About Nosara

Nosara Property: 20 years experience in the south Guanacaste region.

We truly believe that Costa Rica’s best real estate opportunities are found in Nosara, an unique piece of paradise located just 100 miles from San José. In the 1970s a community of foreigners was established in the area and they made reforestation a priority. The Beaches of Nosara is an international community on 3000 acres of protected land and began over 20 years ago. The beautiful beaches and great waves of the area are untouched and well known by surfers from all around the world. The master plan was made ecological by providing for many parks and green areas among the subdivided home sites and farms. The full titled sites range from ¼ acre to 20 acres and over 300 private homes have already been built.

Today, Nosara is one of the green zones of greatest beauty in all of Costa Rica. Thick rich forest grows in areas that were once razed for the benefit of cattle. Nosara's "Proyecto Americano" or American Project, which includes lots in the northern end of Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada and some of the surrounding hills, is a wonderful example of responsible planning and development. A large number of homes exist in the area yet the first time visitor can still feel total isolation and surround himself with nothing but a pristine tropical environment.

This permanent Green Zone consists of 22 separate plots of land totaling 77 hectares or about 170 acres disbursed through the Project. That plots of land are officially protected and under the guardianship of the Nosara Civic Association.

Nosara serves as a perfect example of planned growth that is the model for development in other areas of Costa Rica. The civic association was established to jealously guard the interests of the people in the zone as well as the environment. As a result Nosara enjoys the cleanest water table in Costa Rica, clean ocean water with no dumping of gray or black water into the streams or beaches (sad to say only a few parts of Costa Rica can boast this claim), regularly scheduled trash collection, and excellent health and educational services for the townspeople, as well as for foreigners.

The village of Nosara is about 5 kilometers inland and has two general stores, building supplies, international schools, church, airport, rural guard, post office and miscellaneous shops. SANSA and NATURE AIR offer daily flights 7 days a week into this airport creating a 45 minute commute from San José. With the termination of the Taiwanese bridge by mid year, the drive from San José will be cut to approximately 4 hours on good roads. The international airport of Liberia is only a 2 hours drive with regular flights from the USA and Latin America.

Obviously the exodus of surfers has brought this destination to its up and coming status, however, nearby activities include outstanding sport-fishing, nearby turtle nesting ground at Ostional, hiking, horseback riding, canopy trip and much more.
