A Living Canvas: An Artist-Designed Sanctuary Unlike Any Other in Costa Rica
Prepare to be captivated by a property that transcends the definition of a home – a true work of art sculpted by a visionary artist. Unlike anything you’ve encountered in this region of Costa Rica, this exceptional villa is a testament to a lifetime of experience building in harmony with the jungle and tropical environment. Conceived not as a market offering but as a personal sanctuary, every detail reflects the owner’s unique vision and artistic sensibility.
Beyond its aesthetic allure, this two-story residence boasts a solid concrete foundation on the first floor, providing enduring strength, while the lightweight second story offers a distinctive character enhanced by the superficial yet impactful use of wood. This design captures the soul of an authentic wooden house without compromising structural integrity.
The artist’s touch extends to the seamless integration of the home with its lush surroundings. The exterior gently flows inward, creating a series of comfortable and inspiring zones perfectly suited to the tropical climate. The deliberately aged finishes imbue the home with a timeless character, gracefully bypassing the typical wear and tear seen in many regional properties.
Custom-designed doors and windows, recycled hardwood cabinetry, and striking features crafted from old wooden beams and posts add layers of unique charm. Discover imported treasures – doors and furniture from India and Indonesia – alongside high-quality, often imported, fixtures and equipment.
While exuding an old-world village charm, this artistic haven embraces modern living. Enjoy the independence and peace of mind provided by a powerful and advanced solar/battery system and a substantial 60,000-liter rainwater harvesting system – invaluable assets for secluded jungle living.
Nestled discreetly within the verdant landscape, the villa remains remarkably private despite its size, with only the embrace of nature and the distant ocean as your neighbors. Yet, this tranquility is just a 5-minute drive from the vibrant center of Uvita and the iconic whale-tale beaches of Bahia Ballena Marine Park.
The main residence features three bedrooms on the second floor and a hidden passage leading to a professional-grade recording studio – a versatile space ready for its current purpose or a myriad of other possibilities. The main living area is an extraordinary covered outdoor space that defies description – the photos are truly the only way to grasp its magnificence. An incredible pool completes this level of artistry.
Connected by a walkway yet also boasting its own gated entrance, the charming two-story guest house offers a private retreat with one bedroom, one full bathroom, and breathtaking ocean vistas.
The property itself includes a gated entry, a spacious parking area, a covered garage, and ample room for future expansion. With public road frontage, the potential for future development or commercial activities adds another layer of value. Benefit from the security of several independent water sources: a local Asada with an operational meter, as well as an extensive rainwater harvesting system.
This is more than a home; it’s an experience, an immersion in art and nature, a rare gem waiting to be discovered.
