About this property

At a glance

A 3-bedroom, 3-bath home on 520 m² in Bahia, 50 ft above sea level, with a private pool. Playa Uvita and the Whale’s Tail is 5 minutes away by car, as is Playa Hermosa. Ojochal is 15 minutes away and Dominical 20. It has legal water, grid power and regular-car access, and at $499,000 it’s priced below 1 of the 18 other homes for sale in Bahia.

Imagine hearing the Pacific waves as you are falling asleep – well you won’t have to imagine because this house is only 400m away from the ocean! And better yet, you know the green space behind the property is here to stay since the backyard literally touches the border of the protected Marino Ballena National Park! The wonderful sands & coconut groves, migrating whales, sportfishing, nature excursions, adrenaline activities and relaxation of Marino Ballena & Playa Uvita and Playa Hermosa, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, will be within shouting distance of your beautiful 3-bedroom house.

But let’s not forget the other aspect of the location – easy access to modern world luxuries & essentials. Standing in central Uvita the house is steps away from cafes, restaurants, grocery shops, boutiques, convenience stores, day spas & hairdressers, yoga & pilates studios (plussomuch more)! The Uvita Market is 100m away and the main entrance to the National Park is just 1km distant.

Further afield, specialized services and amenities extend in all directions including medical & dental clinics, legal & real estate offices, building & garden supply warehouses, car mechanics, large supermarkets, and many others that sit along the Costanera highway just over
1 km away from the property.

The house features a large, open-concept kitchen, living & dining area which stretch over the bottom floor, flanked by huge patio doors that open up the entire back wall to natural light and fresh sea breezes. The sizeable, covered patio / BBQ area holds enough space for outside cooking, dining, lounging and entertaining. The sunny splash pool and large grassy backyard blend into the wilderness of Manuel Antonio National Park whose borders lie at the other side of the perimeter fence.

An outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off before and after a dip in the pool. A large bedroom and adjacent bathroom occupy a corner of the bottom floor. Upstairs, a master bedroom with a balcony and ensuite plus another large bedroom complete the setup. A secure electric gate and wrap-around fencing provide peace of mind and security.

The empty lot next door, as seen in the photos, is also for sale – an option is to purchase this house and the lot next door to create a truly magical space – the extra land can be used as a tropical garden, a fruit orchard, re-wilded into a tiny sliver of jungle, or used to construct a guest cabin, home office, yoga or fitness space, large deck & pool, or a second sizeable house.
