SERENE JUNGLE RETREAT IN LAGUNAS DE BARÚ

Escape to the tranquility of Lagunas de Barú, one of the most desirable mountain communities above Dominical, where lush rainforest, abundant wildlife, cooler mountain air, and spectacular jungle and mountain views come together—yet the beach town of Dominical is only approximately 8 minutes away.

This beautifully maintained 2,500-square-foot, two-story concrete home sits on just under an acre of private, landscaped property. Originally built in 2007, the home underwent a major renovation completed in 2023, transforming it into a comfortable modern jungle retreat, while preserving the character and natural beauty of its surroundings.

The Property

Best of all, the property is being sold fully furnished and move-in ready—and includes TWO 4×4 vehicles as part of the sale. For anyone moving to Costa Rica, this is an exceptional convenience and significant added value.

A PRIVATE HOME SURROUNDED BY NATURE

The home is gated and private, with lush jungle and mountain views and mature landscaping creating a peaceful tropical setting. From the expansive patio, the owners have observed more than 120 species of birds, making this a remarkable property for birdwatchers and nature lovers. Toucans are frequent visitors—even appearing daily.

The property also features dozens of producing banana trees, pineapple plants, a guava tree, and a guaba (ice cream fruit) tree. The result is more than simply a home in the jungle—it is an opportunity to experience Costa Rica's wildlife and tropical environment directly from your own patio.

The home features a solid concrete construction designed to perform exceptionally well in Costa Rica's tropical climate. Concrete construction offers durability, low maintenance, and excellent resistance to heavy tropical rains and winds.

Large windows and sliding glass doors bring natural light into the living spaces while allowing the surrounding jungle to become part of the home's atmosphere.

Large windows and sliding doors

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

The main-floor bedroom has direct patio access, creating the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee while listening to the surrounding birds and rainforest. The kitchen features custom local cedar cabinetry and includes the existing appliances.

The second floor features a spacious loft-style master bedroom with:

Beautiful jungle and mountain views

Large windows bringing in natural light

The Property

The home's layout provides comfortable separation between the two bedrooms while maintaining an open, tropical feel.

2023 RENOVATION & FUTURE EXPANSION POTENTIAL

A major renovation was completed in July 2023, adding significant value and functionality to the property.

Outdoor Living

Expanded patio area with saltwater pool

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

Large new covered area designed for future conversion into a pool-facing master suite

This creates excellent future expansion potential without starting from scratch. The dining room/office can also be converted into a third bedroom, while the large covered area provides another opportunity to create additional living space or a private master suite overlooking the pool.

Living Spaces

The large saltwater swimming pool was built in 2023 and provides a beautiful centerpiece to the outdoor living area. The pool is equipped with a Hayward PoolVac for easy maintenance, allowing owners to spend less time maintaining the pool and more time enjoying it. With the surrounding jungle, mountain views, tropical landscaping, and wildlife, the pool area is an ideal place to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the Costa Rican lifestyle.

The Property

One of the most unique features of this sale is that both vehicles are included with the property.

1995 Mitsubishi Montero 4×4

Having two capable 4×4 vehicles included can be an enormous advantage for someone relocating to the Southern Zone, particularly for exploring the mountains, beaches, rivers, and surrounding countryside. It also means a new owner can arrive, move in, and immediately have vehicles available without the additional expense and hassle of purchasing vehicles after moving to Costa Rica.
