SHIFT LIVING

Shift Esperanza is a regenerative community real-estate development in Nosara, Costa Rica that is naturally secluded on a 108-acre (43-hectare) restored cattle farm. With approximately 120 full- and part-time residences, the best parts of the land are dedicated to shared amenities and a public commercial amenity area. Shift is a mixed-use wellness community with a regenerative agroforestry farm that supplies organic food to residents while restoring native species. 75% of the land is reserved for preservation that has already begun. Guided by our permaculture experts, we have already planted more than 800 native trees and 150 bamboo plants, established an active nursery, and launched our new regenerative farming operation, Finca La Siembra. Coupled with sustainable building and operating practices, residents will live in and support a carbon-negative existence to create a better way of living that honors the planet and to support and care for each other in the spirit of community, shared experience, and social cohesion.
