Tierra Pacifica is a unique green community nestled in the foothills and overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. While discussing our overall goals for this very special 220-acre parcel, the first question we asked was “How can we develop this beautiful piece of land while adding value to the local community, maintaining the natural integrity of the land, and also maximizing the quality of life for the new owners?” Our second question was, “How do we establish and maintain a green community where the ideals we live by are shared with those we will live with?” This required slowing down for just a moment and reflecting on how we can truly live in harmony with our environment. We believe Tierra Pacifica, a Costa Rica environmental development that balances a high standard of living with innovative environment-enhancing design, is the answer to these questions.
