A Home Designed in Harmony with Nature
Organically designed around a beautiful Guácimo tree and shaded by towering Guanacaste trees, Casa Manigua blends thoughtful contemporary architecture with its lush tropical surroundings.
Situated within the exclusive gated community of Las Ventanas, just a five-minute drive from the world-class surf breaks of Playa Grande, this turnkey residence offers a lifestyle shaped by privacy, bio-architectural character, and effortless indoor-outdoor flow.
Completed in 2025, Casa Manigua features 691 m² (7,437.8 sq ft) of under-roof living space on a generous 2,225 m² lot. Exposed beams and expansive glass create bright, airy interiors, while warm local wood and natural stone give the home an inviting, grounded character.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow & Outdoor Living
Everyday life unfolds seamlessly between the interior living spaces and the lush backyard. The heart of Casa Manigua is its glass-roofed terrace—offering nearly 500 sq ft of covered outdoor living space situated beneath the tree canopy.
Equipped with heat-reflective Solar-E glass and ceiling fans, the space stays cool and comfortable rain or shine. A full outdoor kitchen anchors the area, featuring a marine-grade Broilmaster grill and griddle built to withstand the coastal salt air.
Bioclimatic Design & Natural Cooling:
Mature Tree Canopy: Native Guanacaste trees shade the roof and structure.
Soaring Ceilings: Rise up to 6 meters (nearly 20 feet), allowing heat to lift far above the living areas.
Grey-Tinted Glass & Deep Overhangs: Cut glare and minimize solar heat gain.
Cross-Ventilation: Screened doors and windows allow coastal breezes to move through naturally, supported by full air conditioning throughout for hotter days.
Fine Craftsmanship & Premium Finishes
Custom furniture crafted by local carpenters complements solid wood cabinetry throughout.
Natural stone countertops and backsplashes add texture and depth to the kitchen and baths.
Spanish tile, German-engineered GROHE fixtures, and a complete high-end appliance package round out a carefully curated selection of finishes.
Bedroom Layout & Private Guest Wing
Master Suite: Features a solid teak king bed, a walk-in closet built entirely from solid teak, and a walkout private patio offering jungle views. The master bath is a spa-like retreat with teak accents, a his-and-hers shower, a private water closet behind a sliding door, and copper fixtures.
Secondary Bedrooms: Two spacious bedrooms—ideal for children or guests—share a beautifully finished full bathroom featuring custom cabinetry and a double vanity.
Private Guest Wing (Casita Feel): Located on the opposite side of the main home, the fourth bedroom features a stunning en-suite bath and overlooks the garden. Adjacent to it, an enclosed office offers a quiet workspace with jungle views, easily convertible into a home gym or a 5th bedroom to maximize occupancy.
Outdoor Amenities & Private Jungle Sanctuary
Private Pool: Measures 30 m² (320 sq ft) with a depth of 1.8 m (6 ft), finished in Indonesian Sukabumi stone and Coralina accents.
