Property overview

A bohemian two-bedroom home on the Rio Baru — 5 minutes from Dominical town, 2 minutes on foot to the river, and accessible via a scenic riverside drive that sets the tone for the property before you arrive. Built by a North American craftsman and updated throughout, the home features rich wood beams and ceilings, intricate bamboo details, and animated tile work — a property with genuine artistic identity in the Southern Pacific market. The upper floor is the main living level: open-concept kitchen and living room, a generous swimming pool just outside the front door, a wraparound hardwood deck with old-growth jungle views, and a picture window framing the coastal mountains. The lower level is a fully independent suite with 1 bedroom, full kitchen, and 2 bathrooms — functional as a guest residence, a long-term rental while you live above, or a separate Airbnb unit generating its own income stream. Covered carport parking is attached. Wildlife is consistent: white-face and howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, and significant bird and butterfly species are regular daily visitors. Dominical's surf, restaurants, and town services are 5 minutes away. The location sits roughly equidistant from Quepos and Manuel Antonio (marina, airport, hospital) to the north and the Uvita and Ballena coast to the south. Turnkey and ready to occupy or rent immediately — a dual-level river property with a private pool, independent lower suite, and 5-minute access to Dominical, at a price point where the artistic character is part of the value rather than a discount.
