Blue Wave | Jungle and Mountain View Home

There is a rhythm to San Juanillo that you notice within the first hour. The fishing boats come in, the neighbors know each other by name, and the jungle keeps the afternoon cool. Blue Wave sits inside that rhythm, on half an acre of flat land framed by mountain and jungle views, four minutes from the beach and directly across from a wellness retreat that draws people from all over the world. This is a home for someone who wants Costa Rica’s Pacific coast without the crowds that come with the better known towns.

The Home

Blue Wave offers 80 m² (861 ft²) of carefully optimized living space on a lot of 2,007.04 m² (21,603 ft², 0.50 acres). The layout includes one bedroom, one full bathroom, and a mezzanine reached by a spiral staircase that doubles as the home’s central architectural feature. With the sofa bed in the living room, the house comfortably sleeps six, and it is offered fully furnished.

The interiors pair handcrafted teak furniture with metal detailing, and the spaces stay open, bright, and well ventilated throughout. German windows provide thermal and acoustic insulation, matched by insulation in the roof. The kitchen is modern, equipped with an induction cooktop and oven. The electrical system runs in copper from the meter to the house, and the materials were selected to keep long term maintenance low.

Outdoor Living

A tiled swimming pool operates on an automated dual salt and chlorine system with quiet equipment. The social area includes a rancho with a bar and a dedicated outdoor BBQ zone, surrounded by gardens and jungle. The lot is flat and open, with room remaining for an expansion of the existing house or for a second structure, subject to confirmation of setbacks and permitting.

The Location

Blue Wave is located in San Juanillo, in the Cuajiniquil district of Guanacaste’s Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world’s five certified Blue Zones. From the property, you are four minutes from San Juanillo’s beach, eight minutes from the Ostional Wildlife Refuge where the olive ridley turtles arrive to nest, and twenty minutes from Nosara, the area’s hub for dining, wellness, and its established international community. Liberia International Airport, with direct flights from major cities in the United States and Canada, is approximately an hour and a half by car.

The home sits on a public road with easy year round access, directly across from Hacienda del Sol. The surrounding neighborhood has been home to foreign residents for more than thirty years, which gives the area a settled, familiar feel rather than a transitional one.

Why It Holds Value

Two things make Blue Wave worth looking at beyond its use as a residence. The first is the land. At 0.50 acres and completely flat, there is real room to expand the existing house or add a second structure, whether as a guest house or as a separate rental unit. The second is timing. Guanacaste recorded 28% growth in real estate transactions in 2024, and the San Juanillo and Ostional corridor remains priced well below the established markets further north.

Good to Know

Costa Rica guarantees full property ownership rights to foreign buyers, a constitutional provision in place since 1870. Water service is supplied by the local ASADA. The home includes one covered parking space and is sold fully furnished, ready to occupy. Offered at $329,000 USD.

Some places ask you to adapt to them. San Juanillo is not one of them. You wake up to the jungle, you reach the ocean in four minutes, and the rest of the day belongs to you. Blue Wave is small by design, and that is exactly what makes it work.
