Sierra del Mar - A Privileged Residential Community fall-winter/99 The Osuna family has managed, with patience and endurance, to create a unique development within an environmentally spectacular area. In a world where most housing projects start with a bulldozer creating a moon-like surface on which to build cement monoliths, it is rare to meet with the Osunas and share their vision of peace, serenity and privilege. Sierra del Mar is known as a "Privileged Residential Community" because the Osunas themselves feel privileged to live in such an extraordinary atmosphere. For more than forty years, against many odds, the family commitment to maintaining and preserving the wildlife, flora and fauna of Sierra del Mar has remained firm. "We are the caretakers of the beauty of this land that God has placed in our hands." Unshakable faith has led Carlos Osuna Sáenz since the day he discovered and purchased his land south of Puerto Vallarta. Since then the property has been developed with his son, Carlos Osuna Penn, who has taken over the day to day business of carefully crafting this magnificent residential community. Located only a few miles south of Puerto Vallarta's busy downtown, Sierra del Mar is worlds away. Even the temperature is different on the mountain - cooler, with breezes from the Bay of Banderas. The views encompass white sandy beaches, crystal clear water, green mountains, city lights, streams, gigantic boulders, and lush jungle. Dwarf parrots flock overhead and wild animals such as deer and raccoon roam freely. Stunning sunrises and star filled nights ensure sweet dreams in this very privileged community. Unique in Puerto Vallarta, Sierra del Mar offers its residents controlled access with 24 hour security, technical assistance to build your dream home, private maintenance and a huge percentage of green areas and low density construction. Respect for the preservation of the ecology has been placed first in every aspect of the residential park-like setting. Streets and roads go around rocks and massive mango and oak trees if need be. Homes are situated to receive full advantage of the breathtaking scenery yet privacy is also important and architecturally inherent. The Osuna family emphasizes moderate growth, careful construction of the highest quality, all the while maintaining harmony with the environment not only outside (with guidelines from design to completion) but within the walls of the villas one can expect outstanding interiors and the finest craftsmanship. Community can be defined as "sharing." At Sierra del Mar Mexicans, Americans, and Europeans; couples, families, professionals or retired people share their ideals, their deep sense of caring for the very land that sustains, enriches and enhances life. This privileged community breathes fresh air and drinks pure, clean water. A new phase has been at Sierra del Mar and with it comes the opportunity to build under massive Oak trees, so rare in the Tropics. "Los Encinos" with only eight lots, is being developed consistent with the rest of the community. It lies between two streams and sits more than a hundred meters above sea level. Sierra del Mar is currently offering two villas so completely finished, you need only pack your clothes and a toothbrush! These magnificent homes, designed to invite the outside indoors, with terraces offering splendid water and mountain views. Lushly planted gardens and swimming pools enhance the already lovely terrain. The interiors have been lavishly furnished and tastefully decorated by some of Mexico's most talented designers. Comfort and elegance combine to make living in this rarified Privileged Residential Community indeed. Where the Osuna family's vision had its beginnings, a community of interesting people is emerging; treading carefully around the trees and rocks, making space for residents whose lifestyles require the tranquility, beauty and peace offered at Sierra del Mar. That is how the Osunas are making their vision a realty and are inviting those privileged few to join their community, share in its abundance, live in this paradise, and call Sierra del Mar home - like their new neighbors, Victoria and Walter Shaw. Walter - recently named one of the ten best money managers in the U.S. - has said one of the plusses of Sierra del Mar has been dealing with Carlos Osuna Penn. "It's a pleasure doing business with him and working shoulder to shoulder with his team. They have always come through with their deadlines and are creating for us the home we have always dreamed of."
