Casa Haven

$3,250,000 829 m²

6 Bed

6.5 Bath

Just a six-minute walk from the soft sands of Playa Pelada — and only a few more to Guiones — lies Haven Nosara, a home that understands how people actually want to live in the tropics.

Step through the gates and you’re embraced by lush, mature gardens and the feeling of being fully surrounded by the jungle.

Life here moves to a different rhythm — colorful birds flash through the branches, monkeys move gracefully overhead, and every window frames shades of green.

Designed for How You Live—Together or Apart

Designed as two independent units that easily function as a single, expansive home, the property offers exceptional versatility.

The ground-floor villa features two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a plunge pool – perfect for guests or rental income.

The main residence spans the top two floors, offering four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, expansive indoor-outdoor living, and a stunning 42-foot lap pool positioned perfectly to catch the sunset skies.

“What sets Casa Haven apart is how thoughtfully it’s designed for actual tropical living — something surprisingly rare here.”

Bedrooms are generously sized with proper airflow. The kitchen layout makes sense for how you’ll actually cook and entertain.

Entryways are positioned to capture breezes, not block them.

Warm Guanacaste wood cabinetry and custom furnishings bring natural richness throughout, while carefully detailed touches — from drainage that actually works to shade structures placed where you need them — make daily life seamless rather than a battle with the climate.

Everything Within Reach

For buyers seeking walkability, rental income potential, and a home where someone clearly thought about how tropical living actually works, this is it.

View Bio

He's spent nearly 20 years in Nosara raising a family and building a real estate business. That time taught him this place from every angle — as a parent, a developer, and now as someone living on his own permaculture farm. He's developed properties throughout Central America, including his own project in Nosara. With each one, every decision was guided by one question: how do we work with this land, not against it? Whether it was managing erosion, siting buildings, or routing roads, he discovered that working with the natural contours isn't just easier — it saves money and creates properties that actually last. Over three decades, he's helped clients navigate more than $50 million in property transactions throughout the region. But what matters more isn't the dollar figure — it's that he knows which roads flood during rainy season, which developments actually deliver what they promise, and which "ocean view" lots will be swallowed by trees before you finish building. Years ago he co-authored Pay Dirt, a book on land investing and market cycles because he's seen too many people make expensive mistakes in places like this. Nosara is special, but it's not immune to the patterns that can trip you up: cultural differences, stalled infrastructure, properties that look perfect until you try to pull permits. When you're searching in Nosara, you need someone who: - Knows the actual history of properties you're considering, not just what's in the listing - Understands how the jungle works so you don't learn expensive lessons the hard way - Will tell you when to walk away from a deal, even if it costs him a commission He genuinely loves talking about real estate in Nosara — the market, the opportunities, what makes sense for different situations. If you're serious about finding the right property in Nosara, whether it's your forever home or a lot you'll build on, reach out. He's always happy to discuss what you're looking for and what's actually available right now.
