Rare Opportunity on the Lagarta Ridge Road in Playa Pelada

Casa Castillo - A Rare Opportunity on the Lagarta Ridge in Playa Pelada

Awaiting your vision! This airy and bright three-bedroom home in A section presents endless possibilities to create your own masterpiece featuring expansive ocean views.

Premium Location 

It’s a well-known fact that the best lots in Nosara were scooped up long before the area became the hotspot that it is today. Casa Castillo sits on one of these premium lots, positioned near the very end of Cerro Lagarto, a quiet dead-end road on the ridge past the iconic Lagarta Lodge Hotel, where the majority of the neighbours are year round residents. The home boasts a spectacular 180-degree view that includes the hills of Las Huacas and white-water ocean views spanning from Punta Guiones all the way to North Pelada. And yet, it is less than a 10-minute walk to the white sand of Pelada beach, the calm waters of the Nosara River mouth. and pristine jungle trails. No need to choose between ocean view or walking to the beach. This home has both – a rare combination!

Fantastic Home Ready to Be Customized

Built in simpler times when there was both a need and desire to integrate with the natural environment, Casa Castillo was thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the abundant light and ocean breezes bestowed upon its hilltop location. 

With oversized windows on all sides and a large second floor terrace, there is a distinct openness to this home where the breezes flow naturally and the surrounding foliage and wildlife are within reaching distance. Ceilings topping 12-feet create mesmerizing airiness and contribute to the castle-like feel, as do the stone accents, oversized doors and custom-designed iron work. 

A solid construction of three storeys, which is rare and no longer permitted in new builds, Casa Castillo totals approximately 3,750 square feet of covered space. The home currently has three ensuite bedrooms, a powder room, two kitchens and multiple outdoor living/entertaining areas. 

Flexible Design/Property Layout

The options to customize this property to suit your needs are truly endless.

Deep roof extensions easily allow for additional rooms and terraces to be added without needing to expand on the home's original footprint.

The ground level space can be used as a self-contained apartment for rental income or as a guest suite. With road access on two sides of the property, the apartment can easily be accessed from the lower road, affording full privacy between the two units. Given the generous size of the lot, there is room for additional guest homes, a pool, deck, garden, recreational area, and the ability to subdivide the lower half of the property. 

From updating the interior to revitalizing the outdoor space and/or expanding the living areas, let your imagination run wild and transform this blank canvas into the home of your dreams. 

What Mango Realty loves about Casa Castillo is the premium Pelada ridge neighborhood and flexible design possibilities. If you’re looking for expansive views and want to create a masterpiece that is truly your own, take advantage of this affordable offering and reap the endless rewards.
