ABOUT US

One Company. Every Step. Your Piece of Paradise.

YourPieceOfParadise was created for people who want a real piece of land in Costa Rica and a home built exactly the way they imagined it — without juggling brokers, architects, and contractors who've never spoken to each other. Founded by Thomas Ringshandl and Javier Villalobos Montero in Hojancha, on the Nicoya Peninsula, we own the land, design the home, and build it ourselves — using teak and melina, two of the most durable hardwoods in Central America.”

What Our Customers Are Saying

Stars
“In 2023 we decided to invest in Costa Rica — for us one of the most beautiful countries in the world.”
Our very first meeting with Thomas and Javier was built on so much trust that we agreed on the land purchase, the build plan, and the timeline that same day.
The construction was completed on time and within the agreed budget, despite challenging terrain. From our first contact to receiving the keys was just six months. Absolute recommendation.

“Had his dream Home built in Costa Rica with YourPieceOfParadise”
The deciding factor for me was that electricity and water were already available on the Land. However, what particularly impressed me was the comprehensive support: Thomas took care of everything – from the plans and the architect to accompanying me to the notary and dealings with the authorities.
