This thoughtfully designed home, completed in 2024, sits tucked into the peaceful and green neighborhood of La Unión — just five minutes from the vibrant town of Uvita and seven minutes from the shores of Marino Ballena National Park and the iconic Whale Tail beach. Located at the end of a quiet dead-end road, it offers privacy, comfort, and the kind of natural flow that makes tropical living feel effortless.
The property spans 1,472 m² (approximately 0.36 acres or 15,844 ft²), fully fenced and landscaped, with open mountain views from the main living areas, pool, and master suite. You can also enjoy a glimpse of the Whale Tail from the kitchen window and the pool deck — a subtle but special reminder that you're just minutes from the coast.
Designed with practical elegance, the home is built with solid concrete block and 3-inch insulation, allowing it to stay cool throughout the day. Large windows and ceiling-height openings allow for generous natural light, and excellent airflow moves through the house, thanks to its elevated position near a small river that helps carry fresh mountain breezes throughout the property. The original design included louver-style clerestory windows (now fixed but still functional for light), creating a clean, well-lit interior. Every room includes mosquito screens and air conditioning, though the natural ventilation makes A/C optional for much of the year.
At the entrance, a custom pivot door welcomes you with understated elegance — larger than a standard door and designed to open fluidly on a central hinge, it offers a modern and refined first impression.
Step outside, and the lifestyle flows naturally. The pool is finished with natural-toned tiles in shades of blue and stone, creating a shimmering effect that makes the water appear turquoise — a beautiful contrast against the surrounding green views. It features multi-color lighting, a heated water system, bar stools, and a wet bar with built-in grill. A custom-built cenizaro wood dining table comfortably seats eight in the covered outdoor space, perfect for gathering and entertaining.
The master bedroom and living room both open directly to the pool. Just outside, four floating concrete steps connect the front patio of the master suite to the living room patio and BBQ area — forming a small bridge that crosses over a shallow end of the pool. This clever architectural detail gives the impression that the pool partially enters the home, and also creates a safe shallow section that could be ideal as a children’s splash area.
Inside, the home is fully furnished and ready to move in. It features custom cabinetry made from locally sourced cedar, teak, and cenizaro woods, and a large kitchen island (11 feet long) with quartz countertops, high-end appliances, and storage. There are two king-sized bedrooms, a sleep sofa in the living room, two bathrooms, and a dedicated laundry area with washer and dryer. Every detail — from the electric blinds and smart door lock to the amplified ceiling audio system and porcelain wood-look tiles — speaks to quality and ease of maintenance.
Down the property’s private lower road are two additional flat building pads, each offering their own space and privacy. The owners have already drafted plans for a two-bedroom home with mountain views on the lower level, making this a strong opportunity for those interested in developing a rental unit or guest home.
Included in the sale is a well-maintained 2012 turbo-diesel Nissan Pathfinder — a perfect match for the terrain and lifestyle in Costa Rica’s Southern Zone.
