Villa Shanti is a private tropical estate located just 1.2 km from the center of Samara, offering easy access to shops, dining, and the beach while remaining quietly removed from daily activity. Set within a residential pocket of Buena Vista, the property feels established, sheltered, and immersed in nature.
The entirely flat 8,005 m2 (approximately 2-acre) parcel is a rare feature in an area dominated by sloped terrain. Mature fruit trees, layered tropical foliage, and open garden spaces surround the structures, creating a secluded jungle environment animated by birds, butterflies, and regular wildlife, including howler monkeys, coatis, deer, and tropical birds.
Completed in 2023, the custom architecture is modern and entirely single level, designed for comfort, flow, and livability. The home's thoughtful integration with its surroundings has been recognized in a design magazine, highlighting the balance between contemporary architecture and tropical context. With approximately 375 m2 (4,000 ft2) of interior living space, the estate includes a main residence, a separate guest house, and an independent guest container casita designed for private rental use.
Across the three structures are ten bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two outdoor showers, allowing the property to function as a primary residence, multi-generational retreat, or income-producing compound. The guest container operates independently with its own access and privacy.
Modern systems include American-grade appliances, on-demand water heaters, fiber-optic internet, split air conditioning, and DC ceiling fans. The estate is fully furnished and equipped for immediate occupancy or continued rental use.
Outdoor living centers around a 32 m2 swimming pool finished in herringbone tile, surrounded by gardens and a productive food forest with over 100 mature fruit trees. Villa Shanti offers a rare balance of privacy, contemporary design, and a settled natural environment, all just minutes from one of Costa Rica's most desirable beach towns.
