The ARK offers full support services during construction (architecture, permits, cost control and onsite representation through the building process), as well as a complete property management service post construction. The community also offers 24 hour security, for complete peace of mind.
The Jungle Lots - The jungle lots are mostly made up or rolling hills with jungle views. The terrain is not flat but very usable in most lots and they all start at 5,000 m2 (1.2 Acres) and up. Pricing for these lots starts at $375,000. Because The Ark used to be a cattle farm, many of the lots are clear but still have some big trees and jungle surrounding. There is a real feeling of spaciousness here between the lots and within the community. Up in the hills you can expect a beautiful breeze and sunset skies nightly. Each lot allows for a family home plus guest house with plenty or garden space. All lots within The Ark will have access to the San Isidro ASADA (the equivalent of having a municipal water connection). In line with the ethos of the community, electricity must be provided with the installation of a solar system. Solar systems for these properties can range between $30,000 and $60,000, depending on the size of the homes.
It is definitely worth the visit to view these beautiful lots, which offer a real feeling of peace and tranquility, and yet are just a short drive down to the beach and restaurants of Santa Teresa town.
If you are looking to become a resident of a contemporary village rooted in regeneration, healthier living and inclusivity, this community might be for you. The Ark has a higher, long term purpose to serve as a blueprint for other global communities. All residents and buyers become shareholders in the project and will share profits, shaping a shared future within the community. Currently there are 34 residents from over 16 countries living in The Ark and this is just the beginning! Lot pricing will increase over time as the infrastructure and programs continue to grow.
The Ark also offers payment plans for lots and Fractional Ownership options that are very interesting.
At 2 Costa Rica Real Estate we are honored to represent this beautiful community and collaborative project.
