About this property

Exceptionally Quiet and Private – 2.03 acre Classic Home, with Unparalleled & Awe Inspiring Ocean and Sunset Views

This luxurious 3-bedroom, 3.5 bath, 2 story plus caretaker/guest casita oasis delivers the “Best in all Categories”.

Perfectly suited for those looking for a high-end turnkey home in Costa Rica that incorporates an attractive, cozy design and quality craftsmanship. Perched near top of hillside, you will have all the comfortable features of a traditional home, surrounded by the beauty, sights and sounds of the tropics. Nature provides a new and different experience each day. Share the joy with family and friends!

The ultimate in privacy and tranquility – you do not see in another home!

It’s all about The View! This is the most outstanding feature of the home and property. At 1250 feet above sea level, you can see the Osa Peninsula on the left, then the coastline leading to Manuel Antonio National Park on the right. Epic sunsets light up the evening sky with rich golden colors. Details of the surf, sandy beaches and the river delta can be seen at this elevation.

 The home is located on over 2 acres, in the prestigious “Hills of Portalon” community, 8 minutes off the Costanera highway, situated between Quepos (20 min), Dominical (10 min) and Uvita (25 min). The closest beaches of Playa Linda and Playa Matapalo are 2 of the most stunning endless beaches perfectly located between Manuel Antonio and Dominical.

Capuchin monkeys, 3-toed sloths, toucans, scarlet macaws, hummingbirds and parrots can be seen, up close, in this natural habitat. You will be serenaded by their calls.

This home is set up ideally as well to be an income producer if desired.  Rent as 3 bedroom rental home, or a 2 bedroom rental if the owner would like to live there and rent the 2 rooms on one side of the home which have access to the outside and private washrooms. Having a caretaker or guest casita on the property provides even more options with having your own employees right on sight to help with the rentals and take care of the property. This property is absolutely outstanding.
