Sustainable treehouse community in the Costa Rican rainforest

The world’s first planned, modern, sustainable, and truly arboeal treehouse community, Finca Bellavista is a neighborhood nestled in the rainforest canopy featuring a skyline speckled w/ treehouses and is the perfect second home for humans and teddy-bear like creatures alike. Located in the south Pacific coastal region of Costa Rica, the comfy yet rustic private retreat welcomes people to come explore the wonders of rainforest living.

The nearest town is 1.5 miles away and contains a school, a church, a pulperia, a bus stop, a handful of houses, and of course, a soccer field. That’s it.

Though Finca Bellavista is in its infancy as a project, there has been a lot of progress to get the community ‘off the ground’ since 2007. Finca Bellavista’s “base camp” is complete and has a sprawling community complex complete with a large kitchen and dining hall, an open-air lounge and WIFI zone, a rancho, and a bath house. Nearly one-third of the community’s “Sky Trail” transportation network is now up and running, offering stunning canopy and pristine river corridor views. Treehomes are starting to speckle the skyline, and a handful of cabinas and treehouses are ready for rentals and tours. There are quite a few owners in various stages of creating and building treehomes, bringing lots of new energy and excitement to this growing neighborhood, which is truly like no other in the world.

Finca Bellavista, while a one-of-a-kind concept, is also in a one-of-a-kind place. The finca as a whole, comprised of 300+ acres of secondary rainforest and reclaimed pasture, provides a nearly custom-built backdrop to house the world’s first planned, modern, sustainable treehouse community. Perched overlooking the Golfo Dulce and nurtured by two whitewater rivers, the location of this unique enclave is unmatched in its magnificence and pulses with life. While it feels a world away, Finca Bellavista boasts easy access to some of the country’s most stunning natural assets, like National Parks, isolated beaches and epic mountainscapes. Those with a spirit of adventure will feel right at home amongst the outdoor activities available on-site and nearby.

Though we are providing an experience for humans to dwell, interact, and grow within the treetop realm, we remain committed to being stewards of this land and our environment. Everything we do at Finca Bellavista is done with consciousness, caution and care guided by our personal beliefs.
