The new and exciting development “Island Sanctuary” comes from the same developers of Las Brisas Cielo, Ventanas San Mateo, and Peublo Escondido. The owners, who have been in Costa Rica the past eight years are ecstatic about their new development, saying, “We believe that our products represent the best that Costa Rica has to offer and the best values. We believe that the island Sanctuary is the best offering we have ever assembled thus far.”
It is located on an island in the bay of Nicoya… a 15 to 20 minute boat ride from the mainland. Isla Chira is almost like stepping back in time, and is virtually unknown, even among locals.
The island “feel” is like how Costa Rica must have felt nearly a century ago. It is pristine, the surroundings are gorgeous and untouched, views are to die for, there are no traffic jams, no pollution, no crime, no casinos, no discos, and no tourist resorts. In short, the island is a tropical paradise.

It is large enough so that most will never be bored. It has a 30 mile circumference with ten totally separate beaches and large stretches of land that have never been explored. And, the inhabitants of the island make their living the same way that their fathers and grandfathers did, almost exclusively fishing or farming.
The location of the sanctuary is on the top of a mountain with 360 degree views of surrounding mountains, the island and all of its bays, inlets, and small village, and of course the surrounding ocean with its other smaller islands. The views are unequaled anywhere in Costa Rica. Island living might not be for everyone, but it is for those seeking an escape and a haven from a world that has grown increasingly more frenzied, Chira is that refuge. It is the space where nourishment and regeneration takes place. Chira is peace, solitude and offers Costa Rica at its best and most unspoiled.

The first phase of the “island sanctuary” project consists of 12 properties, with the phase itself being 5 acres total land. It is located on the top of the island’s second tallest mountain and contains vistas that not only stretch for 360 degrees but contain a panorama of mountains, islands, bays and inlets, rivers and the surrounding ocean, that can literally not be duplicated anywhere else in the country.
Each property contains 500 sq. meters (a meter being equal to approximately a yard plus 10%). Common area per occupant will comprise of more than twice that amount per person. The common area will ensure sufficient space between each property, and or bungalow.
Property prices are $28,500 and financing is available with 50% down. Purchasers must follow approved building plans although not required to use our builders. Approval must be given before building can commence.
There are three (at present) structures which can be chosen from. All utilities with the exception of telephone are included in the pricing and gas (propane) will be used for cooking, hot water and wherever else appropriate, all other is electric and water is public. The structures are hardwood and concrete (hardwoods will be primarily teak and pochote). Roofs are metal, all wiring is standard gauge, septic is standard and built to Costa Rican standards as well. There will be fans in each bungalow and screens on all windows and doors. The price of the home and lot will initially be $62,500 and $67,500 for the A frame model.
