Residencia Altamar

Simply put, there is nothing else like this in Nosara. This private, gated estate welcomes you with its own entrance and a paved driveway that winds through an enchanting forest, opening to Residencia Altamar, perfectly perched above Playa Garza. The property spans six acres, all exclusively yours. The only sounds here are those of nature, and your backdrop is a sweeping, dramatic view of the Pacific Ocean.

Properties offering this kind of elevation, privacy, and serenity are usually found far away from Nosara. Yet from Residencia Altamar, you are just five minutes to the turquoise waters of Playa Garza and ten minutes to the heart of Playa Guiones.

Playa Garza, part of the greater Nosara community, is a charming fishing village only minutes from Guiones. If you love Nosara but prefer something quieter than the buzz of tourists and vacation rentals, Garza is where you’ll find it. The town is growing at an easy, authentic pace, each year welcoming a new, thoughtfully crafted addition. You’ll find wonderful restaurants ranging from beachfront cantinas to relaxed lounge style dining, organic markets, and even a private Waldorf school attended by many local families. [hidden information]

Spend your days surfing in Guiones and taking in its vibrant scene, then retreat over the hill to Playa Garza, where you can buy fresh fish straight from the incoming boats or enjoy ceviche from the local fish market stand. This is pure Costa Rica, where even the cows occasionally slow traffic, and everyone greets you with a smile.

The beaches below your home are known for their turquoise waters and calm tidal pools, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. For fishing enthusiasts there are several charter boats, with tuna and mahi-mahi commonly caught just offshore. The surrounding landscape is classic coastal Costa Rica, with open cattle pastures and horses grazing nearby, adding to the area’s natural charm and authenticity.

If peace, privacy, and an exceptional quality of life are what you’re seeking, Residencia Altamar and its surrounding land deliver it. An additional 6.5 acres is also available upon request, offering the rare chance to create a true multi-generational legacy estate.

The residence includes a grand main house with two bedrooms, plus two separate ocean-view studios. There are dedicated quarters for household staff, and a guardhouse at the main gate where the gardener currently resides.
