Georgia USA Native Opens New Development in Costa Rica Blue Zone

CARRILLO, Costa Rica – Every time Terry Lewis looks out the window he is treated to a view most only dream about.

From one side of his house he can look down into forested valleys where colorful birds sing and fly about. From the other, he looks at the azure blue of the Pacific Ocean as far as the eye can see and the unspoiled, palm-lined white-sand beaches it laps.

This idyllic setting has been the Lewis’ personal slice of paradise for 23 years, and he’s offering his view to investors looking for a permanent, second or retirement home or investment property in one of the most unique and healthy regions of the world. Boca del Toro Carrillo is a 250-acre development on the Nicoya Peninsula on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast. In addition to providing breathtaking views, the region has been identified by National Geographic researchers as one of the largest Blue Zones in the world, where residents enjoy the longest and healthiest lives

A major factor in the vitality of the locals is the mineral-rich water they drink. It brings the area notoriety as a Fountain of Youth, making Lewis akin to a modern-day Ponce de Leon.

According to ABC News, “In 2005, Dr. Luis Rosero-Bixby, a Costa Rican demographer trained in the United States, presented a paper at an international conference claiming to have discovered that 60-year old Costa Ricans have the longest life expectancy of anyone in the world. In other words, if you are middle aged and live in Costa Rica, you are more likely to reach, say, a healthy age 90 than your counterparts worldwide.” Lewis, a Georgia native with a proven track record as a successful businessman, has had a love affair with the region ever since he accepted a friend’s suggestion to vacation there some 23 years ago. He’s been an advocate of environmental issues for longer and has incorporated both passions in his development of the property. Soon after he arrived, Terry quietly designed and built clean water systems for two neighboring towns. He pledges to develop no more than five percent of the property, including roads, leaving the rest as a natural preserve and wildlife habitat. He offers a five-percent rebate to property investors who build within 18 months and incorporate an alternative energy system in their plan. “I feel it’s important,” Lewis said. “Everyone needs to do what they can to help the environment. The things I’ve seen, in similar developments, are not always what you want to see. People will come in and they’ll take a small piece of land and try to put as much on it as they can.”

“It’s really all about living in harmony with nature and being in a place you’re not crowded and smoked out by somebody being too close. Property owners like the fact we’re conserving the planet and still have a nice place to live without having an adverse effect on the environment.” Plans call for no more than 60 homesites located in the three sections of the development. Homesites start in the low $100ks, with two-bedroom Mediterranean-style homes (designed to blend into the environment) with swimming pools and ocean views going for less than $300,000. Boca del Toro Carrillo is conveniently located between two international airports and accessible to neighboring towns for all the necessary services and amenities required for year-round living. Lewis has made the development his year-round residence, which offers the advantage of providing a turnkey service for owner financing, home design and construction, maintenance and security. “If you really believe in something you’re participating in it,” he said. “I’m there because I do believe in it. I love it, and I think it’s beautiful. It’s really hard to describe how nice it is; you just about have to see it and feel it to know it.”
