Lot 1 Pacific Ocean View

Lot 1 Pacific Ocean View

A good friend with a much better camera than mine took a walk around the property snapping photos from different angles. He was kind enough to give them to me so I would like to share them. Here are some of the photos he took with my descriptions.

I highly recommend clicking on the photos for a detailed view. Wow! What a difference a good camera makes.

Balsa Trees less than one year old

These Balsa trees sprouted in disturbed earth on the fill slope at the entrance of the drive to Lot 3. Although hard to tell in the photo some of these trees are over 20ft tall. I originally planned to plant grasses on this slope to avoid erosion. Luckily for me nature has away of taking over and thankfully I did not have to do any planting.

Drive/Road

This photo and the one below are both of the same part of the road just from different ends. The above photo is from the entrance of Lot 1 looking back towards the entrance of Lot 2. The ocean is visible in the background.

Drive/Road

This photo is from the entrance of the Lot 2 homesite towards the homesite of Lot 1. The large flat area at the end of the road is the main homesite of Lot 1. Notice the leftside of the road is lined with a tall grass. Locally called Valariana, it looks like a tall sawgrass and is known for its erosion control use. The roots spread out to 3 meters and it will grow in almost any type of soil. I planted this to control erosion of the fill slopes of the road and to create a visual barrier for those not accustomed to driving in the mountians. It has performed incredibly! To get an idea of the size of the homesite, look close, I am walking at the end of the drive.

Fruit Trees

This is one of the hillsides above Lot 1 and Lot 2 planted with various fruit trees; Mangos, Oranges, Guavas, Papayas, Cashews and more. These trees will attract many local birds and other indeginous animals.

Western side of Lot 3

This is a cropped photo of the valley that runs along the western side of Lot 3. The homesite of Lot 3 is surrounded by a deep forested valley to its east, a shallower valley to its west, reforested rolling hills with the ocean view to its south and reforested hills to its north. Lot 3 is the largest and most private of the three lots in phase one.
