What we do

Finca Las Brisas is over 150 acres of unspoiled forest and pasture. Previously a combination of grazing land and dry forest, the finca is presently being transformed into a self-sustaining oasis where the best interests of the environment and our surrounding neighbors come first. Two year round rivers – Rio Frio and Rio Naranjalito flow through the property and feeder streams follow the paths of ancient lava flows; forming picturesque waterfalls and authentic “swimming holes.” Ranging from 750 feet to 1,300 feet above sea level, the farm offers refreshing breezes and spectacular ocean and mountain views. The plentiful “quebradas” (springs) provide fresh, unspoiled water, and the hundreds of fruit trees, coffee groves, and vegetable patches that have been planted are now beginning to produce.
The self-sustaining community is comprised of 24 lots (approximately half of which are still available). There are numerous facilities and site enhancements being constructed for all lot owners to utilize, including a community center complete with infinity pool and commercial kitchen, guest lodging, miles of hiking trails, and off-grid renewable energy systems, plant-based waste management, and a pure water supply.
Currently the lot ownership at Finca Las Brisas is comprised of family, friends and other like-minded parties that share a common interest in developing a sustainable community that makes a positive contribution to surrounding local residents and the environment. We have no guiding social, political, or spiritual philosophy driving the development of the community, other than the desire to do it the right way – utilizing local workers, building materials, food, and energy.
Lot prices range between 105k – 129k and are typically 1.25 acres in size. Some have ocean views, all have stunning mountain and valley views.
If being a part of our unique adventure is of interest, and you would like to stop up for a visit during your stay in the Samara area, please contact us, as we would be happy to show you around…

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
