Long Description
Tucked within the lush jungle of Playa Chiquita, Casa Madera offers a rare opportunity to own a private rainforest property on titled land, in one of the most desirable locations on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. Thoughtfully designed to embrace the surrounding nature, this home balances comfort and simplicity, where open-air living meets modern convenience.

High ceilings and an expansive 74 m² wrap-around deck create an airy, open feel, inviting natural light and breezes to flow through.

Outdoor Living & Natural Beauty
Casa Madera is designed to take full advantage of its stunning natural surroundings. The in-ground pool is the perfect place to cool off, with a shaded lounge area offering all-day relaxation. A large greenhouse with a 750-liter rainwater catchment system allows you to grow fresh produce year-round, while a 5,000-liter water storage system ensures a reliable water supply.
The gardens surrounding the home are alive with the sights and sounds of the jungle. Toucans, howler monkeys, and sloths are frequent visitors, making everyday life feel like an immersion in nature. Mature trees provide shade and privacy, while tropical flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
