Manzanillo, Mexico -- May. 24, 2007 – Environmental
conservation and clean, low impact living are the inspiration for Boca de
Iguanas, the newest beach front development found in a curved bay along the
Costalegre on Mexico’s Pacific Coast.
Located 40 minutes north of Manzanillo International Airport (ZLO), the
multi-use development of Boca de Iguanas, which broke ground in the fall of
2006 on 18 acres of prime beach real estate, offers 20 single-family ocean view
homes and 60 condos nestled in the jungle, a beach club and al fresco restaurant
on 1,000 meters of cream sand beach framed by spectacular sunsets and
star-spangled skies. A boutique hotel with an eclectic mix of 10 suites
reflecting contemporary Mexican design, and 40 rustic eco-chic cabanas hidden
in the hills, along with a holistic wellness spa featuring healing therapies
and yoga are also in the works.
Boca de Iguanas is the first
mixed-use project for Moksa Development, a Mexican corporation under the
guidance of Californian Robert M. Oveson. The vision is to offer an unparalleled
21st century vacation/lifestyle experience in a pristine,
ecologically-progressive gated community with 24 hour security, alternative
clean energy sources – such as individual solar power arrays for electricity
and solar heated water for each home – and underground utilities, all situated
around a rare mangrove ecosystem that flows through the property.
“Mangrove ecosystems all over the world are endangered and being plowed under
by developments,” said Robert Oveson. Coastal mangrove systems act as massive
sieves that filter saltwater into fresh water, prevent soil erosion, and
provide crucial nesting grounds and shelter for a myriad of aquatic, aviary and
reptilian species. “That’s why our primary focus at Boca de Iguanas has been to
preserve and protect this mangrove, and implement a code of lifestyle that
reflects clean living,” Mr. Oveson explained.
Life at Boca de Iguanas revolves around a dynamic community center inspired by
the traditional pueblito at the heart of Mexico’s colonial heritage.
Stand-alone “green” homes starting at 3,000 sq. ft. and $375K are designed in
contemporary Mexican architectural style and set against gurgling fountains,
laneways that arc through blossoming local flora, and the backdrop of a
stunning reconstructed church against a piercing blue sky. The result is a
pristine setting that allows residents and vacationers to experience the
stunning natural beauty of the area while indulging in first-class amenities.
To maximize on the “greenness” of the community, plumbing will connect to
community gray water recycling systems, and an onsite sewage treatment plant.
Custom homes with flexible floor plans and one-on-one personalized detailing
between architect and owner reflect a perfect marriage of indoor and outdoor living:
expansive courtyards, built-in natural cooling systems, and welcoming patios,
ample storage space, artistic brick domed ceilings, enclosed garden areas and
bathrooms under the stars.
Boca de Iguanas is for couples and families seeking wellness of being, physical
activities, cultural encounters, and luxurious surroundings packaged in a
complete high-end vacation experience.
