A handful of Tierra Del Sol home owners, representatives of Thiel Corporation N.V., members of the sales office and the in-house construction team attended a happy milestone in the history of Tierra del Sol Resort & Country Club, last Friday. The hillside gathering marked the symbolic groundbreaking of a new yet already very successful neighborhood, Miramar, which will soon be sprouting within the complex. Contractors Cande and Anthony Thiel, at the helm of a well-established local company have been selected to build the infrastructure for the new development. They joined the small crowd toasting the continued growth of Tierra Del Sol as they inspected the gorgeous ocean-views over which the luxury cluster of villas will be built.
Bob Elwood, who is the Community Manager reports 22 of the 28 house/lot packages are pre-sold, which is an unprecedented situation, he states. It is clearly a sign of economic upswing and an indication that luxury homes are now in demand on the island. With rising property values within Tierra Del Sol, some of the country club’s residents will be upgrading from Las Campeonas to Miramar. For example the Hoffman’s, the Hopkins’ and the Metrey’s will be moving within the community to new and larger homes.
Milagros Gil Sanchez, an architect on the design and construction team is proud to undertake the creation of a new project. It is the first one started from scratch, she says, by Tierra del Sol’s current Dutch ownership and it will be her job to see to it that all pieces fit together and that all specifications are met, a challenge she finds very exciting. The sales office at Tierra Del Sol was recently blessed with a new addition, Tamara Scaroni, a former Miss Aruba, whose famed charm and beauty have been recruited to service owners and to contribute to the smooth running of the Real Estate office administration.
Miramar, says Elwood who is a lawyer by profession, will comprise 28 beautifully detailed one and two story, two and three bedroom Mediterranean-styled villa homes perched on a hillside overlooking the stunning Caribbean Sea and with views to the evening skyline. Like its sold-out sister neighborhood, Mesa Vista, Miramar’s homes come with upscale tile floor and wall finishes, European kitchens, dramatic architecture and detailing, one-car garages, all appliances and front yard landscaping, all included in the base price of the home plus lot, which range from $ 369,000 to $ 469,000, for the lots and homes available. A full array of selections, options and extras, and back yard pools and patios are available.
Tierra del Sol is Aruba’s only master planned community and is home to one of Robert Trent Jones, II’s most challenging and beautiful golf courses, the elegant Ventanas del Mar Restaurant, gorgeous Le Soleil Lounge, exquisite Body & Soul Spa & Fitness Center, and Tennis Center. It also has plans for a beach club and convenience shopping. Homes there include cozy condominiums, some with golf and ocean views, small and larger luxury villas, and estate lots for custom homes. Prices from the $ 200,000’s to over one million dollars. Services include a complete package of home maintenance services, security, and a highly successful Vacation Rental Program.
