About this property

Ultra-Private Whale’s Tail View Estate in Costa Verde Estates

Set within Costa Verde Estates, one of the most prestigious gated communities in Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific zone, this extraordinary 9.5-acre ocean-view estate delivers a rare combination of privacy, security, world-class amenities, and iconic views—positioned perfectly between Dominical and Uvita in the coveted Escaleras corridor.

From the moment you enter the long, private driveway, the sense of scale and exclusivity is unmistakable. The property unfolds into sweeping, unobstructed Pacific Ocean views, centered on the legendary Whale’s Tail, with sightlines extending to Caño Island, Ballena Rock, the Three Sisters, Corcovado Peninsula, and the Tortuga Delta, all framed by dramatic sunset colors and cooling ocean breezes.

Costa Verde Estates – A Community Without Comparison

Ownership here includes access to one of the most complete luxury gated communities in the region, featuring:

  • 24/7 gated security
  • Helicopter landing pad
  • Tennis court
  • Equipped gym
  • Ocean-view pavilion ideal for private events, gatherings, and sunset entertaining

This level of infrastructure, security, and long-term value is exceptionally rare in the Dominical–Uvita market.

Refined Tropical Living

The residence is thoughtfully designed to embrace indoor-outdoor living, privacy, and natural airflow:

Open-concept living areas with expansive windows capturing ocean views and natural light

Gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, solid wood cabinetry, quality appliances, and excellent cross-ventilation—ideal for entertaining

Primary suite retreat with en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, private terrace access, and a hand-carved Balinese hardwood bed, a true statement piece

High-quality construction throughout: solid concrete block structure, wood ceilings, travertine flooring, premium ceiling fans, and solid wood furnishings

Outdoor Living & Expansion Potential

The home opens to expansive terraces, lush landscaping, and a private swimming pool, creating a peaceful setting for entertaining or quiet reflection.

A standout feature is the large, separate ocean-view building pad with direct Whale’s Tail views—ideal for a second luxury residence, guest villa, or future investment build. This pad can be accessed via an independent driveway, allowing for complete separation and privacy between structures.

A Rare Opportunity in Escaleras

Whether envisioned as a primary residence, luxury vacation home, or high-end investment property, this Costa Verde Estates offering represents a scarcity-level opportunity in one of Costa Rica’s most desirable micro-markets.

Secure, private, and visually breathtaking—this is Escaleras living at its finest.
