Pica Flora Number 24—Stunning 2/2.5 Pool Home With Guest House In Atenas, Costa Rica

Open concept. Number 24 is perfectly laid out with two entrances, a more traditional front door entryway or an unassuming courtyard entrance that creates a dramatic first impression as you enter the double wood gates and are met by the sounds of peace and tranquility with an inviting swimming pool and lush tropical gardens. A large kitchen with center island and breakfast bar opens on to the living areas. An abundance of natural materials like wood beams and tongue-and-groove ceilings as well as natural rock accent wall, all adding warmth to this home with their organic patterns and color variations. There are wall-to-wall, custom-made sliding glass doors that overlook the covered, wrap-around veranda, swimming pool, and exotic gardens.

Custom kitchen.  The beautiful, custom kitchen offers handcrafted wood cabinetry that features upper cabinets with glass doorfronts that are expertly lit, solid surface quartz countertops, a center island and breakfast bar, as well as a stainless-steel appliance package.

Master bedroom.  The main bedroom suite is located at one end of the house, creating an ideal split-plan layout.  This suite is spacious with vaulted wood ceilings and a large sliding glass door that opens on to the covered veranda with lovely views of the interior courtyard. A large stone wall with built-in niches separates the ensuite bathroom, which features a large vanity, walk-in shower and soaking bathtub, a rarity in Costa Rica.  There’s an entire wall of well-organized, built-in closets providing an abundance of storage space. 

Guest Bedroom Suite. At the other end of the home there’s a spacious bedroom suite with built-in closet and ensuite bathroom. Like the main master bedroom, the guest suite opens on to the covered veranda with beautiful views of the swimming pool and tropical surroundings.

Guest house.  Next to the main house, you’ll find a large, well-designed two-story structure that flows seamlessly into the main residence.  The first floor has been designed as an art studio/workshop/garage combo.  There’s a half bathroom as well as a large utility sink, with plumbing and wiring that would allow this space to be converted into an additional guest suite.  The entire upstairs is a one-bedroom, studio-style guest apartment, complete with kitchen, custom wood cabinetry and countertops, spacious bathroom, walk-in closet and laundry area.  In addition, a cozy covered balcony overlooks the interior courtyard and majestic mountains beyond.

Outdoors.  The exotic, tropical gardens are one of the highlights of this stunning property. The main house and guest studio create a secret inner sanctuary where you’ll find an inviting swimming pool and several layers of lush tropical gardens.  The garden paths weave in and out, leading to hidden corners and a small covered pavilion, all of which are ideal for quiet moments of reflection and meditation.
