Arriba Verde is an eco-community that has evolved as an extension of the Earthship Community at Casa Llanta. This community of home lots is located 6.6 kilometers south of San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua’s primary surf tourist destination and real estate hot spot.

Arriba Verde offers ocean view lots sized 1/2 to 6 acres each for prices starting as low as $15K.

The community is completely off-grid. Individual lot owners are utilize alternative energy systems to capture and use their own energy. Current lot owners are deciding between Earthships, bamboo houses, yurts and pre-fabricated housing options made of renewable materials.

Included with each lot purchase is a complete Due Diligence Assessment of their lot from the in-house LEED Accredited Professional Engineer. The assessment determines optimum building location and orientation to minimize site disturbance and maximize solar and wind harvesting.

The goal within this housing project is to create a community of self-sufficient, sustainable homes, while connecting with and supporting the local community of El Carizal. The Earthship at Casa Llanta currently functions as a learning center, hosting demonstrations on recycling and organic farming.

Relief efforts continue to grow organically based upon the needs of the locals and the skill set of the community members and volunteers who join the team.
