Long Description
Set within a private residential subdivision approximately 4.6 kilometers from downtown Puerto Viejo, this recently built one-bedroom home offers a distinctive opportunity for someone looking to establish a personal base in Costa Rica's South Caribbean. Built in 2024 on a generous 1,250 sqm titled lot, the property combines thoughtful tropical design, privacy, and significant room to expand over time. The home has been designed around its relationship with the surrounding garden, with large screened patio doors opening completely toward the private pool and outdoor living spaces. A screened ventilation opening at the upper level of the house encourages natural airflow, while air conditioning in the bedroom provides additional comfort when needed. Inside, the layout includes a full kitchen and comfortable living area, while the bathroom features a large shower with a custom-made tub that gives the space a more residential feel. A separate bonus area provides flexibility for a home office, creative workspace, reading area, or meditation space, allowing the new owner to adapt the home to their own lifestyle. Together with the thoughtful details throughout the design, these spaces give the home a distinctive personality that feels personal and inviting rather than conventional. Outside, the property is designed around two distinct outdoor spaces. The front patio centers around the infinity pool, creating a private setting for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the garden. At the rear of the home, a second patio offers a quieter vantage point into the surrounding landscape, where wildlife can be observed as it moves through the trees and vegetation around the property. The large garden provides plenty of space around the existing home, creating privacy while leaving significant room for the property to evolve. There is potential to add additional dwellings to the property, while the existing roof structure has also been designed to allow for the possibility of adding a second story to the current home. The elevated construction places the home above the surrounding ground level and allows air to circulate beneath the structure, an approach well suited to the tropical environment. The screened openings and generous connection between the interior and exterior further reinforce the home's focus on natural ventilation and outdoor living. While the property is part of a residential subdivision, the size of the lot and established garden create a feeling of separation from the surrounding homes. The setting is peaceful and private, with enough space to enjoy the property as it is today while retaining genuine options for future development. The location offers a comfortable balance between residential privacy and access to Puerto Viejo. Downtown Puerto Viejo is approximately 4.6 kilometers away, where you'll find restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, shops, services, and the distinctive Caribbean culture that has made the town one of the South Caribbean's best-known destinations. The coastline is also within easy reach, with beach access approximately 3.2 kilometers away. This property offers a completed home with the space and flexibility to make it your own over time. The existing design provides a solid foundation, while the generous lot creates opportunities to add another residence, expand the current home upward, further develop the gardens, or simply enjoy the privacy and outdoor spaces already in place. For a first-time buyer or single owner looking for a personal home near Puerto Viejo, it offers an opportunity to start with something established while leaving plenty of room for your own ideas, improvements, and future plans.
