Rustic coastal cottage, hand-built details
La Casita
$249,000 · fully furnished, move-in ready
Character
A two-story wall set with glass bottle bottoms throws light in patterns all day, with diamond breeze-block vents above. Custom teak staircase with open live-edge treads and carved handrail. Vaulted woven cane-and-bamboo ceiling on exposed rafters upstairs; exposed brick feature walls and lime-washed stucco. Thatched palapa awnings on bamboo over every window; divided-light teak casement windows; solid teak entry door with keypad smart lock.
Outdoor living
396 ft² of covered outdoor space — more than a third of the house again. North balcony, 7.5 m × 3.1 m, with ceiling fan, hammock and treetop views under a deep overhang. East-facing outdoor kitchen, 5.2 m × 2.6 m — new backsplash, new refrigerator and gas range, shaded through the afternoon and evening.
The land
Fully fenced and genuinely private — no neighbors looking in. Established fruit trees and plantings — papaya, banana, mango, lime, coffee, cacao and more — plus flowering hibiscus. Curving paths edged in white curbing, stone driveway. Ample open ground for gardens, more trees, or a second structure served by the property’s separate rear entrance. Separately titled.
Turnkey
Sleeps five — queen plus twin-over-double bunk; beds, sofas, TV, dining table, washer and dryer all included. Built 2019, metal roof with full gutters. Fiber internet, gas whole-house hot water, wired for 220 V so A/C splits can be added without rewiring. Has run as a guest house and short-term rental — a working income unit, or private quarters alongside Casa Grande.
