Villa Shanti - Modern Jungle Living Near Samara Beach

Villa Shanti is a private tropical estate located just 1.2 km from the center of Samara, where shops, dining, and the beach are easily reached yet remain gently removed from daily life at the property. Set within a quiet residential pocket of Buena Vista, the home occupies a natural setting that feels sheltered, mature, and distinctly established. The entirely flat 8,005 m² parcel, approximately 2 acres, is a defining attribute. In an area where sloped terrain is the norm, the level land creates a sense of openness and ease that is immediately apparent. Mature fruit trees, layered tropical foliage, and open garden spaces surround the structures, forming a secluded jungle setting animated by birds, butterflies, and regular wildlife activity. Howler monkeys, coatis, deer, and tropical birds move through the landscape, reinforcing the feeling of being immersed within nature rather than positioned beside it. Completed in 2023, the architecture is custom, modern, and entirely single level. The design emphasizes comfort, flow, and restraint, resulting in a home that feels both composed and livable. Its thoughtful integration with the surrounding environment has been recognized in a design magazine, reflecting the balance between contemporary architecture and tropical context. Natural light moves freely through the interiors, while wide openings frame garden paths and greenery. With approximately 375 m² of interior living space, roughly 4,000 ft², the estate is composed of a main residence, a separate guest house, and an independent guest container casita designed for private rental use. Across the three structures there are ten bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two outdoor showers. This configuration allows the property to function comfortably as a primary residence, a multi generational retreat, or a discreet income producing compound. The guest cargo container operates independently, with its own access and privacy, enabling consistent rental activity without impacting the main living areas. Modern systems and finishes are integrated throughout. American grade appliances, on demand water heaters, fiber optic internet, split air conditioning, and efficient DC ceiling fans provide year round comfort and reliability. The estate is fully furnished and equipped, supporting immediate occupancy or seamless continuation of rental operations. Outdoor living is central to daily life at Villa Shanti. A 32 m² swimming pool finished in refined herringbone tile sits within the gardens, catching the sun throughout the day and reflecting the surrounding greenery in the softer afternoon light. Meandering paths connect a productive food forest with more than 100 mature fruit trees, including banana, mango, cacao, jackfruit, citrus, and pineapple. An indoor outdoor soaking tub offers a quiet place to unwind in the evening, accompanied by forest sounds and filtered starlight. Villa Shanti presents a balance that is increasingly rare near Samara. Privacy without isolation, contemporary design without excess, and a natural environment that feels settled rather than newly introduced. The estate is well suited to full time living, extended family use, or refined rental income, all within minutes of one of Costa Rica’s most desirable beach towns.
