A PLACE TO CONNECT WITH THE ESSENTIAL
Located in Villa Larca, San Luis, Bella Terra combines nature, comfort, and community in a development designed for those who desire a more authentic and sustainable lifestyle. This project was born with the purpose of uniting the best of two worlds:
"The security of a planned environment and the freedom to live in harmony with nature"

WE ARE
Chosen not only for its special characteristics, such as the minerals that make up the soil of the Comechingones Mountains, but also for the energy content of its water, and for its world-renowned microclimate, this 135-hectare plot offers a unique "centrality" in our country when it comes to tourist destinations with these characteristics.
Generalities
At Bella Terra, every member plays an active role: you don’t just inhabit a space — you help build a shared way of life, rooted in collaboration, respect, and personal growth.
CURRENT GENERAL FEATURES
• Urban/Touristic/Productive development covering 135 hectares, located in Villa Larca, San Luis, Argentina.
• Excellent vehicle access (including a concrete ford), only 3 km from Provincial Route No. 1 (uphill).
• Rich native vegetation (Molles Pipa, Talas, Cocos, Sombra de Toro, Piquilín, Mulberries) and notable non-native species (Araucarias, Poplars, Oaks, Tipas), among others.
The entire southern boundary borders El Río Seco.

• This beautiful piece of land offers a stunning natural viewpoint overlooking the majestic Sierra de los Comechingones.
FUTURE GENERAL FEATURES
• Subdivision into 107 plots ranging from 0.5 to 1.7 hectares each.
• Road layout with chip-stabilized surfaces (produced from forestry management).
• Solar-powered street lighting throughout internal roads.
• Perimeter fencing and construction of a shared entrance area.
• Internal Wi-Fi network using non-invasive technologies.
• Water network combining treated potable water, underground river wells, and natural springs, free from harmful chemicals (fluoride, chlorine).
Includes community-built rainwater collection systems.

• Construction of a 1,600 m² hotel (private development).
• Construction of a natural swimming pool for shared use.
• Restoration and maintenance of the historic internal irrigation canal and lake, with a 1,440,000-liter water reserve.
• Adaptation of the historic house into a multi-use hall (SUM), preserving its original features and adding a minimalist extension.
• Building a shared greenhouse.
• Building a mushroom cultivation greenhouse.
• Development of a hydroponic cultivation area.
• Creation of a Product Exchange Hub for collective and individual surplus.
• Construction of a Cultural Area (Amphitheater).
• Designated area for Forest School activities.
• Productive development zone (pecan, kiwi, vine, olive, avocado, and more).
• Restoration of an existing 2,000 m² corral for small livestock.
• Creation of sports areas, hiking trails, and a mountain bike circuit.
• Establishment of a reforestation protocol to aid forest regeneration and sustainable biomass production.
• Construction of a workshop area powered by grid electricity (including blacksmithing, carpentry, painting, etc.).
And much more — emerging organically from daily life and shared experience, shaping a place that grows ever more alive, resilient, and self-sufficient.

Unique Features of Bella Terra
HOTEL
A hotel will be built in the first stage, covering 1,600 m², designed to welcome visitors interested in experiencing our way of life.
Through a wide range of activities, our goal is for guests to tune into Bella Terra’s frequency — the most genuine way to share and leave them with the essence of our spirit.
MULTIPURPOSE ROOM
Work will be carried out on the historic estate, with the goal of modernizing it and transforming it into a hall where not only residents can hold their celebrations and gatherings, but which will also serve as a center for artistic, holistic, and educational activities — nurturing both the growth of the community and the personal development of each resident.
DOMES AREA
Geodesic Domes will be built for temporary rental, and exploitation transfer for exploitation
tourism and awareness of visitors, who want
know this type of structure and its special characteristics.
Friendly to the Toroidal field and the Environment.
FOREST SCHOOL
Construction of the Educational Area
We believe in a free educational format, fully integrated with nature, based on fostering children's gifts and talents. Methodologies such as Waldorf and Montessori, where children learn not only through play, but also by embracing their role within the Free Community.
PRODUCTIVE AREA
Mixed productive development.
A sector will be available for the production of Organic Foods
such as pecan nuts, kiwi, olives, avocados, grapes, among others. This will allow us to generate resources for internal satisfaction through consumption and exchange.
NURSERY
A greenhouse will be built for the production of organic food out of season, as well as to support the individual productive processes of each plot through seedbeds of various species.
The focus will always be on internal consumption and the exchange of surplus produce within the community.
DARK NURSERY
A nursery will be built to propagate different mushroom species, providing protein to those who have abandoned meat consumption. It will also serve as a productive venture to sell our products to other communities.
HYDROPONICS
The hydroponic cultivation system is designed not only for the community’s own food production, but also for growing natural fodder for farm animals. It provides significant nutritional value to their diet and is environmentally friendly due to its low water consumption.
A way to care for Pacha — Mother Earth.
EXCHANGE BOX
A Market or Exchange Hub will be built so that each family’s surplus production does not go to waste or return unused to the soil, but can instead be shared and utilized by other clans within the Exempt Community.
This system will help ensure a diverse supply of organic foods, promoting a healthy and sustainable diet for all.
HARA
A horse breeding and raising program will be developed, primarily for recreational activities and equine therapy.
We believe that fostering a connection between our children — our legacy — and horses will provide them with countless benefits for both personal and motor development.
FARM
A livestock program will be developed to raise animals for the production of various types of eggs, dairy products, and cheeses, along with a protocol for ethical meat production, ensuring that all animals live dignified and natural lives.
Additionally, sheep will be raised for wool production and to assist in the natural control of low vegetation growth.
More, always more
All community members will propose and collaborate in activities such as horticultural therapy, composting, biogas production, water purification, pellet generation for winter heating, reforestation, cultural events, and the creation of a community library, among many other initiatives.
