To begin with, ARBORETTO is situated in what is arguably the nicest part of Mindo, with spectacular forest-covered hills, intimate valleys, pristine streams, rivers and more.
In this remarkable setting, ARBORETTO’s home sites and primary communal grounds will occupy 50 acres (20 hectares), where the home sites, lagoons, parks and communal constructions will be surrounded by lush natural vegetation and accessed by intimate roadways - mostly designed for specialty vehicles - and secluded paths.
Additionally, ARBORETTO will have a “conservation backyard” of over 800 acres (320+ hectares) and that should grow with time as further conser .
The home sites in ARBORETTO are set to privilege the marvelous views the area has to offer. There are river-view lots, lagoon-view lots and more privately-secluded lots with stunning panoramic views.
Each home site, at approximately 0.25 acres (1.000 m2), is large enough for the spectacular homes of ARBORETTO. Making the home sites this size is part of the thoughtful ARBORETTO concept where the communal areas and conservation backyard are privileged for the enjoyment of all participants and guests and the preservation of nature.
