Rare SIBU Refuge Opportunity: Private hilltop Oasis

Introducing a charming, freshly-painted, move-in-ready home surrounded by acres of conservation land. Live lightly in a house with a small ecological footprint, or use it as a base to build additional living spaces, gardens, and a pool.

Unobstructed vistas include sunrise over Zaragoza mountain and sunset over the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge.

The 50-acre reserve includes the five-acre Sibu Wildlife Sanctuary, approximately 22 acres of green space, and only eight house lots. Spacious lots surrounded by conserved land provide exceptional privacy. It feels far from the bustling beach areas, yet grocery and hardware stores, the gas station, and other shops are less than 10 minutes away. The Pelada beach front is less than a 15-minute drive.

Live your conservation values:
Sibu was created to protect, enhance and preserve the forest canopy and provide howler monkeys and other native wildlife the habitat they need to thrive. All electric cables are buried underground. The reserve is reminiscent of old Nosara–a low-density development that supports biodiversity within expansive natural areas. It’s the ideal location for nature-lovers who value – and want to contribute to – healthy ecosystems and for those who understand the importance of minimizing noise and light pollution.

Features:
A thoughtfully-designed home with views from every door and window. There is a slender ocean view from the second floor.
Covered and open-to-the sky terraces and balconies.
Two full bathrooms, one on each floor. Second floor shower is on the terrace.
Carport with an attached storage area.
Laundry area with stacked washer/dryer and storage.
Energy-efficient Mitsubishi air conditioners.
A gray-water system that channels water from showers, washing machine, and bathroom sinks to irrigate the front garden.
Fully fenced and gated front yard.
Howler monkeys play, feed, and nap in the towering cortez amarillo and giant balsa in front of the house.
Young mango, guava, water apple, loquat, capulin and other other fruit and seed-bearing trees have been planted and nurtured with a drip irrigation system.
There are multiple options on top of the lot and the hillsides for adding additional family living spaces and/or a pool.
A steady and reliable water supply is provided by the Santa Marta ASADA, and the home has three water storage tanks.
Highlights

Conservation Commitment: Residents of the Sibu refuge collectively agree to preserve its special attributes and provide for the safety and comfort of both wildlife and residents by not subdividing lots, by keeping noise and light pollution to a minimum, and by keeping dogs inside of fenced areas and only leash-walking them within the property.
