Designing a Regenerative Future
Alegría Village is a new ecological neighborhood in the hills of San Mateo, Costa Rica.



Grow Your Own Food
We all share an organic permaculture farm in the center of our community.
Our food comes from the land where we live.

Drink from the Land
Alegría is next to the crystal clear Rio Machuca.
Our water comes from natural springs on the property and an abundant underground river.

Nurture a Love of Learning
We are dedicated to hands-on, holistic education for our children.
We support an incredible international school right down the road.

Protect Our Ecosystem
As we build our community, Alegría is reforesting our 70-hectare property, protecting our natural environment, waterways, and wildlife habitats.


Live in Joy Now
Together let’s slow down, savor the present, and enjoy the richness and quality of being alive.

See what we’ve accomplished this year.











Alegría Village is a new residential neighborhood in the hills of San Mateo, Costa Rica, dedicated to best practices in regenerative living and design. Nestled on 170 acres of fertile farmland, Alegría will include extensive permaculture food forests with thousands of fruit trees, edible community gardens, and reforestation along the creeks.
We are designing an integrated community that nurtures our children, our elders, and our Earth.
