VISTA REAL DEL MAR near Playa Garza
On a hilltop on the Pacific Coast and surrounded by jungle, this luxury home on two acres provides a magnificent view across the valley to Playa Guiones, Nosara. The serene location is within twenty minutes of surfing, deep sea fishing, horseback riding, yoga classes, restaurants, and the beaches of Nosara. Breezes from the ocean on this hill provide a cooling effect, and a refreshing change of pace after beach area activities.
Completed in 2008, the home is an example of simple elegance with unique ironwork, a curved marble stairway, granite countertops, and beautiful hand carved furniture. 5,900 square feet of usable space allows for informal indoor-outdoor living at it's best.
This home is ideal for two or three couples, a family, or a small group of friends. The main house has three bedrooms with adjoining terraces, a dedicated yoga room with an ocean view, and a separate media room. In addition, a detached studio apartment to accommodate guests or a nanny. It could be an idyllic site for a small destination wedding, yoga retreat, or simply enjoying the "pura vida" of Costa Rica.

Why the Owner Chose Nosara
The Beaches of Nosara are unspoiled in many ways and afford stunning moments in time amidst nature, a wonderful climate, and a warm culture. The combination of an agrarian landscape in the tropical forest provides a vast array of flora and fauna. We built this open-air home to connect with natural beauty of the area.
The Unique Benefits at this House
You can enjoy watching howler monkeys, parrots, beautiful sunsets, and the serene environment, in addition to having access to clean, warm beaches for surfing, fishing, and swimming. You can access the beach and unique restaurants in 15-20 minutes, and then retreat to a peaceful environment to swim, play pool, practice yoga, read and relax- truly away from it all. However, wireless internet and satellite television allows as much, or as little communication with the "outside world" as you wish.
Ride and beaches or into the mountains on healthy and well trained horses.
Ostional Beach has a turtle refuge to protect the large Ridley Turtles who come onto the beach to lay eggs. A unique site to see.
Fly into our small local airport from San Jose or Liberia and you are just 25 minutes from the house.
Owner's Map of Nosara
My husband and I retired from our former careers as an educator and pilot, and continue to pursue new venues and travel. The Nosara area of Costa Rica provides us a wonderful opportunity to live a healthy, active, and yet low-stress life; where we enjoy spending several months a year.
