Why Marenal is a great choice for you.
Location
Our location in the highlands around Lake Arenal is still relatively underdeveloped. However, more and more people from all over the world are recognizing its advantages, and the early settlers are benefitting from it.
The small town of Nuevo Arenal has all the amenities one needs.
The cooler climate makes year-round living, shall we say "cool"!
We are surrounded by evergreen fauna and flora, beautiful views of mountains with their volcanos in a comfortable distance.
Lake Arenal, the largest lake in the land, is great for fishing and water activities.
And yet, if you like hot weather and scorching sand, the Pacific Ocean is only a two hour drive away. Perfect for the occasional visit to satisfy your swimming, diving or surfing needs.
But best of all are our friendly and peaceful people of the highland!
Concept
Our concept of Cooperation without Coercion is the basis of our community, where every partner is free to decide his level of participation. This freedom of choice opens communication, which leads to cooperation, which in turn creates opportunity. Every Partner will be respected for his opinions and actions, as long as they are not harmful to others.
Our eco-focused infrastructure prioritizes renewable energy.
Health
By growing much of our vegetables, fruits, fish and livestock, we will be keeping our cost of living down while improving our health.
Our commitment to organic agriculture provides a health-centric life of physical well-being with reduced, or completely eliminated dependence on pharmaceutical products.
Our Health Center with its covered pool, exercise and yoga pad, weights and pilates equipment is a great place to congregate and meet your neighbors.
Abundant organic tropical fruits and vegetables add to our health and mental clarity.
Social
Our shared values appeal to people of different national backgrounds and cultures. Our vision of a new society, based on cooperation, not coercion; on equity and justice, not greed and selfishness; will attract many enlightened minds.
Our transparent and consent based decision making, encourages each partner to contribute ideas, skills, and resources toward our collective goal for a better life.
Here, one can build relationships of lasting value in a community of collaborative spirit, which is critical for generational existence.
Economics
Marenal is offering all residential properties on a "first come - first served" basis at the same price of $175,000. The first ten (10) approved community partners, who place a non-refundable deposit, will receive a $25,000 early bird discount.
The purchase price includes an equal share (1/32) of 28,000 m2 of community land and 46,000 m2 of commercial properties.
All building locations will be ready for construction when the partner's construction plans have been approved by the municipality.
We protect your investment with a "First Right of Refusal clause in the Purchase and Sale Agreement". Should the buyer of a partner's property not meet MPA's approval, and another community approved purchaser is not available, then Marenal FGK' s owner, Franz Meier, will provide the repurchase funds until MPA is self-funding.
We want to build a financial foundation for the community as rapidly as possible.
Within a thriving network of like-minded individuals, it will create economic opportunities for our partners. We also help our partners to create their own enterprises, which in turn will add to a resilient micro-economy. All of these efforts support personal and communal prosperity.
Of course, there are other questions, which we will answer after we have received your response to our "Compatibility Assessment" and have arranged a personal or on-line visit.
The price is right and the time is now!
