A Unique Santa Teresa Property Near Playa Hermosa

Some properties are easy to describe.

Live here. Work here. Rent it. Or explore its future potential.

A Santa Teresa Home Built Differently

Casa Hermosa doesn't look or function like a conventional Costa Rican beach home.

The residence was created using two new, one-trip steel structures, positioned on opposite sides of a large central covered living space.

This central area forms the heart of the home, creating an expansive tropical indoor/outdoor environment. Open it up to enjoy the Costa Rican climate, or close the property down for exceptional privacy and security.

The home sits approximately 80 cm above ground level, helping separate the living areas from ground moisture, insects and other tropical visitors.

Before construction, approximately one meter of compacted fill was installed, using roughly 12 truckloads of material to prepare the site.

The foundation was also constructed with potential future expansion in mind, including the possibility of adding another level of steel structures, subject to engineering, permits and applicable approvals.

Even the plumbing was designed with practicality in mind, with water lines beneath the house remaining accessible for easier servicing and maintenance.

2 Bedrooms + Flexible Studio or Office

Casa Hermosa currently offers:

2 Bedrooms • 3 Bathrooms • Studio/Office

The separate studio/office adds considerable flexibility and could potentially function as a:

Home office
Guest space
Creative studio
Professional office
Treatment room
Rental space
Potential third bedroom

The home also includes a sunroom, extensive covered living areas and an outdoor shower with hot water, making it particularly well suited to Costa Rica's tropical lifestyle.

Private Saltwater Pool & Tropical Backyard

Step outside and you'll find one of Casa Hermosa's most inviting features: a private saltwater swimming pool with massage jets.

It's the perfect place to cool down after the beach, surfing or a day exploring Santa Teresa.

The multi-level backyard offers additional outdoor living possibilities, with extensive covered space and even room for a future yoga deck.

There is also parking for a car, quad/ATV and motorcycle.

Built for Everyday Life in Costa Rica

Some of Casa Hermosa's most valuable features aren't necessarily the ones you'll notice in the photographs.

The property has an AyA municipal water connection plus a 1,100-liter gravity-fed water storage tank, providing a valuable reserve during interruptions in municipal water pressure or supply.

Additional infrastructure includes:

Two on-demand hot-water systems
200-amp electrical service
Fiber-optic internet
Oversized septic system designed for six people
Approximately 12-meter leach field
Separate owner's storage

The private storage could be particularly useful for an owner who chooses to operate the property as a vacation rental while keeping personal belongings securely stored.

Exceptional Security & Privacy

Casa Hermosa was designed with security in mind.

The entire property is fully enclosed and gated, with an electric entrance gate and substantial steel doors that can be completely closed and double locked.

The central living area can also be secured when the property is closed, while a motorized roll-down front patio cover provides another layer of protection.

When everything is closed, Casa Hermosa becomes remarkably private and secure.

Hurricane? No problem.
Wild animals? Probably not.
Zombie apocalypse? You're probably going to want to be here. 😎
