Meet the owners and heart behind Tierra Encantada
A few years ago, Daniel and Anne, husband and wife, stumbled upon this enchanting land following a transformative plant medicine retreat. The beginning of a remarkable journey was sparked following a serendipitous encounter with a medicine woman in Nosara who introduced them to the previous owner of the land. Captivated by the wild raw beauty of the property and its secluded setting, offering a perfect blend of tranquility and closeness to the pristine beaches of Nosara, they instantly felt like they had found their home away from home.
Driven by their deep love for nature and their shared dream of creating a harmonious sanctuary where natural living and Pacha Mama could coexist, Dan’s lifelong experience in the construction industry and Anne’s 30+ years in the world of healing and holistic health intertwined beautifully. Collaborating on every aspect of the endeavor, they poured their hearts into designing and constructing this oasis, infusing it with their shared passion and respective expertise.
Mindful of the delicate ecosystem surrounding them and committed to preserving its natural beauty, they approached the development process with a steadfast dedication to sustainability. Every choice in architecture and construction was made with the environment in mind, ensuring that their creation became a cozy and eco-friendly home where nature and comfort blend seamlessly.
The Birth of
Tierra Encantada
Over the course of four years, we built Tierra Encantada from conception to its most current state of completion “this is a multidimensional dream that is constantly evolving”. We built infrastructure, water systems and installed eco septic solutions such as Bio Nest. Every detail from the stones lining the paths, to the retainer walls were consciously brought to fruition. Our property features 9 casitas, 3 glamping platforms with tents, a Yoga Shala, a kitchen/restaurant and a 1400 ft2 spa facility, all of which were built prioritizing eco-friendly building practices such as hempcrete and reclaimed wood. We installed solar systems on the main house and the spa.
Land preservation and harmonizing with the lands contour was a priority when building Tierra Encantada. In the instances where tree removal was necessary, we prioritized saving mature trees and planted over 1000 native trees (some fruit bearing) in an effort of reforestation. With the help and counsel of our resident permaculture expert, Osiris, we designed Biodynamic gardens and greenhouses that follow sustainable cultivation practices.
