Uvita, Bahía Ballena, Osa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Casa Selva is located at the base of Selva Armonia, one of the only truly sustainable communities in the Ballena Coast region. Sitting on 2.5 acres, the prime location allows for total privacy, uninterrupted ocean views and an amazing amount of animal and bird sightings. The home comes turn-key - everything is included, including a custom furniture and materials package.
The property consists of two structures, both with ocean and sunset views. As you enter the main home, you will notice the variety of hardwood furniture and unique details that set this home apart from many. There is a spacious, open kitchen with a large island, energy-efficient appliances, custom wood countertop, cabinets and bar chairs. There is half-bath by the kitchen. The living room flows out into the outside patio and has a custom 3-piece sofa installation with the highest quality fabrics and custom lighting. Heading towards the outdoor living area, there is a large teak deck, six chaise lounge chairs to take in the epic ocean views and a large custom hardwood dining table that seats 12. The ocean views are intimate and beautiful, with the iconic Whales Tail sandbar, whitewater of the surf crashing below and glowing sunsets. Watch the monkeys and the ocean from the outdoor shower...then slide down the fire-pole to the master bedroom below! Downstairs is the master bedroom suite which is truly unique, from the custom bedframe, sofa and sliding doors, that creates an indoors-meets-outdoors feel. The stained glass installations and passive-cooling design are a welcome touch and invite warm light and cool, fresh breezes into the room. Custom LED fixtures and shelving and multiple fans throughout. There is a large walk-in closet with a dehumidifier that could easily be converted into an extra bedroom. The master bathroom has an "artists" shower, with stone/tile designs and glass inserts. The highest quality plumbing and bathroom fixtures are in place. Above the 2-car garage is the second bedroom, which has a custom hardwood bed frame, dressers, shelving and LED lighting fixtures. There is an indoor/outdoor shower facing the jungle and a kitchen. The garage has a washer and dryer, surfboard storage and a $20,000 solar-installation that powers the entire property. The development now has electrical power delivered to the property, so this is available to tap into if desired. Two All Terrain Vehicles that have been well maintained are included with the sale. There are an abundant amount of fruit trees including 2 large mature breadfruits, mango, (sweet) starfruit, lime, banana & papaya trees plus 2-3 year old Durian, Jackfruit, mamone chino and avocado. There are several species mature bamboo, both ornamental and structural. There is an additional building area with lovely ocean views that would be an ideal spot for an additional suite or casita. There is also another building area tucked in the jungle that would allow for additional structures, cabins or guesthouse. Follow the established jungle trail to your right and it will you to the retreat center, which consists of an infinity pool, communal kitchen/living room and yoga deck. Follow the trail to the left and you arrive at a year-round stream and natural jacuzzi, tucked into the lush jungle. This is a rare opportunity to own the only existing home in the amazing Selva Armonia community. The home is priced significantly under the market value! The owner chose the best two lots in the development to build and used the best quality materials. This is a great deal and won't last long!
