Behind the house, a small terrace offers the perfect place to relax, while tropical plants and lush vegetation provide privacy and create a peaceful atmosphere.

Further into the property, you’ll discover the inviting pool area and a shared rancho-style kitchen space, accompanied by a BBQ setup and a covered rooftop terrace — ideal for yoga, relaxing moments, or simply enjoying the tropical surroundings.

The guest accommodations are divided into two separate units: one offering 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen area; the other designed as a cozy studio with 1 bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Each unit enjoys its own private terrace, offering comfort and privacy for guests or a family.

Good to know

Buying in Costa Rica

Can foreigners own property here?

Yes. Foreign nationals have the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens and can hold titled property in their own name, a company, or a trust - no local partner required.

What are the typical closing costs?

Closing costs are largely set by law and usually total around 3.5-4% of the price, covering transfer tax, stamps and notary fees, plus legal due-diligence.

How does the buying process work?

Usually 45-90 days: a letter of intent with a deposit in escrow, title due-diligence by your attorney, a purchase agreement, then closing before a notary who registers the transfer.
