Two-Room Convertible Music Studio on Pura Vida Road
Montezuma, Cobano, Puntarenas, Puntarenas, Costa Rica 60111

Set on a gently sloping 2,500 m² property surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, Estudios Alcatraz is a distinctive 450 m² modernist property offering a spacious, versatile layout with excellent potential for conversion into a private residence.

Designed in a clean, contemporary white-concrete style, the property is centered around an expansive open-plan common area incorporating kitchen facilities, communal dining, and comfortable spaces for relaxing and gathering. Generous proportions, clean architectural lines, and abundant natural light create a bright, relaxed environment that can readily accommodate a variety of uses.

The property currently includes two enclosed studio rooms, one of which is also used as office space. Each room has its own WC with shower. The existing layout lends itself particularly well to residential conversion, with the two enclosed rooms easily adapted into bedrooms, each with its own WC. The spacious common area could become a generous living and dining space, while additional areas could be configured as a home gym, office, or workspace. There is also potential to add further bedrooms if desired.

A distinctive spiral ramp provides access to the upper level, creating an appealing architectural focal point and an interesting connection between the property’s various spaces. An attached garage, currently utilized as a photography studio, offers additional flexibility, while a large utility room provides practical storage and service space. A separate WC conveniently serves the common area and garage/studio.

Outside, a large swimming pool sits adjacent to the terrace, creating an inviting setting for relaxing and entertaining while taking in the tropical surroundings and beautiful mountain views. Mature tropical vegetation throughout the gently sloping grounds provides privacy and enhances the property’s seamless integration with its natural environment.

The building is solidly constructed and equipped with satellite internet, air conditioning, and insect screens on all windows. The screened windows allow the interiors to be opened to the surrounding jungle and tropical breezes, while air conditioning provides additional comfort when desired.

A drip-irrigated raised vegetable garden currently provides fresh produce and could easily be expanded for those interested in cultivating more of their own food. The property also benefits from a comprehensive soft-water filtration system.

The property is conveniently located for exploring many of the beautiful beaches at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula, while also offering proximity to the local airport and essential amenities.

For families, its close proximity to Futuro Verde, the area’s International Baccalaureate school, is an added advantage, providing convenient access to a full K–12 educational program while keeping both the beaches and the natural beauty of the Peninsula within easy reach.

Combining generous proportions, practical infrastructure, privacy, and easy access, Estudios Alcatraz offers a rare opportunity to create a unique tropical residence, creative workspace, studio, or combination of uses.
