Description

Villa Ylang Ylang is a distinguished private estate set on approximately 4,000 m² of mature jungle gardens in Cocles, Puerto Viejo, on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast. This multi-residence property combines residential sophistication with flexible use potential, offering both personal enjoyment and income-generation opportunities within a culturally rich and environmentally preserved region. The main residence is a custom-designed two-bedroom home that seamlessly blends craftsmanship with natural surroundings. Expansive living areas, a thoughtfully appointed kitchen, and refined finishes create a composed interior environment. Large openings extend the living experience outward, encouraging a fluid indoor-outdoor rhythm suited to the tropical climate and setting. The layout prioritizes comfort and ease, allowing residents to fully embrace the natural environment while maintaining refined comfort. The property includes two additional two-bedroom guest casitas, each fully equipped with independent kitchens and open-concept living areas. Strategically positioned to preserve privacy between structures, they function as self-contained residences while remaining part of the larger estate. This configuration supports diverse uses—hosting family and friends, multigenerational living arrangements, or a structured short-term or long-term rental approach. The grounds are defined by active tropical landscaping and a natural creek that borders the property, creating distinct visual and sensory boundaries. The environment is alive with wildlife: toucans, macaws, monkeys, and other native species move through the surrounding canopy, deepening the connection to place. Evenings bring a distinctive fragrance—ylang-ylang blossoms drifting through the air, a note famously used in Chanel No. 5—anchoring the experience in something both sensory and memorable. Located within the indigenous zone in Cocles, minutes from Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, the property provides easy access to beaches, dining, and the broader cultural character of the Caribbean coast. The area is known for its blend of natural beauty, cultural depth, and international community, offering a setting that remains grounded in place while attracting diverse interests. Ownership within the indigenous zone requires informed navigation of local structures and regulations. We provide guidance on the considerations and opportunities associated with this designation, ensuring clients make well-informed decisions. For buyers seeking a private estate that combines flexibility, environmental integrity, and a profound connection to both land and culture, this property presents a compelling opportunity.
