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.

Join us at Alegría Village for an evening farm-to-table dinner in our new mandala garden! We will hike through the hillside of our eco-neighborhood down to our farm, where we will enjoy an organic gourmet meal prepared fresh from food grown in the garden all around us. Experience a simpler, healthier lifestyle surrounded by community. Alegría Village is a new residential neighborhood in the hills of San Mateo, Costa Rica, built on the principles of regenerative design. How can we better care for our people - our children, our families, our elders - while caring for the Earth that supports us? How can we source what we need - clean water, food, energy, building materials, medicine - from the land where we live? Together we get to co-create the future we want to live in.
