Beyond the Build: How Las Cuevas Supports Its Community

At Las Cuevas, we believe growth should go hand-in-hand with giving back. Our vision for Cabrera has always been about more than developing homes — it’s about nurturing a community where people, nature, and progress thrive together.

From the beginning, Las Cuevas was designed to be part of the fabric of Cabrera — not apart from it.
Justin and the entire Las Cuevas team live here, work here, and care deeply about helping the town grow in a healthy, sustainable, and inclusive way.

We believe Cabrera shouldn’t just be known as just a gem for visitors, but as a flourishing, supported community where local families and businesses can flourish right alongside those discovering it.

When Cabrera Needs a Hand, Las Cuevas Shows Up

Supporting Safety & Local Heroes

When Cabrera’s fire department needed help, Las Cuevas stepped in. Partner and fire chief Chad has been sourcing and starting to ship firefighting equipment from the U.S. to ensure local crews have the tools they need to protect the community safely and effectively. Additionally, plans are being made to help with training local firefighter volunteers.

It’s just one example of how this project extends far beyond its own property lines.

Caring for Cabrera’s Animals

Las Cuevas founder Justin also donates his time and truck to PAC (Protección Animal Cabrera) — a grassroots animal protection group. From rescuing and transporting animals to supporting local care initiatives, the team regularly joins PAC in its mission to make Cabrera a more compassionate place for all living creatures.

Keeping Cabrera Clean

Environmental care is at the heart of Las Cuevas. The team has joined forces with the Mayor’s office, De Norte a Norte, and DO Sostenible for major cleanup and education efforts across Cabrera — from riverbanks to neighborhood waste.

These initiatives help restore natural spaces while supporting new recycling programs that will keep the town clean and healthy for years to come.

Supporting Education

When a local school needed help with repairs and cleanup, Las Cuevas was there too — providing hands-on support to revitalize learning spaces for Cabrera’s children. For the team, education is a cornerstone of sustainable community growth, and helping local students thrive is a direct investment in Cabrera’s future.

A Community Built on Care

Whether it’s donating time, tools, or resources, Las Cuevas remains committed to being a positive and present force in Cabrera.
If there’s a need in town, Las Cuevas is there — listening, contributing, and collaborating with those who call this place home.

Las Cuevas isn’t a hidden development on a hill — it’s a community being built by people who genuinely care about this part of the island.
Together, we’re not just building homes — we’re helping build a brighter, stronger Cabrera.
