Manuel Antonio - Sale Pending
$550,000 USD
This charming Spanish-style courtyard estate is a rare offering in the heart of Manuel Antonio, blending privacy, lush jungle surroundings, and exceptional walkability. The property features a 3-bedroom main residence centered around a vibrant tropical garden and resort-style pool, along with a separate 2-bedroom poolside villa-perfect for guests, extended family, or rental income.
The pool serves as the true heart of the property, creating a tranquil oasis where daily visits from monkeys, sloths, and tropical birds make it feel as though you're living within a national park. Despite this immersive natural setting, the location is unmatched: El Mercadito Gastronomic Market is just 650 meters away, while the nearest supermarket and restaurant are only a 150-meter walk.
Set within a secluded, jungle-rich neighborhood with few nearby homes, the property offers a rare sense of privacy. Three gated parking spaces provide direct access to the pool and courtyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow throughout the estate.
The main residence offers approximately 275 m² of living space. The first level features an open-concept layout with kitchen, dining, and living areas, along with one bedroom and a full bathroom-ideal for guests or single-level living. The upper level is dedicated entirely to the primary suite, showcasing soaring wood-beamed ceilings, an ensuite bathroom with jacuzzi tub, and an expansive covered terrace furnished with hammocks and seating-an exceptional vantage point for wildlife viewing and jungle sunsets.
The third bedroom is detached from the main residence and accessed via a covered patio, offering its own outdoor seating area. This space is surrounded by ample room to create a private, fenced yard-perfect for pet owners or those seeking added separation from the pool and guest villa.
The large swimming pool provides welcome relief on warm tropical days and is complemented by a covered poolside patio with BBQ and sink area. This space is consistently praised by guests and renters as the standout feature of the property-ideal for entertaining, relaxing, and embracing the indoor-outdoor lifestyle Manuel Antonio is known for.
Overlooking the pool and gardens, the poolside villa offers approximately 136 m² of living space. It features high natural wood ceilings throughout and an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area. The villa includes two bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, and an attached laundry room, making it fully self-contained and highly functional.
Location is everything, and this property truly delivers. Tucked away on a quiet, no-exit road, it offers peace and privacy while remaining within walking distance of some of Manuel Antonio's best restaurants, shops, and amenities. A hidden gem that combines nature, convenience, and versatility in one exceptional estate.
