While setting the highest standards in green building and sustainable development, we have researched and applied the most ecologically sound building concepts and architectural theories and practices, while utilizing sustainable materials (i.e. sustainably-harvested lumber and bamboo, site rock re-use, sustainable roofing solutions, cutting-edge waste-water treatment and storm-water management systems, etc.).
Residents will have the opportunity to live vitally connected with nature on a certified organic farm.

The lush tropical climate promotes an incredibly abundant and diverse harvest providing residents with a substantial portion of their food requirements lovingly grown and naturally raised throughout the community by our local team of farmers, gardeners and caretakers.

Valle de Machuca  is registered at the National Registry of Costa Rica as a "Land Condominium" under the laws and rules of Costa Rica.  As such, each lot is owned, subject to and deed restricted by, the condominium regulations and governed by the condominium association.  The developer will control the condominium until it is legally required to give up its control in favor of lot owner control.  It is our intent to provide our lot owners with reasonable rules that are protective of our community, lifestyle and our investments. As an example, each lot owner will be provided with the community "Pattern Book," authorized by the condominium documents. 

Among other elements contained in the Pattern Book, there is included a list of building and landscape guidelines and requirements (i.e. materials, colors, working hours, etc.) for qualified builders, contractors and lot owners to strictly follow. Sorry, no purple and pink houses! The architectural requirements and individual owners' architectural requests will be discussed and adjudicated by the Architectural Committee.  This will ensure that the mission and principles of our eco-communities are fulfilled and that community investment values will be maintained.          

Kopali Communities will work in collaboration with carefully selected builders and architects who understand and practice sustainable building and preservation of the natural settings and landscapes, in order to assist owners in building the perfect "zero energy home."

 
Good for you, good for the people and good for the planet

Valle de Machuca is a place for people who wish to live healthy and sustainable lifestyles.  A place where there are no fences between neighbors.  A place where "community" truly has meaning.  A place where environmental stewardship and social justice are everyday issues - not just a fleeting notion.  We wish to create a home where residents can live, work and play...where children can play outside without fear of harm.


 
Do you know where your food comes from?

Most people answer this question with a "no!"  In today's world, our food systems have become industrialized and globalized, our seeds have been hijacked by corporations who wish to control what is grown for human consumption and our crops are genetically modified mono-cultures where yield is valued more than nutrition.  Residents of a Kopali community wish to not only know where their food comes from, but also who is cultivating and caring for it.
