Welcome to Finca MiraVida
- family community Costa Rica
A place where families come together to create something special —
a connected, supportive neighborhood surrounded by the beauty of the Costa Rican Caribbean. A differerent family community Costa Rica.
Here, everyone owns their own piece of paradise — 1 to 5 hectares of private land, fully legal and registered in their own name — while sharing the vision of living close to nature and raising our children in freedom, safety, and community.
At Finca MiraVida, we believe in balance:
family community and independence, togetherness and privacy, laughter and quiet moments.
Our dream is to build a neighborhood where kids grow up side by side, best friends just around the corner — and where families support each other like an extended family.
It’s a new way of living — grounded, real, and full of life.
The Land
Welcome to 67 hectares of tropical paradise — home to Finca MiraVida, a unique family community in Costa Rica where nature, freedom and family life come together.
Nestled between lush rainforest, crystal-clear rivers and breathtaking Caribbean sea views, MiraVida offers a rare opportunity to create a different way of living.
Located just 10 minutes from the Caribbean beaches and around 20 minutes from Cahuita, the property sits high enough to enjoy refreshing breezes and panoramic views while remaining easily accessible.
What truly sets MiraVida apart from most other developments is the freedom and space we offer.
Here, families can own 1 to 5 hectares of fully titled land in their own name—at prices often far below comparable properties in Costa Rica, where smaller lots and shared developments are far more common.
The land itself is alive with howler monkeys, sloths, toucans and countless tropical birds that call this rainforest home.
A private road leads exclusively to the families who belong here, creating a peaceful environment where children can grow up surrounded by nature and neighbours who share similar values.
Wake up each morning to the sounds of the jungle and the sparkling Caribbean Sea on the horizon—a daily reminder that life can be slower, simpler and more connected.
If you're searching for a family community in Costa Rica where your family can build a home, embrace nature and enjoy true freedom, welcome to Finca MiraVida.
Life at Finca MiraVida
Experience Mira Vida
Something beautiful is taking shape.
At the heart of our family community in Costa Rica, we're creating a shared space where families, nature lovers and like-minded people can come together to relax, connect and experience the rhythm of life in the rainforest.
Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning surrounded by birdsong, unwinding in the jungle sauna, exploring hidden trails or simply sharing meaningful conversations with others, every moment is designed to bring you closer to nature—and to what truly matters.
This isn't just a place to visit.
It's a place to slow down, reconnect and experience the lifestyle that makes Finca MiraVida so unique.
Our Private Jungle Retreat Club is in the making.
In its first phase, we are building:
-
a jungle sauna
-
a shared community space with outdoor kitchen
-
a natural-style pool
-
a playground for children
-
a fishing pond for relaxed afternoons
-
a fire pit & BBQ area
-
jungle trails leading to our waterfall and through the untouched jungle around us
And this is just the beginning.
In the second phase, we are planning:
-
a hanging bridge through the jungle
-
a few carefully integrated jungle rental homes
-
pickleball & badminton courts
-
a skate park
-
and farm-to-table food experiences
-
and much more
This space will grow organically — together with the people who become part of it.
Our neighbors will not just use it —
they will help shape it.
If you feel connected to this vision, we’d love to hear from you.
About us
We’re a family who has been choosing a different path for many years. After leaving Europe, we built a simple, beautiful life in Dahab, Egypt — nine years of sunshine, community, and the quiet rhythm of the desert. It was a place that taught us freedom and simplicity, and we will always be grateful for that chapter of our lives.
But during the pandemic, we realized something important: even in the desert, far away from everything, we were still deeply dependent on systems we didn’t control.
And as the region (and the world) became unstable and war came closer, it became clear that we needed a place where our safety, our children’s future, and our way of life weren’t hanging on things outside our hands.
So we followed our instinct — toward water, nature, stability, and a place where life grows instead of shrinks.
That journey brought us to Costa Rica, to a land full of life, rivers, green jungles, and a feeling of possibility we hadn’t felt in years.
And along that path, one truth became very clear:
It takes a village to raise children — and living far from our own families, we needed to build our own village.
That’s how the idea of a like-minded neighborhood was born.
A place where children grow up together, where parents support each other, where no one feels alone — and where we learn to grow our own food, step by step, reducing our dependence on the toxic “food” sold in supermarkets. We’re not fully there yet, but with a like-minded neighborhood, we truly believe it’s possible.
A place where neighbors become chosen family, where safety comes from connection, and where life is shaped not by fear, but by intention.
Finca MiraVida is our dream — A family community in Costa Rica that begins with private ownership, personal freedom and wonderful neighbours. A neighborhood with heart, surrounded by jungle and ocean, built slowly and lovingly with people who share similar values.
A place to grow roots, to breathe, and to create a life that feels real again.
