3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, located about 10 minutes above Uvita in the rim overlooking the Whales Tail. This is a gorgeous house that finished construction in March of 2017. When you enter the house, the large screen TV is on the wall to the left, and the interior dining area is just to the right. There are essentially 2 dining rooms in this house: 1 interior and 1 exterior. Ditto this for living rooms. Life happens out-doors in Costa Rica. There may be times when you'll opt to hangout inside, and you can certainly do this due to the gorgeous living and dining room areas of the house, but for the most part, you'll want to do your dining and visiting with friends & family in the 24/7 perfect climate of Costa Rica. This is done in the outdoor dining area that features a gorgeous guanacaste wood table that is located just near the bar-b-cue and is in easy proximity to the pass-through window from the kitchen. And there is also the couch-defined outdoor living room with couches on 3 sides, looking over the pool and out to the ocean.

You're going to love Casa Mela... with its state of the art design, close proximity to the beach, and close proximity to the shops and services of Uvita's town center. This home checks all the key boxes for rental (walk to the beach, pool, contemporary design) and also affords families the convenience and lifestyle they are looking for. This contemporary home sits at the end of a cul-de-saq and the land fans out from the street to the backyard bordered by a creek. The house is a contemporary 2-bed/2-bath layout with a clean lines and a bright feel. The bedrooms are on opposite sides of the house, with the great room (living/kitchen) between them. The master bedroom has a walk-out slider to it's own patio with hammock and pool access. The guest bedroom and bathroom are spacious. As with most houses in Costa Rica, life happens outdoors. There is space for cooking on the bbq, dining, and lounging on the pool patio. An extra storage room holds the washer/dryer/sink and breaker panel; all very easy to access. Hot water is provided by a solar heater on the roof separate from the 3.6KW solar panel/inverter system tied to the public grid (think- low monthly electric bills). Casa Mela is located in phase 2 of Villa Del Sol, a quality development for an affordable price. The quality is found in the infrastructure-- electricity and high speed internet lines are underground, so there are no ugly wires to breakup the views to the coastal mountains (a HUGE plus). Smooth gravel roads, sidewalks and fire hydrants have been installed for comfort and safety. There are a number of long term and vacation rental homes in Villa Del Sol that enjoy high occupancy. The demand exceeds the supply. There are also a number of full time residents. With the steady growth of Uvita and the surround coastal areas (think- three private schools now open in the area), the future is bright!

Fifty acres of mostly usable land. Abundant nature including jungle, wildlife, birds and a spring bubbling out of the ground. There is a sizable river that runs along the lower edge of the property. There are both ocean & sunset views from selected areas of the property. All this about 12 minutes from Uvita's town center. The proximity to Uvita's grocery stores might be rendered unnecessary. After living on this property for a while, you may find that you don't go the the grocery store as much - or at all. The property does a gentle slope from its highest point down to the lowest, which is at the level of the river. The profile makes most of the property usable for farming, gardening and of course, your choice of structures. At the uppermost point of the property there is a gorgeous jungle with its own jungle micro- climate and eco-system. Numerous examples of Costa Rica's wildlife call this place home.
