MONTE MAR LOCATION AND OVERVIEW
Monte Mar is in northwestern Costa Rica, on a mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The project has two entrance gates that are only 25 minutes (25 km) from the Liberia International Airport. The northern gate is accessed from Playas del Coco and the southern gate is accessed from Nuevo Colon.
The project combines two properties totaling over 200 hectares (500 acres). The Northern Property is on the Coco side of the mountain with views of Coco Bay and the Papagayo Peninsula. The Southern Property is on the Nuevo Colon side and has sweeping views of forested hills and ravines.
Low Density Design
The Northern Mountain Side has a total of 42 Ocean View lots and 46 Valley View lots for the initial sales phase. This low-density design will preserve the natural beauty of the mountain, maintain the views, and provide privacy without seclusion for the home sites.
The Southern Mountain Side will feature a combination of private lots and more communal neighborhoods.
