About this property

The perfect blend of modern design and tropical living at Villa Selva, located in the quiet and charming neighborhood of Chamán—just minutes from town of Bahía and Uvita. From this peaceful retreat, you can walk to the famous Whale Tail Beach in under 5 minutes, right from your doorstep.

Set on a fully gated 860m² lot, this property offers privacy, comfort, and a seamless connection between the beach and the lush rainforest lifestyle that defines Costa Rica’s South Pacific.

This beautifully designed 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features an open-concept layout that flows effortlessly between indoor and outdoor living. The spacious covered terrace, ambient recessed lighting, and large sliding glass doors lead to a pool area surrounded by landscaped garden. There’s also a built-in outdoor BBQ space—perfect for relaxing and creating memories with family and friends.

The villa boasts a generous living and dining area connected to a custom-designed kitchen, complete with quartz countertops, a side-by-side refrigerator, and modern stainless steel appliances. High ceilings, air conditioning, and ceiling fans are present throughout the home for year-round comfort. Behind the kitchen, you’ll find a spacious laundry room and a back door leading to the pool equipment area.

The master bedroom, located on the right side of the home, includes a king-size bed, a full private bathroom, and beautiful views of the garden and pool. On the opposite side of the house, a hallway leads to two guest bedrooms that share a fully tiled bathroom. The third bedroom is nearly the same size as the master and also enjoys views of the pool and gardens.

The 860 m² property is divided into two sections by a concrete walkway, each with its own entrance. The main home features a remote-controlled gate, covered parking for two vehicles, and space for up to four cars. The second half of the lot is a blank canvas—ready for you to develop as you wish, whether it’s a second home, guest casitas, or garden space.

Whether you’re looking for a permanent residence just steps from the beach or a high-yield vacation rental investment—with the potential to expand—Villa Selva is a turnkey opportunity in the heart of Costa Rica’s most desirable coastal region.
