Numu on the Monkey Trail | 46.5-Acre Development Site Near Flamingo, Costa Rica

Where the sun goes home to Flamingo.

Overview

Numu is the Chorotega word for sun, and from this ridge you watch it set over Flamingo Bay every evening.

Numu on the Monkey Trail is 46.5 acres (18.8 hectares) of high ground, hidden valleys and native dry forest at the top of the mountain between Matapalo and Potrero. It is the only development site in this stretch. It's an area of its own: a ridge that catches the sunset, and valleys where howler monkeys wake you before the sun does.

This land is for people who would rather be close to the animals than to the crowds. Potrero is five minutes away and Flamingo Marina fifteen, so the beaches, the marina and the restaurants are all within reach.

Designed to stay wild

Numu is best suited to a light footprint: low-density building sites on the ridge, with the valleys and native forest preserved as living green space. The wildlife corridor, the birdsong and the quiet are what buyers are paying for, so they're what a smart developer protects.
