Numandi Residences – Modern Gated Community in Playa Avellanas Focused on Nature and New Construction
Numandi Residences is a new master-planned residential community located in Playa Avellanas, Guanacaste, just a few minutes from the beach and within easy driving distance of Tamarindo and Hacienda Pinilla. The project was designed by Gensler, one of the largest architecture firms in the world, and developed by a local group with decades of experience building in Guanacaste. The concept behind the community is to create a modern neighborhood with reliable infrastructure while preserving as much of the natural environment as possible.
The development sits on a large forested property where roughly 80% of the land will remain as green space, allowing the community to keep a low-density feel. Instead of clearing the land, the master plan was designed around the existing terrain and vegetation. In many areas mature trees were intentionally left in place, and the positioning of the homes and roads was adjusted to avoid cutting them whenever possible. This gives the neighborhood a more natural and established look compared to many newer developments.
Homes and Community Layout
Numandi will include approximately 80 single-level homes built in phases, with 3, 4, and 5 bedroom floor plans designed for indoor-outdoor living. The homes follow the contours of the land to allow for better airflow, privacy, and views while keeping the footprint of each residence efficient.
All homes are designed with large covered terraces, open living areas, and private pools, with construction focused on natural ventilation, energy efficiency, and materials suited for the tropical climate. Rainwater collection systems and modern wastewater treatment are part of the infrastructure, helping reduce long-term impact on the land. The overall design of the community is intended to feel residential rather than resort-style, making it attractive for both full-time living and second homes.
Amenities and Community Features
Numandi was planned as a full residential community with shared amenities built into the project. The goal is to provide enough services for daily living while keeping the development quiet and low density.
The community includes a central pool area, fitness center, tennis and padel courts, a small soccer field, coworking space, and walking trails throughout the preserved forest. Social areas, ranchos, and outdoor gathering spaces are planned to give residents places to meet without making the project feel crowded. The infrastructure also includes a modern wastewater treatment system and water reuse for landscaping, along with wildlife corridors and protected green areas throughout the property.
Future plans include a small commercial village with shops and dining intended to serve the neighborhood and surrounding area.
Location Near Playa Avellanas
Numandi is located about 2 kilometers from Playa Avellanas, one of the best-known surf beaches in Guanacaste, and a short drive from Hacienda Pinilla, Tamarindo, Playa Grande, and several international schools and medical services. The Avellanas area has become more popular in recent years as buyers look for locations close to the beach but outside the busier parts of Tamarindo.
Because the area is still developing and land is limited, newer communities with infrastructure and planning like Numandi have seen increasing demand. Buyers looking for newer construction and gated security often focus on this part of the coast because of the long-term growth potential.
New Development with Long-Term Upside
Numandi is one of the few new gated communities currently being built in the Avellanas area, and the ability to buy during pre-construction has made it attractive to both investors and full-time residents. The combination of modern design, preserved forest, and careful planning around existing trees gives the project a different feel than many older developments in Guanacaste.
With its location close to the beach, limited number of homes, and focus on sustainability, the community is positioned for long-term growth as the Avellanas area continues to develop.If you are considering buying or investing in Numandi, Playa Avellanas, or the surrounding area, contact Josh Roistacher for current pricing, floor plans, and available homes in the development.
