About this property

Las Catalinas embodies the principles of New Urbanism, prioritizing human connection and environmental sustainability in its design. This is achieved through the inclusion of public plazas, streets free of automobiles, shopping boulevards, restaurants, work and study spaces, and marketplaces. The absence of cars allows residents to experience a sense of community reminiscent of earlier times. Designed for biking and walking, the homes and buildings in Las Catalinas make efficient use of space and topography. A stroll through the area may evoke memories of places like Antigua in the Caribbean, Casco Viejo in Panama, or Vernazza on the Italian coast. Of the 1,200 acres that make up Las Catalinas, only 200 acres are designated for development, while the remaining 1,000 acres are preserved as forest, home to exotic birds, howler monkeys, iguanas, and the occasional wild cat. Within this reserve, there are thirty-five kilometers of hiking paths and various mountain bike trails that offer panoramic views of the ocean. For those who enjoy water activities, the clear waters offshore are perfect for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, bodysurfing, and more. Las Catalinas serves as a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, hosting multiple annual events that engage the entire community.
