Nestled among the hills of Samana, next to the beach town of Las Terrenas, lies Terrazas de Coson. The project is the realization of one man's dream to live in the midst of nature without sacrificing modern conveniences. European developers VALMAN created the ultimate "eco-chic" lifestyle, available to elite travelers from around the globe.

Terrazas de Coson consists of 72 "Villa Estates" nestled within the hillside and spread across 370 acres of land. The villas are available in three designs and range up to 12,000 square feet (1040M�). International design experts GVA fashioned each villa around its particular setting.

Carlisle, world-wide leader in ecologically compatible construction techniques, is providing each villa with a garden tile roof saving power and diminishing environmental impact. All homes will run on solar energy and be built with eco-friendly materials.

Each estate is 200 meters above sea level offering unparalleled views of the ocean and mountains. Homes boast multiple pools with waterfalls and streams throughout the property. With a global acknowledgment of the importance of 'green initiatives,' Terrazas de Coson could not come at a more opportune time, showing the world's elite how to live a life of luxury while contributing to a better earth.

Terrazas de Coson will feature an exclusive five-star boutique hotel with 28 bungalows. It will provide residents and guests with an extensive collection of conveniences such as bars, a tennis club, a private beach club/spa, and several restaurants, under the direction of world renowned Chef Christophe Leroy.

Las Terrenas is only steps away where visitors can enjoy the picturesque village with its abundance of international bars, restaurants, shops, and more. With a balmy climate and warm breezes visitors can explore outdoor adventures including horseback riding, 4-wheeling, and many water sports.

With its own heliport, Terrazas de Coson is easily accessible while upholding the privacy it promises. Central to six airports, including the new El Catey International Airport only 15 minutes away, the project is conveniently located off the new highway from the capital of Santo Domingo which has shortened the drive from 5 hours to a mere 1.5 hours.
