US$398,000.00Price
Discover the perfect blend of modern design, sustainability, and tropical living in this exceptional 1,028 sq. ft. container home nestled on the rural side of Bahía/Uvita. Just four minutes to town center and a 15-minute stroll to an idyllic beach within the Marino Ballena National Park, Casa Secreta offers the rare benefit of seclusion without sacrificing convenience. Your Hidden Homebase The entrance is virtually invisible from the road, accessed via a flat, landscaped driveway that culminates at an electric privacy gate bordered by a 12’ privacy wall—your first indication that this is a truly private and safe sanctuary. Once inside, the soundscape tells the story: no highway noise, yet close enough to hear waves crashing at night. Expansion Potential Sitting on a large completely flat lot (1,133m2/.28 acres), Casa Secreta offers something increasingly rare in Bahía/Uvita… genuine room to expand. Add a guest house, a large swimming pool, or additional structures without restriction. Unlike many homes in Bahia that are jammed into small lots, Casa Secreta has a healthy setback from the property boundaries giving you room to breathe. Sustainable Innovation Through Upcycling Casa Secreta is a masterclass in responsible and creative design. Built from two forty-foot insulated shipping containers, this stainless-steel home (think- no rust) transforms industrial materials into luxurious living space. Even the carport roof was cleverly repurposed from a salvaged container section—a testament to the philosophy that waste becomes wonder. The whole structure is elevated on anchored footers reducing pest concerns and saturated grounds during heavy rain. The Living Experience The composite deck and mature landscaping wrap the front of the home. Stepping through the sliding doors, you are immediately captivated by the twenty-four-inch slate gray tile and chic urban design. The ceiling vaults to multicolored sliding windows that add a bohemian visual touch throughout the day. The custom island has four Cristobal hardwood chairs and serves to connect the kitchen and living room. A Cristobal love seat and matching table sit opposite a built-in desk area, creating flexible spaces for work and leisure. Bedrooms and bathrooms occupy opposite sides of the floor plan, ensuring privacy and convenience. Currently used as a home office, the guest bedroom (with enough space to accommodate a queen-sized bed) overlooks the backyard bordered by tall trees and includes a floor-to-ceiling closet and air conditioning unit. The guest bathroom is bright and inviting, featuring a tiled shower and sink. The master suite is your personal retreat: a large room with a king-size bed centered between two windows framing a leafy backyard view and an air conditioner. A sliding glass door opens to a private master terrace, highlighted by a gorgeous bathtub enhanced by candlelight and LED up-lighting in the garden. The large, master walk-in closet lines one entire side of the hallway leading to the master bath. It has a shower with opaque glass door that connects to the master deck. Modern Comforts & Smart Systems The chef’s kitchen features a gas stove and a window overlooking dappled afternoon light through the trees. Solar hot water heating reduces energy costs, whilst PEX plumbing ensures reliability. The Ring security system (window/door sensors, motion detection, and app monitoring) adds another layer of comfort. Finally, safety lights automatically illuminate the great room when the power goes out. Casa Secreta is more than an affordable home; it’s a philosophy made tangible. Modern, sustainable, private, and purposefully positioned between diverse nature and convenient living. Land Size: .28 acres/1,133m2
