About this home
Nestled within Costa Verde Estates, the esteemed gated enclave along the southern Pacific coast, this extraordinary estate spans nearly 8 acres of breathtaking natural beauty, featuring lush jungles and cascading waterfalls. The discerning original owners meticulously selected this prime property for its unparalleled panoramic vistas, substantial land area, and exceptional degree of privacy that few can rival. Upon entering the residence, one is immediately enveloped in sophistication, with a grand two-story foyer showcasing a stunning domed fresco ceiling and an elegant circular staircase, framed by intricate wrought iron railings and rare hardwood floors. Ascending to the primary suite—an expansive domain that occupies the entirety of the second floor—guests are treated to a wrap-around balcony that offers sweeping views and an intimate connection with the local wildlife, including playful monkeys and vibrant toucans. The luxurious ensuite features intricate mosaics, a double vanity, a clawfoot tub, and an outdoor shower, creating an oasis of serenity. A spacious walk-in closet, adorned with bespoke teak cabinetry, adds an element of refined practicality. The main level of this estate is designed for both comfort and elegance. The expansive living area, anchored by a circular conversation sofa, is complemented by an additional sitting area or study, fostering a warm and inviting atmosphere. Much of the exquisite handcrafted furniture is included in the sale, allowing for a seamless transition into this remarkable residence. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the large kitchen, which boasts imported tile decor, an expansive island, and a peninsula that provides ample counter space and storage—essential for both entertaining and daily living. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining room featuring a stunning live-edge table and walls of glass that elegantly merge indoor and outdoor spaces. Flanking either side of the home are spacious guest suites, each designed with custom teak cabinetry and private access to covered patios, offering enchanting views of the jungle and ocean. A picturesque garden courtyard, linked by a covered walkway, separates the residence from the two-car garage and a well-equipped laundry and service area. In an era where reliability is paramount, this home is equipped with advanced German-engineered backup battery storage, ensuring an uninterrupted power supply that enhances the comfort and convenience of everyday living. Furthermore, the residence is constructed with a state-of-the-art roller foundation, specifically designed to withstand seismic activity common to the region, thereby enhancing structural integrity and significantly bolstering the long-term investment value. Beyond the covered terrace lies an expansive solar heated pool, complete with built-in seating designed for sunset gatherings against the backdrop of dramatic coastal views, encompassing the entirety of the southern shore and the iconic Whale’s Tail of the Marine National Park. Here, Humpback whales return each year, providing a captivating spectacle in the azure waters below. An infinity-edge lap lane stretches along the western wing of the home, further enhancing the allure of outdoor living. A distinctive feature of this estate is its expansive lawn that extends from the pool toward the ocean, providing a serene sanctuary for relaxation amid the soothing sounds of nature and the gentle flow of the river that meanders through the property, accented by multiple waterfalls and a network of hiking trails throughout the lush 8-acre landscape.

Moreover, the community has set aside 600 acres for a reserve program, ensuring the protection of old-growth forests and wildlife corridors, thereby enhancing the ecological value and long-term appeal of this exceptional property.
