About this property

Coastal elegance in a decorator villa overlooking the Whale's Tail

A legendary view and an aesthetic environment dripping with jungle chlorophyl awaits your visit at this beautiful villa. As you enter the front gate you will find a splashy kiss of crystal citrine towers with passion fruit and vanilla vines cascading over the private villa garden wall. An immediate calm arrives and your fatigue and frayed nerves from the journey are gone.

Casa Citrina has one of the most dramatic and privileged locations in the area, overlooking the famous Whale’s Tail. Loads of privacy on a twelve acre property, perched overlooking the jungle, wildlife abounds. Entering the house, you will not be able to resist going straight to the patio to take in the breathtaking view of one of Costa Rica’s most iconic locations. Many visitors have likened this setting to the Amalfi Coast of Italy and Kauai. Overlooking the breeding grounds of the Antarctic and Alaskan whales and the world class sunsets there is no better place to experience the gifts of nature.

With 5 star furnishings throughout, you can cozy up on the Restoration Hardware’s famous cloud sofa, just in time to hear the jungle symphony of the squawking from the family of toucans that live near by. The house is at a high elevation which means, no pesky bugs, light cool breezes (yes you may need a sweater) but you can still sleep to the crashing of waves immediately below. The kitchen will impress any gourmet cook with all you need to prepare the perfect meal. Use our online shopping contacts to order everything you need and have it delivered and stocked prior to your arrival. If you do not want to cook, our local chefs can have tasty meals waiting for you. Your choice of world class wines and liquors can be ready on the kitchen island ready to pour and enjoy on the patio your first day here.

The home has 2 large master suites and a mini master, all with en suite bathrooms. Two baths have outdoor air bubble bathtubs and gorgeous all glass showers. There is an extra smaller room with a 1/2 bath that could be for a nanny or maid. Although located in a temperate elevation, all rooms have air conditioning. All bedding is organic, no pesticides have been used on the property, there is structured water and all cleaning supplies are carefully chosen to be non toxic. All bathrooms have organic shampoos and body washes and other amenities from a local company specializing in nature aligned potions The heated salt swimming pool takes the slight chill off in the evenings and an outdoor kitchen is perfect for a poolside evening BBQ. If you are coming to work, everything is ready with a computer monitor, fiber optic high speed internet, solar energy to guarantee a back up in the case of energy outages and abundant wifi throughout the property.

Organic fruits and vegetables when available from our permaculture garden are often left at your front door and you are always invited to visit the newly completed black bamboo greenhouse that is always bustling with seedlings. Maybe the stingless bee hives on the property will have honey ready for your breakfast or for sweetening your tropical smoothie.

Just when you think you have had the perfect day, evening comes and the show begins. Probably the most spectacular sunsets you have ever experienced are here, each one unique and breathtaking. Wildlife wonders never disappoint at Casa Citrina, toucans are guaranteed for happy hour and monkeys often stop by. Bird watching takes on a whole new meaning and walks through the neighborhood are never without something new to discover. Located at the top of a ridge, you can take an easy morning walk on two miles of road without extreme hills. Casa Citrina is also cool with your own furry family and accepts dogs under 30 pounds!

The rental price includes maid service once a week and your wish is our command for any local support that you may need during your visit. We also have a Jeep Grand Cherokee available to rent and with proper notice and we can have you picked up from the Quepos airport and brought to the property to begin your vacation trouble free. Casa Citrina is located in the Costa Verde Estates neighborhood, the most prestigious address in the area. Tennis courts can be arranged and there is a helicopter pad for ease of arrival as well. This is the perfect launching pad for visiting the beaches. It is a 20 minute drive from the coastal highway to the property. All guests are required to have a 4x4 vehicle. From the house you can see the gushing Diamante waterfall, Costa Rica's largest. A ride through the back roads will take you to the famous Nauyaca falls. You are also next door to an abundance of organic farms and permaculture. Farmers markets offer a healthy experience and lots of fun while seeking out exotic fruits and vegetables. Nearby gastronomy abounds and one of the most favorite local hang outs is only a ten minute drive with a great chef and one of the best bartenders around. A local market is also handy with gourmet goodies and a great selection of fine wines. Many other great restaurants are not too far away.

Casa Citrina was designed for the experienced traveler accustomed to five star amenities and design. You will experience in luxury one of the world's most biologically intense places on earth. Me and my staff are sure you will cherish every moment you are here. There are few places like Casa Citrina at MU Estate that are left in the world. See you soon!
*Summer pricing reflects a discount as there is construction going on in a nearby lot until November 2023.

Perfect In Every Way

Casa Citrina is nothing short of spectacular. We had a wonderful 2 week stay at Lori's lovely house. The only problem was I could never decide where to sit as there were great views from every position. Whether you want to marvel at the jungle or stare out to sea, it is all there before your eyes. The house itself is gorgeous, comfortable and designed soak in the surroundings. We can't wait to return next year!! Thank you Lori!

About the host

Hosted by Lori Morrison

Host profile image
I have lived most of my life in Central America and the desert southwest of the United States. I have always been called to the lands of the original peoples. These are places of great magic and mysticism. My love for design and construction was the catalyst for many real estate projects throughout my lifetime where I had the opportunity to work with many of Central America’s finest architects and designers. After a dramatic spiritual awakening, I traveled and studied all over the world with indigenous healers, herbalists and energy workers and then combined my search with cutting edge technologies using "Tesla" theories for finding the underlying cause and best remedies for illness. I am an author, medical intuitive, entrepreneur, designer, and an eternal student of herbal medicines.

Why they chose this property

The villa is located in the area's most prestigious neighborhood, Costa Verde Estates. Your ultimate security is assured in the guard gated community and additionally in the gated estate in which Casa Citrina is located. As the estate is at the top of a mountain ridge the morning walks are easy and bursting with views. A year ago I decided to build a beautiful greenhouse on the property and it is a place where you can experience permaculture and also have a peek at my growing orchid collection. My love of crystals is my foundation for all of the homes that I build. To each project I bring an extensive collection of crystals that I form into a grid for the home and property to create a special harmony in tune with nature and its surroundings. Living at MU immersed in this crystal energy, you know that you live in a special place.

Mu Costa Rica is based on the world and principles of LeMUria. It is a place of clear water and mountains full of crystals. A paradise, garden of eden type of feeling where we are one with nature and we see everything around us as sentient beings. A place where we communicate with the trees, flowers and animals. Where crystals pound out a frequency of love and healing.


What makes this property unique

Many years ago my goal was to build ten houses in the world’s most beautiful places. Casa Citrina at MU is my latest creation. One month after I arrived and had purchased the land I would call MU, a very spiritual woman knocked at the door of the house I was staying in and told me she wanted to share something with me. She told me that the lot that I had chosen was a very spiritual place as there were the energies of a Lemurian temple there. It validated every sense that I had, that I had found the core energies of MU.

Casa Citrina sits overlooking the breeding grounds of whales and the sunsets over the pacific ocean, there is no better place in the world to experience a life of living in the jungle.

You are next door to the Osa Penisula, one of the world’s most biologically intense places on earth. It is home to half of all the species in Costa Rica which is a staggering 2.4% of the entire biodiversity of our planet. Your lungs will fill with the oxygen of the plant life as you marvel at the collection of wildlife that abounds. Monkeys, Toucans even Jaguars still roam the dense forests here.

Enjoy the cool breezes at these higher elevations that keep you comfortable without the high and hot velocity of other beach locations. A quick 15 minute drive and you are surfing, eating at some of Costa Rica's most prestigious restaurants, visiting an animal sanctuary, swimming in the countries most dramatic waterfalls, eating the most amazing high vibration food from local farms and not a high rise in site! Para gliding is 5 minutes away and just being here and doing nothing, can be fun too! Enter a world of few footprints and make your own brand of love and life.
