Location: Uvita, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Casa Meraki is a modern tropical luxury home for sale in Uvita, Costa Rica, offering panoramic Pacific Ocean, sunset, and Whale’s Tail views from a private front-ridge setting. Completed in 2021, the fully turnkey property includes a two-bedroom main residence and a separate one-bedroom casita, creating a total of three bedrooms and three full bathrooms. Its position at approximately 420 feet of elevation delivers an exceptional outlook while remaining just two minutes from central Uvita.
This combination of elevated privacy and everyday convenience is one of Casa Meraki’s defining advantages. Restaurants, urgent care, grocery stores, farmers markets, and other essential services are only minutes away, while seven beaches along the Costa Ballena coastline are within a short drive. The gated property is reached by a private concrete driveway with easy 2WD access, making daily life notably practical for a mountain home with expansive ocean views.
Architecture Designed Around the Landscape
Inspired by the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright, Casa Meraki was designed to celebrate the relationship between architecture and nature. The main living areas flow continuously on one level, while protected transitions connect the carport, residence, and outdoor spaces. High ceilings, natural ventilation, and passive-cooling features enhance comfort in both the main house and casita.
At the center of the main residence, matching 13-foot accordion-door systems open opposite sides of the living space. One side faces the Pacific Ocean, outdoor dining terrace, and infinity pool; the other opens toward the garden, jungle, and mountain backdrop. Most doors and windows stand approximately eight feet tall and were custom fabricated with high-grade Extralum systems, allowing abundant natural light and an uninterrupted visual connection with the surroundings.
A 17-foot-deep roof overhang extends along the full length of the home, creating a substantial covered living area that remains usable in changing weather. Oceanfront storms, warm tropical rain, and vivid sunsets can all be experienced from a protected setting without interrupting dinner or time spent outdoors.
Constructed by an experienced regional builder, Casa Meraki incorporates reinforced block-and-steel construction, retaining walls integrated with the foundation, and enhanced attention to earthquake standards. These structural considerations support the home’s open architecture while providing an important measure of reassurance for long-term ownership.
Ocean Views in Front, Intimate Gardens Behind
The Pacific-facing terrace is organized around a large infinity pool, outdoor dining, and generous entertaining areas overlooking Marino Ballena National Park and its iconic Whale’s Tail formation. The setting works equally well for quiet mornings, afternoons by the pool, or dinners shared against the changing colors of the ocean and sky.
Behind the main living areas, the experience becomes more intimate. A landscaped patio centers on an illuminated rock wall with gently moving water and a shallow reflecting pool. A reclining Buddha adds a contemplative focal point, while the surrounding gardens draw hummingbirds and butterflies. Ocean views remain visible from this quieter side of the home, framed by the neighboring jungle and mountain landscape.
The main house offers two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom, while the second full bathroom serves the additional bedroom and living areas. A large walk-in pantry supports the kitchen, and the thoughtful single-level arrangement makes movement between cooking, dining, relaxing, and outdoor living feel natural.
A Private Casita and Turnkey Convenience
The separate casita contains a private bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, giving visiting family and friends their own comfortable space. Its independent layout also provides flexibility for rental use, with documented five-star guest reviews reflecting its established appeal.
Casa Meraki is equipped with legal ASADA water, underground fiber-optic internet, and two electrical meters. The property is conveyed fully furnished and turnkey, including the furniture, appliances, kitchenware, fine linens, beach towels, and other household essentials shown with the home, excluding only the owners’ personal belongings.
The name Meraki refers to creating something with soul, creativity, and love. Here, that idea can be felt in the home’s purposeful architecture, the transition from ocean to garden, and the unusual ease of living close to Uvita while enjoying the privacy and perspective of an elevated tropical setting.
