The Orchards of Playa Blanca, Costa Rica

Located on the northwest Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, The Orchards of Playa Blanca provides a very affordable investment opportunity for people seeking a tranquil lifestyle in an environmentally sustainable community. The Orchards is 1,200 meters from Playa Blanca, a white sand beach on the north end of Playa Junquillal on the “Gold Coast” of Guanacaste Province. The property is 20 - 30 meters abo

ve sea level and only a 10-minute drive from the world-class surfing beaches of Playa Negra and Playa Avellanas. Principal developer Bob Pavelich has been visiting the Gold Coast of Costa Rica for 13 years. Prior to and during that time, Pavelich owned and operated Topline Project Management Inc., a civil construction company specializing in park, environmental and geotechnical projects in Canada. The vision of Pavelich is to develop the property with an ecologically sustainable, park-like, “orchard” theme. To this end, the property has been hand-cleared of brush, leaving the existing forest. Endangered trees were carefully protected, and approximately 30,000 more trees and shrubs were planted or propagated during the 2008 green season. The drainage courses and wildlife corridors located within the property also have been maintained. The developers encourage buyers to follow the “orchard” theme in their landscape designs and to abide by some general architectural guidelines. In short, The Orchards of Playa Blanca seeks buyers who will be good stewards of the land and contribute to the local ecology and the local community. Some websites about the area:
