The Ark Jungle View Lot

The Ark is a distinct residential project in Costa Rica’s Santa Teresa area, offering far more than land for sale. Set across 80 hectares of rolling coastal hills just five minutes from the beach, The Ark is designed as a living village—a community rooted in regeneration, creativity, and shared values. Here, residents aren’t just buying a lot, but joining a collective vision for intentional living.

A key feature of The Ark is its deep connection to the land. Twenty-five hectares are preserved as forest reserve, while an additional six are dedicated to a thriving permaculture farm already producing a variety of crops. The remaining land is reserved for spacious, individually titled lots and community amenities. These aren’t just parcels—they’re part of a broader ecosystem, both ecological and social.

The Jungle Lots are set among gently undulating hills, where open clearings meet pockets of native forest. Because the land was once a cattle farm, many of the lots benefit from naturally open spaces while still maintaining a lush perimeter of mature trees and secondary growth. Each lot starts at 5,000 square meters (1.2 acres) and is positioned to take advantage of the natural topography, with long views into the surrounding jungle and an ever-present sense of privacy. Elevated positions welcome ocean breezes and pastel sunset skies almost daily.

Every Jungle Lot allows for the construction of a main home plus a guest house, with more than enough room left for gardens or outdoor living. Water is provided via the San Isidro ASADA, giving owners the rare convenience of a reliable public source. Power is fully solar, aligned with the community’s ethos—systems typically range between $30,000 and $60,000, depending on the home’s size.

The Ark is already alive with activity: the Arkadia school opens in 2026; there’s a yoga shala, children’s playground, community kitchen, fire pits, paddle and pickleball courts, and more infrastructure on the way. Future amenities include a wellness and art center, semi-Olympic swimming pool, co-working space, and full health services—all designed to support a healthy, connected lifestyle.

With 34 residents from over 16 countries already calling The Ark home, the village is quickly evolving. All lot owners become shareholders in the project, with a voice in its future and a stake in its success. Payment plans and fractional ownership options are also available. And as infrastructure grows, pricing is expected to rise, making now an ideal time to join a community built for purpose, in a landscape that still feels wild.
