a
self-sustaining community overlooking the pacific…
Just twenty-five lots (14 still available) on 150 pristine
acres (over 100 permanently preserved)… Shared community
resources, including community center, infinity pool, miles
of trails, tree houses, and yoga/massage rancho. Two year
round rivers with many falls and authentic swim holes.
Hundreds of fruit trees, bamboo groves, and large vegetable
plots have been planted. Horses, goats, and chickens are
arriving shortly, and an organic farmers market will open
soon.
No social orientations aside from doing right by the land
and the local people. Our self-funded construction begins in
January…Oh and we own the the entire property...We don’t
need a bailout…We have no bank loans...We’re here for the
long haul...Your investment is safe.
Imagine a private
sanctuary – mountain views of the coastline, horses grazing,
kids in hammocks in the
tree house, miles of hiking trails,
waterfalls and swimming holes, and dinner from the organic
farm accompanied by today’s catch.

The vision of this unique community
pictures a place where like-minded people can relax
together, interact with the local community, and enjoy the
natural beauty of an unspoiled and non-commercialized place.
The phrase "Pura Vida" (pure life) is
 a
saying used everywhere in Costa Rica. It summarizes the
philosophy of living peacefully in a calm, unflustered
manner, appreciating a life surrounded by nature and family
and friends.

Finca Las Brisas is over 150 acres of unspoiled forest and
pasture. Previously 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.
Two year round rivers – Rio Frio (“Cold River”) and Rio
Naranjalito (Little Orange) flow through the property and
their riverbeds follow the paths of ancient lava flows;
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. Parrots,
armadillos, coyotes, coatimundis, wild cats, peccories,
river otters, iguanas, butterflies, numerous birds, and many
other creatures will be respected as we politely become
their neighbors.
We’re adding our own collection of creatures – horses,
goats, chickens, and the occasional visiting dog from home
(they are welcomed easily into the country, even for short
visits).

The
flora is plentiful – mango trees, water apples, guanavanos,
matapalos, guanacastes, gourd trees, and numerous other
exotic trees take up residence at the farm. We have also
recently planted over 700 fruit trees and large groves of
giant bamboo (guadua) for use in future construction
projects.
 Wild
oil palms (a renewable energy resource for powering our
recently “veggie oil” converted work truck), mango trees,
water apples, guanavanos, matapalos, guanacastes, gourd
trees, and numerous other exotic trees take up residence at
the farm.
We
are already farming the land organically, growing many
tropical fruits, vegetables, herbs, and coffee for our com munity,
a nearby farmer’s market we are helping to establish, and to
supply area 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 is also taking place on the
land at higher elevations that were previously being grazed
by cattle.
