Casa Mariposa: A Rustic Home with Ocean & Jungle Views

Perched in the hills of Ostional, inside the Rayos del Sol community, Casa Mariposa is a two-level rustic home where Pacific Ocean views and the sounds of the Costa Rican jungle meet in a single, cohesive space. Built with a clear connection to the surrounding environment, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence spans 133 m² of construction across two levels, set on a 1,335 m² lot. Its layout is designed for indoor-outdoor living, with terraces on both floors and direct access to the natural landscape that defines this stretch of the Nicoya Peninsula coastline.

Property Highlights

• Building Area: 133 m² (plus terraces) / 1,432 ft²
• Lot Size: 1,335 m² / 0.3 acre
• Bedrooms: 3
• Bathrooms: 3 full

The ground floor houses two private bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom and direct access to the patio and terrace. This level is naturally quiet and separated from the main living areas, making it well-suited for hosting guests or creating a restful space with immediate access to the garden and the sounds of the surrounding vegetation.

The second floor opens to the kitchen, dining area, a full bathroom, and a flexible room that adapts to a third bedroom, home office, or creative studio depending on the needs of the owner. The upper terrace is the standout feature of this level: positioned to face the Pacific, it captures the full breadth of the ocean and jungle views, along with morning light and the coastal breeze that define daily life in Ostional.

Living Areas

Terraces on both floors extend the living space outward, keeping the home in continuous visual and physical contact with the landscape. The shared pool, positioned to face the Pacific, provides a communal retreat within the Rayos del Sol community. Air conditioning in all bedrooms and a dedicated laundry area complete the practical infrastructure of the home.
