Beautiful Costa Rica Real Estate at Finca Las Brisas Costa Rica. Finca Las Brisas in the Guanacaste / Samara and Costa Rica real estate located in the Guanacaste located above the Pacific OceanNosara regions of Costa Rica, is our alternative to consumer - oriented vacationing and we see it as an opportunity for life enrichment and adventure.

Overview of this Costa Rica Real Estate Community

 

Finca Las Brisas is over 150 acres of unspoiled forest and pasture. (Plans to increase the property to 250 acres in the near future.) Presently a combination of grazing land for brahma cattle, and dry forest, the land has been gently cared for by the Modesto family for the last 40 years.

A year round river – Rio Frio (“Cold River”) flows through the property and feeder streams follow the path of an ancient lava flow; forming picturesque waterfalls and authentic “swimming holes.” Ranging from 750 feet to 1,300 feet above sea level, the farm offers cool breezes and spectacular ocean and mountain views. The plentiful “quebradas” or springs provide fresh, unspoiled water.

We’ll join an abundant wildlife community – Howler Monkeys visit you over your locally grown morning coffee. Sloths, parrots, armadillos, deer, coyotes, coatimundis, variegated squirrels, raccoons, wild cats, anteaters, river otters, iguanas, butterflies, numerous birds, and many other creatures will be respected as we politely become their neighbors.

 

 

We’ll add our own collection of creatures – horses, goats, sheep, and the occasional visiting dog from home (they are welcomed easily into the country, even for short visits).

The fauna is plentiful – oil palms (a possible renewable energy resource for bio-diesel), mango trees, water apples, guanavanos, matapalos, guanacastes, gourd trees, and numerous other exotic trees take up residence at the farm.

We envision farming the land organically - for our community and potentially to supply nearby world famous yoga/meditation retreats and restaurants (one is already all organic) with much needed fresh produce.

Our own yoga and massage center will be located above the falls.

An extensive re-forestation project will also take place on the land areas at the higher elevations currently being grazed by cattle.

 
Real Estate Location

 

Pick up a rental from Hertz or National, turn right out of the Liberia airport and drive 90 minutes south and through the town of Nicoya to arrive at the Finca Las Brisas. Another 20 minutes south on the same road puts you on some of the best beaches in Costa Rica.

 

Liberia is the capital of Guanacaste province an often called the White City in reference to all of the white houses. The region close to the Liberia has been designated by the government as a preferential tourism development area. In order to facilitate access, the Liberia airport was upgraded and extended to be the second international airport after San Jose.

 

Continental (Houston), American (Miami), US Airways (Charlotte) and Delta (Atlanta) offer non-stop flights to the Liberia airport. It is a 2 hour drive from the Liberia airport and 5 hour drive from San Jose to Finca Las Brisas.

Real Estate Concept

 

Finca Las Brisas is part of a three phase

project that includes:

Phase I – Pre-Development

Phase II – Our Growing Community

Phase III – Giving Back & Enhancing the Experience

We anticipate offering less than 25 lots on this part of the finca and expect to commit up to 50% of the land to being never developed.

 

 

Finca Las Brisas Costa Rica

Currently a limited number of ocean view lots are available at pre-construction prices.

 

30% of the lots have been sold.

Rio Frio and Other Streams on Finca Las Brisas During Dry and Wet Seasons

The Rio Frio was really one of the primary reasons we selected this property. The river pretty much divides the property in half. The current (south) side we are developing is accessible by a 5 kilometer gravel road from a paved road running directly south from Nicoya to the beach in Sarmara.

The other side is accessible by a dry season road from Nosara. This area of the property which is closer to the river and ranch area will be developed in a later phase.

(Note: we have not even begun to explore along the Rio Frio and other streams as they cross the property)

Area Beaches and Locations

Over one third of all National Parks and wildlife reserves existing in Costa Rica are in Guanacaste province, including turtle nesting sites, refuges for migrating birds, spectacular caves and the largest protected tropical dry forest in the world.

The beaches are amazing.  With the exception of some of the Hawaiian islands, most of us have not seen such a wide variety of beaches within minutes of each other. At one beach there is some of the best surfing in the world, and just down the road the beach could be an ancient lava flow with jagged rocks and tide pools.

Other than the beaches and rivers, there are just a lot of interesting places to explore. The culture is happy and friendly. Trees, plants, and animals are different everywhere you go.

Local Ticos

With the people so friendly and the dogs maybe the most friendly in the world, we are making lots of friends. The roads are open to everyone and it seems that around each bend in the road you are likely to meet someone new.
