Astra

Astra is a gated community at Parada 45 of Playa Mansa, on the bay of Punta Ballena, where the forest meets the sea. It spans 16 hectares on the ocean's edge with 72 lots of between 1.000 and 1.500 m², designed to protect privacy and connection with the surroundings: forest, native wildlife, sea air and starry skies. A sober, natural proposal for those seeking a quiet retreat facing the Atlantic, in one of the fastest-appreciating areas of the coast.

The neighborhood is made up of 72 exclusive lots of 1.000 to 1.500 m², laid out to maximize privacy and contact with the forest. Infrastructure is where Astra sets itself apart from traditional subdivisions: sewer, water, power and fiber optics are already installed and fully underground, so no cable or pole interrupts the landscape. The landscaping plan is restorative, not decorative: reintroduction of native and endemic Punta Ballena species, interpretive trails through the coastal scrub with educational signage, and elevated walkways reaching the sea that protect the dunes, flora and fauna of the ecosystem. Whoever builds here will do so within a forest cared for by design, with clear rules that protect the value of every lot over the long term.

Astra occupies 16 unique hectares at Parada 45 of Playa Mansa, on the bay of Punta Ballena: an old maritime pine forest that runs down to the sand, on the grounds of the historic Hospital Marítimo. The location is strategic in every sense: five minutes to the nearest shopping center, ten to the international airport and the Club del Lago Golf, twenty-five to La Barra. But what defines the place isn't measured in minutes: the psammophilous thorn scrub — a native formation of very high ecological value —, the local wildlife and a starry sky the project has adopted as its emblem. It's one of the last great stretches of forested coast available between Punta Ballena and Punta del Este, and its scale is unlikely to be repeated on the market.

The common services were chosen with real use in mind rather than brochure appeal: round-the-clock surveillance with controlled access, beach service on the property's own shoreline —with an ideal area for kitesurfing, windsurfing, paddle boarding, rowing and kayaking—, a paddle court, a gym with sauna, a safe and creative space for kids, and an enclosed, equipped barbecue area for large gatherings. Sales are handled by top-tier operators in the area, and the project presents a consistent concept from start to finish: a refuge in the forest by the sea, where exclusivity is built with quiet, nature and few neighbors. For the buyer dreaming of a house among the pines with the sea at the end of the path, it's the most complete offering in the bay.
