Casa Artista – Thoughtfully Designed Retreat in Playa Negra

In a gated entrance on one of Playa Negra’s most sought-after streets sits Casa Artista. Contemporary architecture, lush gardens, and effortless indoor-outdoor living come together in perfect balance. Just a 15-minute walk from the beach, the property offers exceptional privacy and modern comforts. The property adapts beautifully to full-time living, vacation use, an artist’s residency, or income generation.

Landscaped pathways connect two independent modules, creating a home that balances connection and privacy while creating an intuitive flow. Every space has been carefully considered. As a result, form and function work seamlessly together. Envisioned as a private residence, an artist’s retreat, a remote-work sanctuary, or a boutique rental investment, Casa Artista adapts beautifully to a variety of lifestyles

Inspired Living, Inside and Out

The heart of the home is an exceptional open-concept kitchen and social module, where soaring wood-clad ceilings, exposed steel beams, carefully selected finishes, and thoughtfully curated furnishings, artwork, and decorative pieces create a warm, contemporary atmosphere. 

From here, the living area opens completely toward the gardens. It intentionally frames the sunset each evening while blurring the line between indoors and nature. Every corner of the home has been designed to celebrate the surrounding landscape, offering tranquil jungle views whether you’re preparing a meal, relaxing with a book, or simply beginning your morning routine.

The kitchen offers an exceptionally functional workflow that comfortably accommodates multiple people cooking together. Originally conceived as a space for intimate cooking classes and shared culinary experiences, it features generous preparation areas while maintaining a connection to the dining and lounge spaces.

In addition, a fully enclosed pantry and laundry room discreetly houses the refrigerator, storage, laundry facilities, and household essentials, allowing the main living area to remain uncluttered and visually refined without sacrificing practicality. There is also a conveniently located powder room within the open module that provides comfort for guests without entering the private bedroom quarters.

Together, these thoughtfully designed spaces create a home that feels open, joyful, inspiring, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

A Flexible Private Retreat

The separate bedroom module provides peaceful privacy from the home’s social spaces and includes:

• Spacious primary bedroom with beautiful wood-clad vaulted ceilings 
• Second bedroom, currently configured as a bright office and creative studio
• One full bathroom with a double shower
• Air conditioning throughout the bedroom module
• Warm wood flooring in bedroom
• Large windows and sliding glass doors overlooking the surrounding gardens
• Abundant natural light and excellent cross-ventilation


Whether used for guests, remote work, or creative pursuits, the flexible layout allows the home to evolve with your needs.


Surrounding the residence is an exceptional collection of established landscaping that creates beauty, privacy, and year-round colour. The property features an impressive variety of ornamental and edible plantings, including Bismarck and Traveller’s palms, flowering bougainvilleas, roses, ylang-ylang, cacao, avocado, jackfruit, cempedak, mandarin, passionfruit vines, and a selection of edible greens.

The gardens regularly attract howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, hummingbirds, butterflies, and other local wildlife, creating an ever-changing backdrop just beyond your windows.

Morning coffee is best enjoyed from the garden seating area as the sun rises, while evenings naturally gravitate toward the west-facing living room, designed to capture spectacular sunsets.


Designed With the Future in Mind


Included in the sale are professionally prepared concept designs for a third module, a natural swimming pool, an outdoor soaking bathtub, and a backyard deck. These designs illustrate how the property can evolve over time, maximizing the use of the land while introducing additional spaces for relaxation, entertaining, and everyday enjoyment, all in harmony with the home’s existing architectural character.

Whether creating a private guest suite, a wellness retreat, or increasing rental capacity, the groundwork has already been imagined for the property’s next chapter.
