This beautiful slice of paradise offers you almost everything you need. The property has an ideal location within 5 minutes to the beach, a successful vacation rental for providing consistent income, sunsets over the ocean and gently sloping land allowing room to grow!

Located within 5 minutes of being on the sand at Playa Hermosa, this property has the perfect location. With easy access to downtown Uvita, close access to Playa Dominical and Dominicalito, there are many more beaches, restaurants, and supermarkets seemingly at your fingertips. For surfers or anyone who loves the beach, a quick 2×4 access road brings you from the property down to one of the most beautiful beaches in our region. Playa Hermosa is a great beach for families and for surfers. The sandy beach stretches down the coastline offering several kilometers of mostly empty beach perfect for recreation or just relaxing in the soft sand. At the lower boundary line of the property is a creek that has flowing water all year long. At the creek is where the thick, lush jungle starts and grows uninterruptedly through the valley fronting the main house. The property line stops at the creek but the thick jungle beyond is not developable. This area brings a wide variety of wildlife to the property with daily visits from monkeys, toucans, parrots and many other jungle critters. Throughout the lot are a variety of tropical flowers and fruit trees that help paint the landscape in vibrant colors. The gently rolling land and open spaces also allow room to expand your gardens or add another structure.

There are two structures currently on the property, the owners home and a guest house that is used as a vacation rental. Both homes are built on stilts over 12 feet in the air. Building off the ground allows for more airflow inside the house, less bugs, and elevated views of the ocean and surrounding jungle. Both homes are facing due west taking advantage of the sunsets over the ocean. The main home consists of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large kitchen and an extra-large wrap around covered deck. The high vaulted ceilings are designed to increase your airflow allowing for comfortable living without the use of air conditioning. On the ground level of the home is a utility room that doubles as exercise space and is also perfect for storing surfboards, tools and other recreational equipment. This covered area has parking for two cars.

The second structure on the property very much resembles the main home but is used primarily as a vacation rental. This popular vacation rental provides consistent income. This house is also elevated off the ground and offers one large bedroom, kitchen, living room, bathroom and another extra large wrap-around covered deck. With the open spaces and the year round sunset views, this is no wonder why this is a popular vacation rental.

The lot size of over one acre is almost all usable. The two homes are separated by a great distance providing plenty of privacy. There is also room to grow here and areas for another structure and more gardens.

Weather you are looking for a family compound, a home with a popular vacation rental providing secondary income, or a personal refuge in the heart of the Costa Ballena, this property has something for everyone.
