Los Altos, Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic
Offers over $495,000
Reference: INT080002
Los Altos is a collection of loft style apartments and villas within the prestigious Casa de Campo development in a quiet corner of the Dominican Republic.
The properties are situated around one of the most spectacular golf courses in the world, and the views across the lush forest and deep ravine onto the marina and ocean is one to be savoured.
Casa de Campo itself was created over 30 years ago with the aim of harnessing the tropical Caribbean land and seascapes with the friendly Latin inhabitants results in a perfect blend of paradise and relaxation. Casa de Campo literally means ‘Country House’ in English and the objective by the founders was to create just that – a home in the countryside to serve as retreat for the affluent locals, neighbouring Hispanics and those with Latino souls in south Florida.
The development covers 7,000 acres in total with only half of this area populated with property. The mature vegetation camouflages homes and makes the area feel rustic and unspoilt; which teamed with six championship golf courses, polo fields, nature reserves, dense forests and lagoons means that open space is not at a premium.
Golf cars are the main method of transport between your home, the beach club, the marina, the shops and restaurants or just to visit friends. Although the area is not renowned for crime, the development is gated with security guards fading discretely into the background for ultimate reassurance. The list of celebrities who frequent Casa de Campo range from local heroes to Beyonce and British aristocracy. The society pages in local magazines are impressive, but discreet to the outside world. The juxtaposition of ‘relaxed luxury’ springs to mind for those who like a bit of glamour after a hard day on the golf course or riding through the many forests.
Altos de Chavon is a village within Casa de Campo (and adjacent to the Los Altos development) which was constructed by hand in local coral stone many years ago. The effect resembles an ancient Italian village nestling in the tropics. Restaurants in this small community are varied and of excellent standards, whilst the view across the ravine, the pristine Dye Fore golf course and the forests is one of wonder.
In terms of availability, 80% of Phase 1 is sold out. Phase 2 currently consists of one loft building which contains 12 properties: (there are 6 penthouses within this quota)
8 x 1 bedroom lofts
4 x 3 bedroom lofts
36 villas are due for construction which will be located on the frontline of the golf course and a row behind with views of the golf course.
Construction will be completed in Spring/Summer 2009.
The loft buildings in phase 1 and 2 have communal swimming pools (one pool every two buildings) with BBQ areas and a gym/spa facility located on the boundary of phase 2. The scheme also benefits from all the facilities of Casa de Campo.
