Join us in building a unique place for mindful living in Nosara, Costa Rica.
Guided by love, passion, and a spirit of joyful living, El Bosque is a master planned residential neighborhood created by the founders of the Harmony Hotel.
Set inside a 37-acre tree-filled sanctuary a short walk from the beach, El Bosque presents the rare opportunity to live within the quiet beauty of the forest, while still enjoying easy access to the vibrant community and conveniences of Playa Guiones.
The neighborhood is already taking shape. Infrastructure is complete, the first two homes are completed, and construction is underway or soon beginning on nine more. Homesites are available to purchase now, with turnkey designs ready to build — or bring your own architect and design your custom home from the ground up.
Our knowledgeable local team is here to provide you with all the information and support you need. Get in touch to learn more about the project and to schedule a tour.
What makes life in El Bosque so special?
Connection with Nature
We designed our eco community to preserve the natural sanctuary of the property: our conservation management plan has the simple objective of promoting biodiversity in El Bosque and beyond. Only 30% of the entire site will be built upon, and the rest will remain undeveloped land that all residents, including our animal friends, can easily access and enjoy freely. Our network of trails throughout the property makes it easy to move safely about the site and connect deeply with the natural life around us.
Shared Amenities
While homes in El Bosque are intended as a place for retreat and contemplation, our amenities provide gathering spaces for shared experience. This is a community where you’ll definitely want to meet your neighbors.
Set near the center of the neighborhood, El Bosque’s Community Hub will offer a family pool as well as gathering places for kids and adults to socialize, play games, and experience nature together. At golden hour, residents can gather on Sunset Ridge to watch the sun go down over the Pacific.
Easy Beach Access
Our Baker’s Beach Station makes it easy to enjoy the sand and waves of Playa Guiones with the kids, or take a surf or walk on your own. A relaxed 10 minute walk from our beachside gate, this private community amenity will offer residents a convenient place to park EVs, hydrate, grab surfboards, and get in the water.
Walkability
El Bosque is designed as a car-free community. Fossil fuel vehicles will be parked at the entrance of the property, and only EVs and bikes will be used on the internal roads. The happy result is that residents (humans and animals) will enjoy a quiet and safe walking environment through the majestic, native palms and mature trees that define the landscape.
Smart Infrastructure
We have designed the “nuts and bolts” of the community to blend in and harmonize with the natural ecosystem, while ensuring that residents have all they need for reliability and convenience. Utilities like electricity and network cables are buried to shelter them from the elements, and to protect wildlife throughout the site. Drinking water is sourced from our own well, and stormwater is managed by beautifully constructed swales, which mitigate runoff and give rainwater the chance to slow down and soak into the ground before reaching the sea.
Support & Security
On-site staff will be available to support El Bosque residents with essential services like internal transportation, deliveries, and maintenance of shared spaces. With our years of experience operating the Harmony Hotel, we have extensive knowledge of how to get things done in Nosara.
Safety is one of our top priorities, and we understand the challenge of feeling connected, but also secure. We will have a dedicated team of welcoming rangers with extensive knowledge of our community at each entrance, and traditional security services will also be present during overnight hours.
Community Stability
El Bosque’s core values of beauty, community and conservation are protected through our official regulations and governance. A homeowners association manages comprehensive design and lifestyle guidelines to ensure that the peaceful character and quality of life in El Bosque is carefully maintained.
As a condominium community, we have implemented carefully planned zoning to protect our property from issues like unplanned subdivision, or the unpredictable noise and disruption of commercial development.
