Samaná Land Trust
The First Community Land Trust of Samaná. Built on Dominican Law, backed by Global Compliance.
Preserving Samaná
We must act now to protect the region before it’s too late
Samaná is approaching a critical tipping point. The question is no longer if it will be developed, but how. Without intervention, it faces one of two fates: disorganized small-scale sprawl or corporate mass tourism – the same unchecked overdevelopment that has damaged Punta Cana, Tulum, and Las Terrenas. The Samana Land Trust offers a disciplined, legally backed solution: a community-first, investor-secure stewardship model that protects the region’s integrity while generating sustainable, meaningful returns.
Our 4 Core Values Enforced by the Trust Constitution
1. Low-Density Development
We preserve 80% green space in every project, limiting total buildable land to 20%. Individual plots may reach 40% coverage, balanced with shared green areas as part of the Masterplan. We don’t build above trees, and we don’t cut healthy trees.
2. Sustainable Self-Sufficiency
We invest in profitable, scalable solutions to build resilient, self-reliant communities. Our targets include 40% on-site renewable energy, 40% water use from filtered rainwater, and community farms supplying 40% of the region’s fresh food within five years.
3. Inclusive Empowerment
We ensure local communities benefit directly by reinvesting 5% of profits into education and entrepreneurship, and reserving 20% of residential plots for Samaná residents at customs-assessed value – protecting both affordability and local identity.
4. Cultural Preservation
We honor Samaná’s unique heritage – from African-American settlers and Afro-Caribbean traditions to Taino roots and colonial influences. We support local institutions, promote traditional architecture and arts, and require cultural education for newcomers.

Samana Group has been assembling and developing land for ~20 years
2007 – Land Assembly Expertise
The journey began with the creation of a land titling company operating under a “services for land” model. Over 18 years, the company processed more than 1,500 ownership titles, typically retaining a 20% stake in each. This resulted in a consolidated land portfolio of 1,000 hectares (2,470 acres).
2012 – Hospitality Proof of Concept
Land was contributed in exchange for shares in six boutique eco hotels in Samaná. This partnership not only validated the potential of land-based equity models, but also generated 13 years of aggregated consumer data, offering deep insights into residential project buyer personas.
2021 – Holding Formation with New Investors
A $5 million capital injection enabled the formation of a senior leadership team. This marked a new phase focused on land assembly, regulatory approvals, and shovel-ready project preparation for large-scale development.
2024 – First Residential Project Success
The inaugural residential phase of Nomad City reached 100% sales (100 units) within nine months. The Flat House concept achieved strong product-market fit. Construction began in 2024, with first residents expected to move in during Q1 2026.
2025 – Securing the Future of the whole Samaná
The acquisition of 300 hectares (740 acres) of ocean-view land was finalized, securing expansion ground for Nomad City. An additional option to acquire 1,000 hectares (2,470 acres) ensures flexibility for future development in Samaná.
