LAS FLORES REAL ESTATE

Utopia en Las Flores Inspiration

To surfers Las Flores is not so much a place as it is a spiritual experience, an epiphany a comprehension or perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization. To reside in such a place is a paradox. What is real estate? It is an illusion, the idea that we can somehow own and occupy a geometry that is imposed upon a nature which will never acknowledge it unless that tenant is symbiotic with that nature and not in conflict a geometry defined by a fixed set of coordinates while the earth itself hurtles through space at a hundred thousand kilometers per hour on some absurd celestial trajectory and we are all just hanging on for the ride. Yet we can experience these fleeting moments of visceral awareness as a dialogue between ourselves and the natural universe. It is in this junction or nexus that Las Flores exists, yet what we must acknowledge is that there is always an uncertainty or approximation to our existence, a quantum state.

Utopia en Las Flores is a unique community designed for surfers, one where the only alarm clock is the detonation of 6 foot waves and the only commute is to the lineup. Utopia is an existence based on doing what we want— on living in the moment. As surfers we are attuned to the resonant frequencies of surf, sun, moon, stars, the quickening of our blood in the intense cauldron of southern machine swells, salt, sunburn, dehydration, rehydration— the cooling of our bodies from a liter of ice cold water after the morning's surf, a big American breakfast warming our stomachs, the storyline of an idyllic novel that takes us away from it all, a catnap or a deep sleep in a hammock where our dreams are virtually indistinguishable from the reality into which we awaken.
