Description
THE LOCATION Las Catalinas incorporates the principles of New Urbanism where human connection and environmentalism are priorities in the design. This concept is accomplished with public plazas, automobile-free streets, shopping boulevards, restaurants, work/study spaces, and marketplaces. Without cars filling the streets, Las Catalinas' residents enjoy an old-time sense of community, a rarity today. Because Las Catalinas was designed at scale for biking and walking, homes and buildings efficiently use space and topography. A walk through town may render thoughts of Antigua in the Caribbean, Casco Viejo in Panama, or Vernazza on the Italian coastline. Of the 1,200 acres encompassing Las Catalinas, only 200 acres are planned for development. The remaining 1000 acres of forest are home to exotic birds, howler monkeys, iguanas, and the odd wild cat. Within the reserve, you'll find thirty-five kilometers of hiking paths and varying degrees of mountain bike trails offering panoramic ocean views. If you're into water recreation, you'll love the crystalline waters offshore for snorkeling, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, bodysurfing, and more. Las Catalinas is an outdoor athlete's sanctuary with multiple yearly events that gets the whole town involved. THE PROPERTY Welcome home to the cheerful, a one-of-a-kind three bedroom home plus lock-out one-bedroom apartment located in the high-end beach town of Las Catalinas, Costa Rica. Enjoy all of the restaurants, stores, shops, and even the warm waves of Playa Danta Beach, all of which are only a one-minute walk in any direction from this home. This home welcomes its visitors on its main level which features an open concept where the living room, kitchen and dining room unite for the ultimate in entertaining. The chef's kitchen includes hardwood cabinets, colorful poured concrete countertops with a backsplash made of hand-painted tiles, stainless steel appliances, and a large island with gas stove and breakfast bar for five. The kitchen opens to the dining area with additional seating for eight and to the beautiful outdoor space with covered areas, lounge chairs for sunbathing, and private plunge pool. You will also see beautiful travertine tile throughout this home. The principle bedroom is phenomenal, with ocean views, an en-suite bathroom with dual vanities and fashionable poured concrete countertops, and a private terrace with sweeping ocean views that overlook the town and make you feel like you are on top of the world. A wonderfully unique feature of this home is its lockout one-bedroom apartment on the first floor. This suite is perfect to combine and use as a fourth bedroom with the house, or to lock off and use as a separate and fully equipped one-bedroom rental apartment with separate entrance. With a living room and fully stocked kitchenette, you have everything you need in this space alone! Great versatility in renting the spaces out together or separately, or for living in one while renting the other for extra income. It is located in the highly coveted “beach side” of Las Catalinas, making it steps from the beach, from all high-end restaurants and stores, and of course, from the amazing beach club.
