Just 5 minutes from downtown Atanas, hidden within the lush beauty of the Central American countryside, lies a sanctuary unlike any other. Welcome to Pica Flora No. 24, a stunning 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath main home with a private guest house, where Balinese inspiration meets tropical serenity. As you pass through handcrafted wooden gates, you're greeted by the sound of still stillness, a crystal-clear swimming pool, and lush exotic gardens that invite you to breathe and be present. Inside, natural materials take center stage. Vaulted wood ceilings, stone accent walls, and custom finishes warm every corner of this open-concept design. The kitchen? A masterpiece with quartz countertops, illuminated cabinetry, and a central island made for connection. The main suite is a retreat in itself, complete with vaulted ceilings, built-in storage, and a luxurious soaking tub, a rare indulgence in Costa Rica. Just across the home, the guest suite opens onto the veranda with peaceful views of the pool and jungle beyond. And then there's the guest house, a fully equipped one-bedroom apartment above an art studio that's ready for creativity or conversion into yet another private suite. Outside, tropical paths twist through secret gardens, revealing quiet spaces for reflection and a private pavilion beneath the trees. This is more than a home. It's a place to slow down, to create, to live the true meaning of pura vida.
