Casa Melina A Mountain Sanctuary 15 Min to the Beach

In the quiet hills of Santa Marta, Casa Melina rests among trees and mountain light, a contemporary home that blends modern comfort with Costa Rica’s natural rhythm. Completed in 2025, this single story residence spans 164 m² (1 765 ft²) on a 1 191 m² (0.29 acre) lot framed by jungle and distant ridgelines. A sense of calm begins at the entry. High ceilings, polished teak, and smooth floors open into an airy open concept living space where kitchen, dining, and lounge flow together. The kitchen anchors the home with custom cabinetry and beautiful quartz counters. From here, light and breeze move freely through large glass doors that reveal views of the green valley below. The atmosphere is effortless and refined. The living and dining areas invite conversation and quiet moments alike, with natural light shifting gently through the day. Beyond the glass, the wraparound porch becomes the soul of the house, a place for morning coffee, yoga, or long afternoons spent listening to birdsong and rustling leaves. Just beyond, a private pool reflects the sky and mountains, offering a cool pause beneath the warmth of the sun. Three bedrooms provide comfort and privacy. The primary suite feels serene, its large windows framing the hills, with a spacious bathroom featuring a rainfall shower that echoes the rhythm of the nearby forest. The guest rooms carry the same tranquil simplicity, ideal for friends or family. Each space breathes, cooled by mountain air and soft cross ventilation, with air conditioning in all rooms for added comfort. With exceptional craftsmanship and durable materials, Casa Melina offers a perfect blend of strength and style. Teak, steel, concrete, and glass unite in a design that feels both secure and serene, enhanced by modern comforts like security cameras and generous parking. Life here moves at an unhurried pace. Mornings begin with the scent of coffee on the porch, afternoons drift between the pool and shade, and evenings bring the sound of rain on the roof and the glow of sunset across the hills. It is a home designed not only to live in but to feel. Located minutes from Playa Sámara and Playa Carrillo, Casa Melina offers quick access to the coast while preserving the peace of mountain life. Sámara’s friendly beach town energy and Carrillo’s pristine shoreline are close enough for daily visits yet distant enough to keep nights quiet under the stars. Casa Melina embodies a simple truth: luxury here is space, silence, and connection. It is a place where design meets nature, where modern living folds into pura vida ease, a mountain retreat that feels timeless and completely at home in Guanacaste. In addition to Casa Melina, buyers have the rare opportunity to acquire the adjoining lot, a beautiful parcel of just over 1,000 m², ideal for added privacy, expansion, or a future guest home. This extra lot is available for an additional $79,000, offering even more space to enjoy the tranquil mountain setting and lush surroundings.
