About this property

Imagine a place where the jungle meets the ocean, where time slows down, and where every moment is kissed by the warm glow of the setting sun. Welcome to the castillo – your very own castle in the sunset, nestled within the exclusive gated community of Marina Vista II, Escaleras, in Dominicalito, Costa Rica. This romantic Mediterranean-style estate offers not just a home, but a sanctuary—a place where privacy, natural beauty, and luxury come together in perfect harmony.

Set on a sprawling 5-acre estate, this castillo is perched high above the turquoise waters of Dominicalito Bay. From this privileged vantage point, you are treated to uninterrupted ocean views that stretch as far as the eye can see, from the dramatic coastline to the distant horizon where the sky meets the sea. Here, every evening, the sun dips into the ocean, painting the sky with hues of orange, pink, and gold, a nightly spectacle that is yours to savor in complete privacy.

As you approach this enchanting estate, you are greeted by the sight of a beautiful stone exterior, crowned by a roof of low-maintenance Teja Real tiles that keep the home cool and comfortable year-round. A private hardwood gate opens to reveal a driveway lined with swaying palm trees, pineapples, and vibrant tropical flowers, guiding you to the entrance of this dream home.

Step inside, and you are immediately embraced by a sense of warmth and tranquility. The heart of the home is an open-concept living space, where elegant marble-accented tiles from Spain meet the rich warmth of tropical hardwood ceilings. Here, the living room and kitchen flow seamlessly into one another, creating a space that is both inviting and sophisticated. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a massive island, hewn from a single piece of Costa Rican Cenizero wood, offering not just a place to prepare meals, but a gathering spot where stories are shared and memories are made.

Every detail of the castillo has been thoughtfully crafted to enhance the natural beauty that surrounds it. Handcrafted Cristobal hardwood cabinetry, pearl blue granite countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances combine to create a kitchen that is both functional and beautiful. From here, your gaze is drawn through the house, across the infinity pool, and out to the endless expanse of ocean beyond.

The estate features four king-sized bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, offering luxurious accommodations for you and your guests. The master suite, with its heart-shaped purpleheart hardwood headboard and panoramic glass doors, feels as though it is floating above the jungle canopy. From your elevated king-sized bed, you can watch the ocean stretch out before you, while the soft rustle of leaves and the distant crash of waves lull you into a peaceful slumber.

One of the estate’s most enchanting features is the outdoor living space. The infinity-edge pool, tiled in a vibrant blue that mirrors the sky and ocean, is the perfect place to unwind as you watch whales breach in the distance or marvel at the playful antics of monkeys and sloths in the surrounding trees. The pool is complemented by a hot tub lounge, where you can relax under the stars, feeling the warmth of the water and the coolness of the mountain breeze.

For those who value privacy, the estate also includes a separate guest suite, a ”home within a home,” complete with its own kitchen, living room, and bathroom. This space offers your guests a retreat of their own, where they can enjoy the beauty of the jungle and ocean in solitude.

As you ascend to the rooftop terrace, you are greeted by sweeping views of the jungle and ocean, a perfect spot for entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a glass of wine. The terrace is adorned with Coralina fossil rock ledges and features a round-tabled lounging area shaded by a Palmex umbrella, offering a serene space to relax and soak in the beauty of Costa Rica.

Throughout the estate, the connection to nature is palpable. Whether you are dining al fresco in the outdoor pavilion, practicing yoga in the open-air studio, or simply strolling through the lush gardens, you are constantly reminded of the stunning natural environment that surrounds you.

The castillo is more than just a home; it is a retreat, a place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with what truly matters. Here, amidst the tranquility of the jungle and the majesty of the ocean, you will find a sense of peace and fulfillment that is rare and precious.

This is not just a place to live—it is a place to thrive, to dream, and to create memories that will last a lifetime. Come home to this castillo, and discover the true meaning of paradise.
