Description

Wrought iron gates leading to a driveway lined with majestic towering Royal Palms mark your arrival at this casa. This Spanish-style haven is an architectural gem, set amidst its lush tropical gardens, offering captivating views of the ocean, sunset, mountains and valleys below.

Conveniently located just 15 minutes from the beach and a short 30 minute drive to San Isidro, Costa Rica’s second city, this unique estate’s location ensures accessibility to all one’s needs without compromising the tranquility that this property provides.

Stepping through the custom-carved double entry doors of this meticulously crafted 2,400 sq.ft block-built, two-story three bedroom two and a half bathroom home you are greeted by ceramic-tiled floors that span the entirety of the house. The staircase, adorned with wrought iron handrails, leads to soaring vaulted hardwood ceilings throughout the residence with cedar tablia and recessed lighting, creating an atmosphere of grandeur and space. Fully screened windows and sliding doors invite gentle cooling breezes and panoramic views into every room.

The master suite occupying the upper level with its en-suite bathroom features a tiled rain shower and vanity with double hand basins. This sanctuary boasts a covered balcony overlooking the property offering breathtaking ocean views and memorable tranquil sunsets.

The open-plan recessed great room seamlessly integrates living and dining areas beneath a two-story vaulted hardwood ceiling. Sliding screened glass double doors lead to the arched covered patio areas which encircle the house, providing unobstructed ocean and valley views.

There are two guest bedrooms, one of which is currently utilized as an office with access to a half bath across the hallway. The principal guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom opens to the garden and covered patio through glass sliding doors. The kitchen, with views to the ocean, is a true chef’s delight, equipped with stainless appliances, cedar cabinets, and ceramic stone countertops. An adjacent laundry room provides plumbing for two washers and dryers and offers convenient access to the elevated side patio and side door.

One of the unique features of this property, nestled between the ocean and the mountains, are the mature landscaped ”Botanical” gardens containing a myriad of plants (some of which are rare hybrids) including orchids, flowering trees, shrubs and fruits which are home to many species of Costa Rica’s abundant wildlife – Iconic Blue Morpho butterflies, Parrots, Humming Birds, Toucans and Aracari, Sloths, Monkeys, Armadillos, Tyra, Coati, Kiscadees and many others either visit or call this casa home. Blessed with Mangos, Banana Plants, Avocado, Guanabana, Oranges and Papaya, there is much for all to feast on in this idyllic setting.

Whether you’re an avid bird-watcher or simply enjoy the soothing sounds of the jungle and the ocean, this casa immerses you in Costa Rica’s natural beauty.

Additionally, the property’s extensive grounds offer the opportunity to locate a Guest Casita overlooking the jungle and valley below and with convenient access from the road.

Complimenting its natural wonders, the residence boasts a resort-style pool area featuring a 35’x 35’ mosaic-tiled freeform negative edge swimming pool and a lighted rancho/covered yoga deck. It’s a perfect spot to unwind while enjoying the breathtaking surroundings.

Sustainability and self-sufficiency are at the core of this casa, evident in features such as an eco-friendly whole house on-demand hot water system and a 360 ft2 bodega with workshop housing an internal 8,500-liter filtered reserve water tank.

Accessed 2.5 km off the main highway on a municipality-maintained road that eliminates the need for a 4-wheel drive vehicle, this casa, with high-speed fiber-optic internet, AyA water and ICE electric service, blends accessibility, luxury and functionality with the natural beauty of its surroundings.

this casa is not just a home; it’s a retreat, a sanctuary, and an embodiment of Costa Rican living at its finest.
