Six titled lots · 9 hectares · Miches, Dominican Republic
Five hillside lots with an ocean view and one interior lot, each with its own Deslinde title. Sold directly by the co-founders — no agency, no commission.
Punta Cana in the 1990s had the same coastline and none of today's legal protections. Miches is at that stage now — with the titles already in order.
Timing
Four Seasons Tropicalia (opening 2027) is 20 minutes from Vista Serena. Club Med Exclusive Collection already operates on Playa Esmeralda, 15 minutes away. Six tier-1 hotel brands have chosen this coast. Buying now means buying before the price shift that follows a Four Seasons address.
Tax
Law 158-01 grants qualifying tourism projects up to 15 years of exemptions on income tax, property tax, and import duties. Vista Serena lots are eligible — approval is per project, not automatic.
Ground
IngeoCaribe completed 3 boreholes to 8 meters in December 2025. The soil supports construction. Individual Deslinde titles are registered at the Tribunal de Tierras — the highest title security in the Dominican Republic.
| Criterion | Punta Cana | Miches |
|---|---|---|
| Ocean view | Rare, premium price | 5 of 6 lots |
| Title security | Varies | Deslinde (Tribunal de Tierras) |
| Tax incentive | Limited | CONFOTUR 15 years (eligible) |
| 5-star hotel proximity | Surrounded, saturated | Four Seasons 20 min (opening 2027) |
| Mass tourism | Yes | No — eco-luxury positioning |
Same titles, same bedrock, same view. The difference is what you want the land to do.
Private villa
A second home or retirement retreat on a Deslinde-titled lot with 180° views over Samaná Bay. Start from 50 USD/m² (Lot F, interior) to 120 USD/m² (Lot B2, ocean view). You own the land, you choose the architect, you build at your pace.
Boutique hotel · Lot B
Lot B (8,508 m²) is designed for an eco-tourism project: 3 sub-lots (B1, B2, B3 = 6,052 m² buildable) with a preserved green zone (~2,456 m²). Co-founded by Ramón Peña Corsino (Founder, 33 years preserving the domain) and François Bénard (Co-Founder, Founder of Talipot Boutique Lodge), Vista Serena is an owner-operated estate. François is building his own lodge on the same land — you build alongside, not alone.
In fairness
Miches is not Punta Cana — not yet, and that is the point. The airport is 2 hours away, not 45 minutes. The roads are improving but not finished. There is no nightlife, no shopping mall, no international school within walking distance. What there is: a preserved coastline, 6 tier-1 hotel brands committed to Playa Esmeralda, a New York Times recommendation (#29, '52 Places to Go' 2026), and land at a fraction of what the same view costs elsewhere in the Caribbean. We sell to people who see what is coming, not to people who need what is already there. If that is not you, we respect that — and we would rather say it now than after you have signed.
Status and pricing updated from the canonical record — what you see is what is available.

Ramón kept these nine hectares intact for thirty-three years. I'm building my own lodge on the hill. You'll be talking to us, not to an agency.

Vista Serena offers 6 lots from 50 to 120 USD/m². Lot F (interior position) at 50 USD/m². Lots A, B, C, D, E (guaranteed 180° ocean view) range from 60 to 120 USD/m² depending on size and position. For comparison, equivalent ocean-view land in Punta Cana trades at 150-450+ USD/m². Prices verified September 2026 by François Bénard, Co-Founder alongside Founder Ramón Peña Corsino.
The Deslinde is the most secure form of real estate title in the Dominican Republic — an individual Certificado de Título registered at the Tribunal de Tierras, legally enforceable against all parties including the State. Unlike informal purchase contracts or generic titles, a Deslinde means your lot boundaries cannot be challenged. All 6 Vista Serena lots have individual Deslinde titles ready for immediate transfer. The purchase process (notarial deed + registration at the land registry) typically takes 4 to 8 weeks after agreement.
Law CONFOTUR 158-01 (see confotur.mitur.gob.do) grants approved tourism projects in Miches and other priority zones up to 15 years of full tax exemption: 3% transfer tax (ITBI), 1% annual property tax (IPI), and tourism income taxes. Eligibility requires a formal application to the Ministry of Tourism (mitur.gob.do) with project documentation. Vista Serena's Talipot Boutique Lodge is currently in approval process. Important: CONFOTUR benefits are not automatic — they require formal certification.
Four Seasons Tropicalia opens in 2027, just 20 minutes from Vista Serena. Historical precedents from comparable DR corridors (Las Terrenas after Club Med, Cap Cana after Four Seasons) show significant price movements in the 2 years following a luxury brand opening. With 6 Tier-1 hotel brands confirmed on Playa Esmeralda and the New York Times ranking Miches #29 in 2026, the infrastructure wave has started — but lot availability is limited. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
