Long Description

Only a short 350 meter stroll from the colorful energy of Puerto Viejo and the sandy shoreline, this 455 sqm property feels like a quiet secret tucked just behind town. Wrapped in a lush garden, the home radiates warmth and ease, with a layout that invites both relaxed daily living and thoughtful hosting. The main house features two bedrooms and one bathroom, with an airy, open-concept design, cool tiled floors, and charming built-in touches like a reading nook with dry cupboards at the entryway. The indoor kitchen connects to a discreet storage area and a breezy back entrance, while attic space and outdoor storage nooks (including a bodega and bench seating with hidden compartments) ensure there’s room for everything. Out back, the covered patio is completely private - shaded, spacious, and perfect for slow breakfasts, weekend dinners with friends, or an afternoon curled up with a book in the garden breeze. Connected to the main home but with its own entrance, the self contained one bedroom apartment offers instant flexibility for guests, long-term renters, or a private workspace. The home’s structure is solid prefab concrete, with a well, city water, rain catchment system (2,000 liter storage), laundry area, and covered parking. While the original roof and electrical could benefit from updates, the home has been well cared for and holds plenty of potential. What makes this property truly special is its balance: just steps to town and the beach, yet peaceful and private. It’s a home for someone who wants to be close to everything, but come home to quiet. The overall atmosphere is that of an English garden retreat, warm, welcoming, and full of character. Whether you're seeking a tranquil primary residence or an investment with rental flexibility, this home offers privacy, charm, and versatility in one of the area’s more established residential pockets.
