Experience All the Amenities of Quepos and Manuel Antonio From the Peaceful Comfort of Casa Billfish.
In Quepos, the arresting foliage that encloses this renowned harbor town permeates an engrossing sense of calmness. A quick 10-minute drive up towards the hillside transforms the lively seafood restaurants, bars, and hotels characteristic of this Central Pacific settlement into abundant greenery and a captivating mountain view. Amidst these peaceful surroundings lies the Finca Gloriana community, where the newly-built Casa Billfish stands out as one of its current highlights.
Sitting at the pinnacle of an acre and a quarter of land, the house is surrounded by expansive gardens featuring an expertly selected assortment of tropical fruit trees, colorful ornamental plants, fresh herbs, and beautiful flowers. The area is being terraced as a way to maximize the usable space for potential further development.
The first thing that pops out from Casa Billfish’s facade are its instantly recognizable window bars, boasting playful and intricate maritime designs that are the property’s namesake. The elegantly eclectic architecture and muted color palette seamlessly integrate the house’s outer wooden details, while simultaneously enriching the impact of the vast gardens by way of its contrast.
The house’s entry leads directly into its beautiful living area, which makes the most of the property’s privileged natural lighting by an inspired use of glass doors and windows. A comfortable lounge that continues the wooden motif in its cabinets and shelves, and a stylish kitchen that tastefully harmonizes the metallic and matte finish of its steel appliances with luxurious marble countertops and a large central island, neighbor each other within the open floor plan.
A full bathroom and a laundry room lead the way towards the guest bedroom, where another metallic billfish greets us from the window as sunlight washes over the bed. The primary bedroom is equipped with its own A/C, has a comfortable walk-in closet, and a gorgeous en suite bathroom with stunning marble details. The room also has an advantageous view of the gardens, with its own direct access to the outdoor terrace, an ideal place for BBQs and enjoying the sunset with a good coffee.
Besides the house itself, the Casa Billfish property has enough additional space and the perfect topography to comfortably accommodate a pool, a guesthouse, a workshop, or some combination of those. With such a myriad of opportunities for tinkering and personalizing, this cozy personal residence can be immediately kick-started into an enticing vacation rental proposition, if one were so inclined. After all, Finca Gloriana is a mere 5 minutes away from Quepos' La Managua Airport, from where many tourists arrive in local flights to visit neighboring Manuel Antonio.
With an enviable private location with well-valued properties in the immediate area, and the stamp of excellence inherent to a project of acclaimed local builder David Garro, Casa Billfish provides both the assured quality of a family home ready to be inhabited, and the potential added value to make it a solid investment in one of Costa Rica’s premier tourist areas.
