Elevated center island with 360-degree view potential.

Homesite 21 is part of the elevated center island of the neighborhood, offering the potential for 360-degree views across the surrounding jungle. Its west-facing orientation provides sunset views, while soft morning light enters from the east. The lot's gentle slope rises toward the back, creating an ideal layout for construction and maximizing the view potential.

Located near the La Colmena Amenity Hub, the site offers convenient access to shared spaces while maintaining a sense of privacy. A protected Guacimo tree adds natural shade and enhances the landscape with mature character.

The Alba Nueva home design is well-suited to this lot. With its emphasis on organic forms and functional flow, it provides a calm living environment that integrates with the natural contours and vegetation of the land.

Zoning Envelope

Built to the contours of the land, not over them.

The zoning envelope preserves the unique features of the site — its topography, its trees, its sightlines. Height restrictions prevent obstructions that would impede desirable views, and each house footprint respects the view corridors between building envelopes, so every home looks out onto open landscape.

Required setbacks

Front yard: 5.0 m
Right side: 4.0–6.25 m
Left side: 5.0 m
Rear: 5.4–7 m
Building use: Single-family residence
Max house-size-to-lot ratio: 62.9%

How the envelope works

• Maximum building height of 10.5 m measured from street level.
• An uncovered rooftop level is permitted.
• Two covered parking spaces within the house design.
• Permeable pathways to the entrance and parking are allowed outside the envelope.
• Permeable car paths may not exceed one third of the lot's longest axis.
• The allowable building area is unique to this lot, planned to protect neighborhood view corridors and integrate construction with the site's topography and landscape.

The Shift Esperanza masterplan across 108 acres in Nosara

The Masterplan

A homesite within a larger whole.

Homesite 21 sits inside Shift Esperanza, a 108-acre masterplan in Nosara shaped around protected trees, view corridors, water, and walkability. Neighborhoods are kept intimate and placed lightly on the land, with green zones, trails, and shared spaces woven between them rather than added on afterward.

From this lot, the walk connects you to La Colmena, the wellness and dining amenities, the pools, and Finca La Esperanza, the regenerative farm at the center of the community. The result is a home that stays private, held within a landscape and a daily rhythm designed for the long view.

Terms

How the guidelines work.

Shift's Holistic Neighborhood Plan: Each Shift lot has its own individual guidelines. Our planning takes into consideration the unique views, height, privacy, and holistic design of each lot to ensure a harmonious integration with the surrounding environment — maximizing the views and experience for all homeowners rather than creating competition between them.
Max House Lot Coverage %: The maximum allowed percentage of construction permitted on a lot. Max House Lot Coverage % × Lot Size m² = Max House Footprint m².
Max House Footprint: The maximum amount of land on a property that can be used for construction — the space where a house, structures, or other buildings can be built. The remaining area is preserved for landscaping, green areas, and conservation.
Max House Height: The maximum height measured from the lot boundary on the street to the highest point on the house.
House Location: Each lot has a designated allowable building area that has been thoughtfully and intentionally planned.
