[Meet Bergamota 13, the home ready for delivery](https://ownmila.com/en/propiedad-bergamota.html) ## What people ask before investing. **What is MILA?** MILA is a Costa Rican platform that connects investors with curated wellness real estate: places where nature, architecture and wellbeing meet. Its Destination 01 is Místico, a beach community in Playa Hermosa de Jacó. Sabbatical Collective creates the places, MILA connects the investment and Belong brings them to life. **Where is Místico? Is it the Playa Hermosa in Guanacaste?** No. Místico is in Playa Hermosa de Jacó, Garabito, Puntarenas, on Costa Rica's Central Pacific. The beach is 3.4 km away (about 5 minutes by car), Jacó center is 11 km and Juan Santamaría airport (SJO) is 94 km, roughly 1 h 50 by car. **What are the three ways to take part in a MILA home?** Development funds construction as bridge capital, about 8 months per home and 2 homes a year. Bare ownership buys the title at a discount and keeps the whole home at the end of the cycle. Usufruct buys the right to use and rent the home during the cycle, and guests pay. **Can I live in the home, or is it only for investors?** It depends on the right you buy. Usufruct is the right to use and rent the home during the cycle; bare ownership leaves you the whole home at the end of the cycle. Bergamota 13 is finished, furnished and ready for delivery, and Belong also opens retreats, stays and wellbeing experiences in the ecosystem's places. **Which home is available today and at what price?** Casa Bergamota 13, in the Remanso neighborhood of Místico: 3 bedrooms, furnished, private pool and tropical garden, listed at $865,000 and ready for delivery. It is photographed as it stands, with 28 real photos and no renders. **Do the figures on the site promise a return?** No. Every figure is an illustrative scenario, under validation, built on stated assumptions such as a 10% base appreciation and 40% or 60% occupancy. Each investment is confirmed in its own contract; use the calculator to test your own scenario.
