Our vision
A different kind of community.
We envision a place where life moves at a slower pace, where people feel connected to nature, to the land, and to one another. Rancho Santa Fe is being created with the belief that responsible development and a meaningful lifestyle can coexist.
Children explore nature, neighbours know each other by name, and produce is grown close to home.

Why Rancho Santa Fe
Ride in the morning. Surf in the afternoon.
Rancho Santa Fe is designed for people who value nature, wellness, responsible development and a connection to the land.
Nature lovers
Tropical dry forest, howler monkeys in the canopy and open green space held in common. The ridgelines stay wooded and the forest stays between the homesites.
Future homeowners
Large, titled lots with no deadline to build. Take the time to design the house you want, on ground you have already walked.
Sustainable living
Community gardens, a greenhouse and orchards, planned so that growing part of what you eat is a short walk rather than a second job.
Outdoor lifestyle seekers
Miles of walking and biking trails, a ranch area with horses, and riding straight out of your own gate into the hills.
Beach lovers
Playa Penca and Potrero are six minutes away, with Las Catalinas, Flamingo and the rest of the Gold Coast just beyond.
Long-term investors
Land in a strategic location at pre-development pricing, as Potrero and Flamingo continue to grow around it.
Food, grown here
Community gardens, greenhouse and orchards.
Shared edible gardens and greenhouse space are planned across the community, so farm-to-table living is a short walk rather than a second job.

The ranch
Horses, and the reason this is called a ranch.
A dedicated ranch area with horses gives residents riding and trail access on their own land — the part of Guanacaste's heritage most beach developments left behind.

Lots & pricing
Every available lot, with the price on the page.
Homesites are released in phases as roads and utilities reach them. Each parcel is titled, registered, and offered at pre-development pricing — sizes and prices published openly, no enquiry required.
Homesites run from 3,783 to 17,448 m² — from about $17 per square metre. That is room for a house, a garden and standing trees, not just a building footprint, six minutes from Playa Penca.

Owners
In their words.
We fell in love with the project the moment we saw it — the concept, the land, and the fact that it sits right in the heart of Guanacaste. Countryside in the morning, the beach in the afternoon, and neighbours who chose this place for the same reasons we did.
Vincent Seguin · Owner
We looked at finished houses on the coast for a year. Buying land here meant we could design around the forest instead of around a floor plan someone else picked.
Marc & Julie Lavoie · Owners
The drive in tells you everything. Hills, dry forest, howler monkeys overhead — and six minutes later you are standing on Playa Penca.
