More about this property

Welcome to Cornett Retreat, an extraordinary real estate opportunity located just minutes from the pristine sands and surf of Playa Grande — one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after beach destinations. This unique colonial-style compound spans a beautifully landscaped 1,000m² lot and features four independent living spaces across 350m² of thoughtfully planned construction, making it the perfect blend of charm, flexibility, and income generation.

The main residence offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom — a comfortable and welcoming space for full-time living or vacation rental. A spacious 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment provides excellent potential for long-term or short-term stays, while a cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment adds to the property's rental versatility. Completing the compound is a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom studio that offers privacy and appeal for solo travelers, digital nomads, or vacationers seeking peace and quiet. Each of the four units has its own private entrance, ensuring maximum privacy and flexibility for guests or residents.

The outdoor features of Cornett Retreat are equally impressive. Two traditional ranchos offer covered, open-air spaces ideal for dining, lounging, or entertaining, while the manicured tropical gardens create a serene environment for relaxation and connection with nature. The entire property is designed for privacy and function, giving each unit its own sense of space while maintaining a cohesive, welcoming atmosphere.

One of Cornett Retreat’s most exciting opportunities lies in its potential for expansion. An adjacent 1,000m² lot is available for purchase at just $100,000 — ideal for building additional units, adding a pool, or expanding your rental or hospitality business in this high-demand area.

Just a 10-minute drive to the beach, Cornett Retreat combines the convenience of proximity to Playa Grande with the tranquility of a private compound. Whether you’re looking to run a boutique rental business, live in one unit while renting the rest, or create a multi-generational living space, this property offers unmatched versatility and potential in a highly desirable coastal location.
