Rising costs and inflation have affected every sector and market around the globe. The Dominican Republic remains an amazing value with regards to quality of living and the related costs. While costs escalate and it becomes more difficult to make ends meet, we invite you to consider Estancia Natura as a viable alternative. I just finished building our home in Evergreen, Colorado. As the Architect and General Contract or of the home, I leveraged every advantage I had, and the cost of construction still came in around $280 per square foot. For many of us, these rising construction prices are beginning to get out of hand and for some of us, having a second is just plain out of reach. At Estancia Natura, our modern designs , with modern a menities and utilizing our robust construction methods, cost of construction is still well under 50% of what it costs to bu ild in the US. Add to this, the low operating costs and low tax rates, the viability and the Return On I nvestment in the DR is hard to walk away from.

We have virtually eliminate d the risk of purchasing a home in a foreign country. Our family’s history in country , living and working in the DR and the community we’ve helped create in the town of Jarabacoa, make it a much easier transition to living in the Caribbean.
