Where a Visionary Finds Stillness. 🌿
You know him from Netflix’s Down to Earth. You know him as the pioneer who co-created La Ecovilla and Puntamona. But before he launches into his most ambitious project yet, Eterna.Earth in San Juanillo, just north of Nosara, he retreats here.
We are privileged to list the personal sanctuary of Stephen Brooks. This is the home where the world’s leading voice in permaculture recharges, located in the heart of San Mateo at La Ecovilla, the community he helped build.
The Sanctuary:
Architectural Soul: 315 m² (3,391 sq. ft.) of salvaged hardwoods and traditional bahareque, a home built from the earth, for the earth.
The Land: A private 2,500 m² (0.62 acre) oasis at the end of a cul-de-sac, featuring a rushing creek, a tranquil pond, and a literal food forest.
The Features: 4 bedrooms, solar power, and a detached guest casita for those who come to learn and connect.
The Location and Lifestyle:
Set in the sun-drenched hills of San Mateo, you are less than an hour from the airport and minutes from the beach. It is world-class education at the Real World School, daily harvests from organic community gardens, and a global community living with purpose.
Stephen is onto the next frontier with Eterna, but the magic he built into these walls remains. This is a rare chance to inhabit the foundational home of a legend.
