The Residence · Nosara, Costa Rica

A home, made by hand.

Turnkey

A two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath house atop the hill — bespoke hand-carved doors and furniture from India, breathtaking views of the gardens, valley, and mountains.

Two sources of water, solar with battery backup alongside grid power, Starlink and fibre. Roughly a year and a half young, and finished to a standard that asks nothing of you but to arrive. A seamless, turnkey home at the centre of the estate.
