Private Tropical Compound With Two Houses, Steps From Playa Pelada, Nosara, Costa Rica

$1,190,000 | 3 Bed | 3 Bath | 2 Houses | 1,000 m² Lot (0.25 Acres) | Walk to Beach

Five minutes on foot to Playa Pelada. One minute to the river. And when you’re home, the only thing you hear is the jungle. That’s the balance Pelada Jungle Nest strikes, and it’s the reason properties like this in Nosara’s Pelada neighborhood are becoming almost impossible to find.

This fully furnished tropical compound sits on a 1,000 m² (0.25-acre) gated lot in a quiet residential pocket of Playa Pelada, one of Nosara’s most desirable and least commercialized beach areas. The property consists of two independent houses, both approximately two years old and in excellent condition, surrounded by a mature tropical garden that provides natural shade, privacy, and the feeling of being deep in the jungle while the ocean is a short walk away.

The main house offers two bedrooms, two full bathrooms (one with a bathtub), an open living and dining area, a functional kitchen, laundry area, and a covered terrace overlooking the garden. The spaces are designed for easy coastal living, with natural airflow, soft light, and a layout that moves effortlessly between indoors and out.

The secondary house is a fully independent one-bedroom residence with its own bathroom, kitchen, living area, laundry, and a storage room. It functions as a complete home on its own, whether used for guests, extended family, rental income, or simply as a private space separate from the main house.

Between the two structures, the grounds are where this property comes alive. A spacious shaded porch, a tropical garden dense enough to feel like a private jungle, an above-ground pool nestled within the greenery, an outdoor shower for post-beach afternoons, and private on-site parking. The entire property is gated and secured, creating a sense of enclosure and calm that feels rare this close to the beach.

Playa Pelada is the quieter, more residential side of Nosara’s coastline. No large developments, no tourist density, just a handful of excellent restaurants, local services, and one of the most beautiful coves on the Nicoya Peninsula within walking distance. The area attracts long-term residents and returning visitors who prefer proximity to the ocean without the noise that comes with beachfront zones. Properties in Pelada with walkable beach access, multiple structures, and this level of privacy represent a shrinking inventory that continues to appreciate as Nosara grows.

Pelada Jungle Nest is located in Nosara, on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world’s five certified Blue Zones. Nosara’s local airport is nearby, and Liberia International Airport, with direct flights from major U. S. and Canadian cities, is approximately 1.5 hours by car. Costa Rica guarantees full property ownership rights for foreign buyers, a constitutional provision since 1870.
Three bedrooms. Three bathrooms. Two independent houses. A five-minute walk to the sand. And the kind of quiet that people come to Nosara to find.
