PRIVATE ACQUISITION ASKING PRICE: $900,000 USD
Seller’s anticipated public listing price: $950,000 USD
Operated & stewarded by MARMORIA RAM
A rare opportunity for a one-of-a-kind sanctuary…
Casa Oshun is the realization of my lifelong vision to create an expansive retreat sanctuary immersed in nature - a place where spirituality, art, nourishment, and connection with the natural world come together to inspire profound personal transformation.
Since arriving in Costa Rica in September 2025, I have called this extraordinary property home, developing it into a living sanctuary for immersive retreats, ceremonies, artistic creation, and intimate transformational experiences.
What has taken root here over the past year is only the beginning.
Now, an extraordinary opportunity has emerged to permanently secure Casa Oshun and create the foundation for its future to grow far beyond what I could accomplish alone.
The owner has offered me the opportunity to acquire Casa Oshun privately, with an asking price of $900,000 USD, before bringing the property to the public market at an anticipated listing price of $950,000 USD.
This private acquisition opportunity is available through November 2026, providing a meaningful window to explore the right relationships and resources to bring the purchase to fruition.
I am exploring this opportunity with a small number of people who may be interested in participating in the acquisition - as an investment, a legacy project, a sanctuary they would personally value having a relationship with, or some combination of these.
With the right partners, the possibility is not simply to preserve what already exists, but to bring something even greater to life.

THE PROPERTY
Casa Oshun is a 100% sustainably built sanctuary.
It is an extraordinary example of natural architecture.
Built and expanded over six years by builders and master craftspeople, the home incorporates all natural materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and an open-air design that allows daily life to unfold in close relationship with the surrounding tropical environment.
ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS
Wattle-and-daub/adobe construction with an interior bamboo lattice structure designed for seismic resilience
Sustainable teak and salvaged local hardwoods
Clay tile, thatch roof, and paints made from natural pigments
Copper plumbing throughout
Expansive wood-and-glass accordion doors that open the main living spaces directly into the surrounding landscape
Passive ventilation throughout most of the home, with air conditioning in the primary bedroom
A spacious wraparound deck and beautiful open-air gathering, dining, and yoga/movement spaces
Grand, sweeping wooden staircase leading to the main entrance, an extraordinary feature of the home's handcrafted architecture.
The result is a home that combines the comfort of modern living with the beauty and integrity of natural building in direct relationship with nature.
THE HOUSE AT A GLANCE
The home features three bedrooms, a lower-level studio apartment, two full bathrooms, and one half bathroom.
The main level includes a spacious, well-equipped kitchen with a commercial-sized refrigerator and freezer, generous living and dining areas, the primary bedroom, two additional bedrooms, bathrooms, a dry room, and laundry facilities.
The lower-level guest studio opens onto a private patio overlooking one of the property's beautiful ponds and includes its own half bathroom, offering a peaceful, private space for guests or creative work.
The hexagonal primary bedroom was designed in homage to the sacred geometry of honeybee architecture, reflecting the thoughtful relationship between nature and design found throughout the home.
A magnificent, sweeping wooden staircase wraps upward toward the home's main entrance, creating a dramatic and unforgettable arrival. This grand architectural feature sets the tone for the extraordinary craftsmanship found throughout Casa Oshun.
One of the home's most distinctive artistic features is an extraordinary, large-scale, hand-carved wooden Flower of Life embedded into the main hall - a striking expression of the sacred geometry woven into the property's architecture.
The home also features custom-designed, handcrafted wooden furniture created specifically for its spaces, including an extraordinary oversized dining table and individually crafted bed frames in every bedroom. These pieces complement the natural architecture and reflect the artistry, craftsmanship, and attention to detail found throughout the property.
At the heart of the home, a generous open-air living space offers areas for yoga and movement, gathering, relaxation, and dining beneath a magnificent thatched cathedral ceiling.
A LIVING TROPICAL LANDSCAPE
Casa Oshun is held within a mature, abundant landscape that has been growing and flourishing for years.
Groves of mature cacao trees grow throughout the property, alongside banana, mango, soursop, jackfruit, pineapple, starfruit, ice cream bean, and water apple trees, creating an established food-producing landscape around the home.
An organic garden, two beautiful ponds, and towering tropical trees bring another dimension of life to the land, attracting an extraordinary abundance of birds and wildlife.
The property backs onto a nature refuge, with a private trail leading through the jungle to the stunning Machuca River and several natural swimming holes, just a five-minute walk from the house.
This is part of what makes Casa Oshun so difficult to replicate.
The architecture, mature cacao groves, productive landscape, forest, and river have already grown into relationship with one another over time.
Casa Oshun is an established living environment with extraordinary natural abundance.

LA ECOVILLA
A DISTINCTIVE LOCATION WITH GROWING INTERNATIONAL APPEAL
Casa Oshun is located within La Ecovilla, an internationally recognized intentional community in Costa Rica known for its approach to regenerative living, ecological infrastructure, community, and education.
La Ecovilla attracts people from around the world who are seeking a different way of living - one that integrates nature, sustainability, community connection, and a more conscious relationship with the environment.
For a prospective property owner, this location offers something particularly valuable: an established community with shared infrastructure, ecological amenities, and an international identity that would be difficult to reproduce independently.
As interest in regenerative communities and sustainable living continues to develop globally, La Ecovilla's visibility and distinctive positioning may contribute to long-term demand for properties within the community.
Casa Oshun offers the opportunity to acquire an already-established natural-built home within this unique environment.

THE VISION OF CASA OSHUN
A SANCTUARY FOR TRANSFORMATION, CREATION & REMEMBRANCE
My lifelong vision of creating an expansive retreat sanctuary immersed in nature has come to life at Casa Oshun. What I have established here over the past year is only the beginning of what I know is possible.
Securing the property permanently would allow this vision to take root for the long term, creating a foundation for the mission to continue growing and evolving beyond what I could accomplish on my own.
What excites me most about the possibility of acquisition partnerships is not simply securing the property, but imagining what we could create together. With aligned people bringing their own vision, resources, expertise, and passions, Casa Oshun has the potential to become something even greater than my vision alone.
We are living through a time of profound change, when reconnecting with nature, rediscovering our purpose, and remembering the wisdom of the heart feel more essential than ever.
Casa Oshun Sanctuary exists to awaken that remembrance - to create experiences that reconnect people with their deepest truth and catalyze lives guided by the heart.
WHAT IS ALREADY TAKING ROOT
Casa Oshun is already an active sanctuary for private immersive retreats, ceremonial experiences, healing and transformational work, and artistic creation. It has also become an important setting for my ongoing film, photography, and creative projects.
The vision is intentionally intimate rather than high-volume: a sanctuary where people can come for meaningful periods of retreat, creation, initiation, and renewal.
And the possibilities extend far beyond the experiences currently offered here.
The established cacao groves, productive fruit trees, organic gardens, and ecological environment create a beautiful foundation for future endeavors involving regenerative food production, cacao cultivation and education, creative residencies, visiting teachers, intimate gatherings, and collaborative experiences rooted in the land.
The intention is to develop Casa Oshun as a sanctuary where nature, spirituality, art, nourishment, and education come together to inspire profound personal transformation.
For a potential acquisition partner, Casa Oshun already has a committed operator and steward in me, an established foundation of experiences, and an international audience connected to the work.
The opportunity now is to secure its permanent home and open the door to what we might build together - honoring everything that makes Casa Oshun extraordinary while allowing its fullest potential to unfold.
THE VALUE OF CASA OSHUN
AN EXTRAORDINARY FOUNDATION ALREADY IN PLACE
What makes Casa Oshun particularly compelling is the convergence of qualities that would be difficult to recreate in a single property.
A DISTINCTIVE REAL-ESTATE ASSET
An extraordinary naturally built tropical home featuring handcrafted architecture, custom woodwork and furnishings, mature cacao groves, productive fruit trees, established gardens, and a beautiful relationship with the surrounding forest and Machuca River.
AN ESTABLISHED ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITY
Located within La Ecovilla, Casa Oshun benefits from existing ecological infrastructure, shared amenities, and an internationally recognized community dedicated to regenerative living.
A SANCTUARY ALREADY DESIGNED FOR GATHERING
With dedicated spaces for movement, ceremony, dining, guest accommodations, and creative work, Casa Oshun already offers much of the physical infrastructure needed for intimate retreats and transformational experiences.
AN EXPERIENCED OPERATOR + INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE
Casa Oshun has a committed steward in me with years of experience guiding transformational experiences, an established body of programming, and an international audience already connected to the work.
EXISTING REVENUE + EXPANSION POTENTIAL
The property is already hosting paid retreats and private experiences, with possibilities for additional offerings involving cacao, regenerative food production, education, artistic residencies, gatherings, and collaborations.
A FOUNDATION FOR COLLABORATIVE VISION
The acquisition creates an opportunity for aligned partners to contribute not only capital, but also their own expertise, creativity, and relationships to help shape the sanctuary's future.
A RARE COMBINATION OF QUALITIES
Recreating this combination of handcrafted architecture, mature tropical landscape, cacao groves, ecological infrastructure, retreat spaces, and proximity to the river would require significant time, resources, and access to a comparable property.
The opportunity is to acquire this extraordinary foundation now - and bring its fullest potential to life.
THE ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITY

PRIVATE ACQUISITION ASKING PRICE

ANTICIPATED PUBLIC LISTING
The owner has offered a private acquisition opportunity ahead of an anticipated public listing, with the intention of determining a viable purchase arrangement by the end of November 2026.
The final purchase price and terms remain subject to negotiation, including consideration of the property's condition and necessary improvements.
he anticipated public listing price provides context for this private opportunity; it is not an independent appraisal or guarantee of market value.
EXPLORING THE RIGHT PARTNERSHIP
I am currently exploring how the acquisition might be structured with one principal partner or a small group of aligned participants.
Depending on the people involved, potential arrangements could include equity participation, private financing, seller financing, or a combination of approaches.
The final structure has intentionally not been predetermined.
I am interested in discovering what becomes possible through the right conversations, with an arrangement that respects both the tangible real-estate investment and the long-term stewardship of Casa Oshun.
Any ownership percentages, financial returns, repayment terms, property-use privileges, governance arrangements, and exit provisions would be developed through further discussion and appropriate professional guidance.
Beyond the underlying property, Casa Oshun also offers possibilities for future revenue-generating activities, including private retreats, intimate events, creative projects, educational experiences, cacao and food-related programming, and carefully selected collaborations.
These represent opportunities for future development rather than established revenue projections.
