalinas’ residents enjoy an old-time sense of community, a rarity in today’s world. Because Las Catalinas was designed at scale for biking and walking, homes and buildings make efficient use of space and topography. A walk through town may render thoughts of Antigua in the Carribean, Casco Viejo in Panama, or Vernazza on the Italian coastline. Of the 1,200 acres encompassing Las Catalinas, only 200 acres are planned for development. The remaining 1000 acres of forest is home to exotic birds, howler monkeys, iguanas, and the odd wild cat. Within the reserve, you’ll find thirty-five kilometers of hiking paths and varying degrees of mountain bike trails offering panoramic ocean views along the way. If you’re into water recreation, you’ll love the crystalline waters offshore for snorkeling, stand up paddleboarding, kayaking, bodysurfing, and more. Las Catalinas is an outdoor athlete’s sanctuary with multiple yearly events that gets the whole town involved.
