Description
This 1.5 acre private estate sits on a hillside, surrounded by the jungle but accessed by paved road. The design of this architectural wonder has taken the surrounding environment into account, capturing the beauty of the forest with views over the tree canopy to the ocean beyond.
The gated entry leads you up the driveway to the covered portico and striking feature wall of the home. Your visiting guests will be filled with anticipation of what wonders lay behind.
The villa brings tropical modern architecture to nature’s front door. Sliding walls of glass open to the outdoors giving the illusion of floating above the trees. The warm wood tones with natural stone and tile accents blend the home’s interior with the outdoor living areas and infinity edge salt water pool, surrounded by lush gardens filled with Costa Rica’s diverse wildlife.
The living plan includes the kitchen with a massive quartz island so chefs and guests can all be a part of the evening's gathering after a day of adventure on the ocean or in the rainforest. Adorned with a full suite of Kitchen Aid appliances and hand-crafted cabinetry, preparing your favorite dishes will be a breeze, and an enjoyable experience for all. The open concept space includes the living area and walls of windows to bring the gentle ocean breezes through the heart of the home. The back terrace is the perfect place to capture the sunrise over the mountain top with your morning coffee, but you'll want to move to the front of the home for spectacular sunsets in the evenings.
Beside the large infinity pool are spacious covered outdoor areas with three distinct seating zones: a poolside living room area; a large dining area with outdoor kitchen and built-in grill and additional bar seating; and the sun deck with lush tropical gardens and the waterfall sounds of the pool's infinity edge.
The outdoor lighting installation shows the thought that went into every detail of this home. Indirect, recessed landscape lighting and multiple LED pool lights illuminate the exterior to the mood you are in - all from the tap of your phone or tablet. The hardware can be programmed with several settings to please every atmosphere you want to create. All with outdoor surround sound for when it's time to entertain!
On the second floor, two large master suites with large balconies ensure guests are treated to luxury and privacy when needed. The expansive ensuite bathrooms all include rain showers, granite vanities, recessed and indirect lighting, and the attention to detail one should expect from a home of this quality. One of these bedrooms captures the stunning ocean view with white water waves crashing on the Whale tail reef, while the other faces the captivating mountain range above. A third bedroom and guest bathroom is situated on the main floor with it's own terrace, and can also be used as a home office space.
Additional features to set this home apart from many include the large storage areas, the PEX water system, and the additional infrastructure needed to ensure your time in paradise is low maintenance and worry free.
Located just 2 minutes to town, and even closer to world class beaches and the Marina Ballena National Park with whale tail reef, this estate will perform better than most in the vacation rental market if so desired.
This exclusive estate is something to behold in person to appreciate all it has to offer.
