Casa Tula: Japanese Timber Frame Home in Bosque Verde

Description

Casa Tula stands as an exceptional statement in residential architecture, demonstrating that true craftsmanship and refined design remain deeply valued in coastal living. Situated on the most private property within the prestigious gated community of Bosque Verde in Nosara, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence celebrates an architectural approach rarely seen in the region: traditional Japanese timber-frame construction. The home's most distinctive feature is its innovative building method, using carefully selected teak beams and columns—many left in striking live-edge form—assembled entirely without metal fasteners. Instead, the structure relies on an intricate system of hand-cut wood joinery with pegs and precisely chiseled connections, a technique respected globally and rooted in centuries of Japanese craftsmanship. This approach produces both structural durability and visual beauty, creating a residence that rewards those with an eye for intentional design and superior construction. The home is organized across two levels, each offering direct access to ocean views. The lower level accommodates the primary suite, a bunk room, and a shared bathroom, along with a generously proportioned laundry and utility room providing ample storage for household and recreational gear. Both bedrooms open onto the lower patio with immediate ocean vistas. The upper level fully reveals the craftsmanship throughout the home. The kitchen features high-end appliances, fixtures, and finishes, all thoughtfully positioned to capture the ocean backdrop while preparing meals and entertaining. The interior living area flows seamlessly onto a spacious outdoor terrace, creating an expansive setting for gathering and relaxation. The master suite occupies this level as well, featuring a walk-through closet and a meticulously designed bathroom with a well-proportioned vanity, shower, and water closet—all commanding the same sweeping ocean views. Throughout Casa Tula, you will find exceptional design paired with refined finishes, accomplished without excess or wasted space. The result is a home that demonstrates remarkable balance and thoughtfulness, defining what an ideal Nosara residence can be. The property must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated. We welcome you to schedule a private showing of this remarkable home.
