Eco Villa with Pool and Ocean Views in St. Michael’s Sustainable Community

A furnished one-bedroom eco villa on a 2.25-acre (0.9 ha) lot in St. Michael’s Sustainable Community, a planned community of 24 large lots in the hills of Guapinol and Chires above Parrita, on Costa Rica’s Central Pacific coast.

The villa. About 120 m², built in 2017: an open kitchen and living area with a gas stove, glass doors onto a large deck, a private pool over the rainforest, a bedroom opening onto the gardens, a bathroom with two sinks and a half bathroom, and a laundry room. A stone path leads up the lot to a higher spot with wider views of the ocean and mountains.

The lot. Gently sloping land down to a creek on one side, with zoning that allows a second home or guest house, a driveway with plenty of parking and a large storage building. Very private, with no close neighbours.

The community. An optional HOA gives access to a large community pavilion. The villa has a rental history and comes furnished.

Location. About 15 minutes from the Blue Flag beach at Playa Bandera and from the shops and services of Bejuco, Esterillos and Parrita, 15 minutes from a clinic and about 40 minutes from Manuel Antonio National Park.

Good to know. The villa has security cameras and a lockbox for guest check-in. Ask about the community’s rules and fees, the water source and the zoning for a second home.
