Stupendous Ocean sunset views at Playa Nosara. Formal description: SIBU A model in eco-sensitive / sustainable development SIBU, only 3.5 miles from the northern entrance to Guiones Beach, is a showcase in responsible development. With over 50 acres and only 8 home sites (four already sold), SIBU is more about the environment with the planting of 100’s of trees yearly, a new nursery, composting and recycling. A 330 ft. deep well provides residents with year ‘round water - even through the dry season. SIBU Sanctuary, a division of Nosara Wildlife Rescue, is located within SIBU. The Sanctuary is a step down release facility, reintroducing injured and orphaned animals back into the wild. Located between the Rio Nosara and the Rio Montana, wildlife is abundant. "We've seen anteaters, jaguarundi, coatis, kinkajous, Howlers of course, but even white faced monkeys here. Also, caracaras, parrots, toucanets,spoonbill rosettes, motmots, hawks and other avians are abundant", says Vicki Coan who with her husband Steve, created SIBU over 8 years ago. All utilities (electric, water, telephone and hi-speed Internet) are underground to preserve SIBU'S natural surroundings. "We wanted to keep the property natural with a minimal footprint by man", the Coans said. Vicki was able to work with the adjacent property owner to also install their utilities underground, making the majority of the several hundred acres between the Rio Nosara and Rio Montana one of the largest conservation areas with underground utilities in this area. SIBU lots range from 1.38 acres to almost 13 acres. Most have astounding panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean at Playa Nosara to the west and mountain vistas to the east – all embraced by SIBU’s jungle gardens. By combining several lots, Family Estates with large adjacent acreage for privacy are possible. “IN HOUSE” financing is also available. SIBU'S creators, living “on site” year ‘round, provide SIBU residents with home construction management, property maintenance and vacation rental management. SIBU is conveniently located directly behind Playa Nosara with Playa Guiones a mere 10 minutes to the south. Also within a 10 minute drive is Nosara Center with its grocery stores, hardware stores, restaurants, post office, police station, pharmacy and medical clinics. The newly resurfaced airport with new terminal building accommodating daily flights to San José and Liberia is also less than 10 minutes from SIBU’S gates. SIBU offers the perfect location for those seeking a quiet, tranquil retreat with nature yet easily accessible to the these amenities.
