The largest and gentlest homesite in Phase 1B.

Homesite 28 is both the largest and the gentlest homesite in this part of the neighborhood, offering 1,645 m² of easier terrain as the Phase 1B road curves toward its end. Its diverse collection of protected trees includes a Cortez Amarillo at the entrance, spectacular in bloom, along with Poro, Laurel, a magnificent Guanacaste toward the rear, Poro Poro, Almendro de Montaña and Guácimo, creating a richly layered equatorial landscape with beautiful seasonal variation.

Morning light approaches from the eastern side toward Los Nidos, while afternoon and evening light arrives from the west toward the art installation and Homesite 29. Bordering the lower area of Los Nidos and positioned near the planned art installation, Homesite 28 combines space, mature vegetation, gentler topography, shade, and a distinctive sense of place.

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: 7–19.2 m
Right side: 4.0 m
Left side: 4–19.4 m
Rear: 15.3–37 m
Building use: Single-family residence
Max house-size-to-lot ratio: 33.4%

How the envelope works

• Maximum building height of 7.0 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 28 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.

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.
