**This charming custom-built home blends the rustic charm of a log cabin with the allure of a tropical paradise. The 1,173 sq ft residence is nestled on 1.25 acres of land, surrounded by mature, shady trees that create a secluded atmosphere, yet it’s only a few minutes from the vibrant community of Villareal and just seven minutes from the sandy shores of Tamarindo Beach. **Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a deep, covered porch stretching the length of the house. The double doors and large windows open into a spacious, open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area, all radiating the warm glow of wood—from the hardwood floors and half-log paneled walls to the beams in the vaulted ceiling. The home features two airy bedrooms, each with its own floor-to-ceiling tiled bathroom. The clerestory roof is thoughtfully designed to vent heat, keeping the interior cool. It’s evident that this home was meticulously crafted by an artisan. **But there's more! The property also includes the endearing Hobbit House, a whimsical 322 sq ft space nestled into the hillside. This unique structure, with its tree-trunk posts, circular windows, curved ceiling, and sod roof, offers endless possibilities as a guest cabin, art studio, or meditation room. If you have a love for nature and wildlife, this home is perfect for you! Contact us to schedule a showing.
