Casa Colibri is a striking example of tropical modern architecture, located in the prestigious Mar Vista community of Playa Flamingo. The house was designed specifically to bridge the gap between contemporary style and the natural world, using a palette of warm materials like teak wood for the ceilings and custom built-ins. Throughout the interior, you will notice hand-plastered walls and elegant stonework like quartzite and travertine, which give the home a soft, organic texture that holds up well in a coastal environment. The main living area is open and social, centered around a large kitchen with a bar that naturally transitions into the dining room. Large sliding doors lead out to an expansive covered terrace, which serves as the true heart of the home. This outdoor space is fitted with industrial-sized fans to keep things cool, offering a perfect vantage point to look out over the dense forest to the north and west. It is a fantastic spot for watching the local wildlife or just enjoying the quiet of the neighborhood. For the private areas of the house, there are four comfortable bedrooms, each fully equipped with air conditioning and floor-to-ceiling blackout curtains to ensure a good night's rest. The storage is also quite generous, with oversized closets in the rooms and a separate laundry room that includes a large storage room or bodega. Outside, the property is surrounded by gardens specifically designed to attract hummingbirds and butterflies, creating a peaceful and colorful backdrop for the swimming pool. The pool itself is more than just a place to cool off, featuring built-in jets, waterfalls, and a shallow lounge area for relaxing. Choosing a home in Mar Vista means gaining access to a community that prioritizes safety and an active lifestyle. The development is known for its paved roads, 24-hour security, and top-tier amenities including tennis and pickleball courts, a gym, and a network of hiking trails. There is even a well-respected international school right at the community entrance, making it a very practical choice for families. Beyond the gates, you are only a few minutes from the white sands of Playa Flamingo and the new marina. The area is famous for its calm waters and world-class fishing, and you are never far from a great meal or a boutique shop. Casa Colibri offers a rare chance to live in a high-end, secure environment while still feeling completely immersed in the beauty of the Costa Rican forest.
