Aa distinctive two-bedroom home set among the treetops in Balcones de Majagual, north of San Juan del Sur. Ocean views open through the jungle canopy, while the architecture makes the forest, coveredterrace, and natural airflow part of the daily living space.
The property provides approximately 2,098 square feet, or 195 square meters, of combined indoor and outdoor living. Soaring ceilings, polished concrete floors, Japanese-inspired sliding doors, custom woodwork, and natural stone give the house a strong identity without making it feel formal.
Both bedrooms are spacious suites with storage, stone-finished private bathrooms, and views toward either the ocean or the surrounding forest. The main living and dining area opens almost completely to the large terrace, creating one connected space for relaxing, working, or hosting friends.
Screens and high ceilings are used to move air through the home, so the design relies on natural ventilation rather than air conditioning. That approach is central to the character of Casa Selva and will appeal most to someone who wants a close connection to the tropical setting.
A shared 15-meter infinity pool sits just steps from the house and looks across the jungle toward the Pacific. The pool is shared by only five homes, giving owners access to a substantial swimming and lounging area without the maintenance of a private pool.
Casa Selva also has an established short-term rental profile, with more than 125 five-star guest reviews and past recognition from Airbnb for its design. The layout and location could continue to work as a vacation rental, but the home is equally suited to seasonal stays or full-time living for someone comfortable with its open-air design.
Playa Maderas and Playa Majagual are only minutes away, while central San Juan del Sur is roughly 10 to 15 minutes by vehicle. A 4x4 is required for the final 800 meters of access, which is an important practical consideration during the green season.
