Charming 3-Bed Home Near Beach & Marino Ballena, Uvita

A contemporary 3-bed home surrounded by Uvita's services and amenities but just a short stroll to tropical beaches, protected mangroves & rainforests, and the world-famous Marino Ballena National Park! 

Imagine hearing the Pacific waves as you are drifting to sleep – well you won't have to imagine because this house is only 1 km away from the ocean! The wonderful sands & coconut groves, migrating whales, sportfishing, snorkeling & diving, nature excursions, adrenaline activities and relaxation of Marino Ballena National Park and Playas Uvita & Hermosa, considered some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, are within walking distance of this striking 3-bedroom home – as is Uvita's famous 'Whale's Tail' sand & rock formation. And because the home is located on a cul-de-sac, within a larger cul-de-sac, there is peace, quiet and zero through-traffic.  

But let's not forget the other aspect of the location – easy access to modern-world luxuries & essentials. The main entrance to the National Park is just 1km distant – and scattered along the way are trendy cafes, renowned restaurants, grocery shops, boutiques, surf & academic schools, convenience stores, and yoga studios (plus so much more)!  

Further afield, specialized services and amenities extend in all directions including medical & dental clinics, legal & real estate offices, day spas and hairdressers, building & garden supply warehouses, car mechanics, large supermarkets, and many others that sit along the Costanera highway just over 2 km away from the property. 

The corner-property home is accessed via a secured garden gate while the car can be parked under the front carport or at the large backyard flanking the house. The house, skillfully trimmed in rich wood and warm floor tiling, is crisscrossed by natural and intricate stone accents – these details perfectly reflect the nature that surrounds the property. A central kitchen/living area is the nexus of the home – the kitchen is large, fully equipped, and outfitted with enough bench space to prepare the largest of meals. The rich wood of the kitchen cabinets and the beautiful granite countertops create a mesmerizing effect. Opposite, a sizeable lounge is the perfect place for relaxing and entertaining. Tall ceilings and skylights fill this expanse with natural light and ventilation while plentiful storage areas should never run out of space.

A separate laundry room holds a washer & dryer. Recently upgraded internet is FAST! 

Two bedrooms share a powder room and shower while the beautiful granite-clad grand master bedroom includes a private ensuite as well as a walk-in closet. Both showers have soaking monsoon shower-heads. Outside, a gorgeous tiled patio and wading pool are protected by a roof ensuring rain-or-shine enjoyment, with a nearby outdoor shower for convenience. A separate seating area is located adjacent to the patio. Beyond, a manicured lawn and numerous trees & shrubs provide lush greenery and plenty of secure exercise room, whether for dogs or children. Fruit trees like papaya, mango and citrus varieties are scattered around the property – perfect morning snacks to enjoy along with the morning coffee. At the back of the house a large backyard can be developed or sold off as a separate property. 

And this greenery, together with the nearby national park, will attract the animals that Costa Rica is famous for – toucans, macaws (they LOVE the local almond trees), monkeys, sloths, coatis, blue morpho butterflies and many other creatures will be your new neighbors. With the ocean and protected area at the front, pasturelands all around, and the majestic coastal mountains at the back, you will never forget that untamed nature is just around the corner – and you will never get tired of the amazing sunsets. And can you keep a secret? A short, shaded stroll will take you to a river inlet and a secluded beach – a perfect relaxation or fishing hideaway! And to keep it interesting, mountain biking and ATV opportunities are ever present in every direction.  

And finally, a bit about the additional opportunity concerning the large backyard. This lot can be developed – a large house, smaller guesthomes , a large deck & swimming pool, a tropical orchard, landscaped garden, or a relaxing gazeebo are just a handful of options. The backyard lot can also be sold as its fronts an access road. 

Such a beautiful property, within a quick stroll to Marino Ballena, beaches, adventure activities, cafes, shops, services & restaurants is an amazing offer indeed – and this without mentioning the options to develop or sell the adjoining lot! Call RE/MAX today to schedule a viewing.
