Paseo Miraflores 1404 Las Catalinas, CR

Las Catalinas incorporates the principles of New Urbanism where human connection and environmentalism are priority in design. This concept is accomplished with public plazas, automobile-free streets, shopping boulevards, restaurants, work/study spaces, and marketplaces. Without cars filling the streets, Las Catalinas’ residents enjoy an old-time sense of community, a rarity in today’s world. Because Las Catalinas was designed at scale for biking and walking, homes and buildings make efficient use of space and topography. A walk through town may render thoughts of Antigua in the Carribean, Casco Viejo in Panama, or Vernazza on the Italian coastline. Of the 1,200 acres encompassing Las Catalinas, only 200 acres are planned for development. The remaining 1000 acres of forest is home to exotic birds, howler monkeys, iguanas, and the odd wild cat. Within the reserve, you’ll find thirty-five kilometers of hiking paths and varying degrees of mountain bike trails offering panoramic ocean views along the way. If you’re into water recreation, you’ll love the crystalline waters offshore for snorkeling, stand up paddleboarding, kayaking, bodysurfing, and more. Las Catalinas is an outdoor athlete’s sanctuary with multiple yearly events that gets the whole town involved.

This custom built 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom flat exudes a sophisticated beach vibe and is all about location, location, location! This home is located in the heart of the highly coveted beachfront community of Las Catalinas, Costa Rica. Enjoy all of the restaurants, stores, shops, and even the warms waves of Playa Danta Beach, all of which are only a one-minute walk in any direction from this home. As you enter the home, you will be met with a light and airy feel, and an open concept. The kitchen, dining area, and living room allow you to comfortably entertain and enjoy each other’s company.

The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a large island with a striking custom-built Guanacaste wood top, light tile backsplashes, white washed kitchen cabinets, and custom pendant lighting. The dining area seats seven and is surrounded by an accent wall of light, beachy colors. This area also features a “bonus” room that allows lots of light and ocean air breezes to flow through the home. This space can serves as an office, a sunroom containing beautiful tropical flowers, an arts and crafts room, etc., and features sliding glass doors if more privacy is desired. The principal bedroom allows lots of light, has custom windows that can be opened to allow the fresh breezes to come in, and an en-suite bathroom with double vanity, a rain shower, and custom geometric tile. The third bedroom is extremely versatile. It can be completely connected with the home or—through its independent entry—can be locked off and used as a separate studio to rent as a lucrative short-term vacation rental. The versatility and comfort of this Las Catalinas home make it a rare find at this price point. This home is also conveniently located on one level with zero steps.

Finally, and adding to its amazing location, there are plans by the Las Catalinas developers to build a beautiful green zone/park with gardens, soccer field, and tennis courts that will ultimately be steps from this home. Las Catalinas is a high-end beach town that is reminiscent of a Mediterranean village and surrounded by 1000 areas of dry tropical forests. These forests are home to abundant wildlife and hiking and biking trails, all with excellent ocean view points along the way. Homeowners also have access to the Las Catalina’s Beach Club, which features two pools, a lap pool, a bar and restaurant, a boutique clothing and gift shop, and an air- conditioned gym. Las Catalinas regularly features events, including triathlons, movie nights, and festivals. Las Catalinas is only a 10-minute drive to the new Flamingo Marina, which is now accepting boats into its harbor. It is a 15-minute drive to the private schools of La Paz and the Costa Rica International Academy (“CRIA”), and is a 45-minute drive from the Daniel Oduber International Airport in Liberia, Costa Rica.
