Description:
Perched at 900 feet above the sparkling Pacific coastline of Dominical, Costa Rica, this one-of-a-kind estate is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property in the highly sought-after mountainside of Escaleras. Set on nearly five acres of lush forest that was once open pasture, the land has been lovingly transformed over two decades into a private sanctuary for both people and wildlife. Mature fruit trees, hand-planted native species, and protected ridgelines offer a level of tranquility and privacy that is increasingly hard to find.
From the moment you arrive, the feeling is one of timeless design and deep connection to the natural world. The home was carefully placed to capture expansive views of the ocean and surrounding jungle, and every room in the house looks out toward the Pacific—where whales are often visible and sunsets paint the sky nearly every evening of the year.
The main house features an open-concept design with multiple walkouts to the terrace and 41-foot infinity-edge lap pool. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with hand-crafted custom cabinetry, porcelain countertops, and a seamless flow into the living and dining areas, all of which are finished with beautiful local wood and terracotta floors. Soaring ceilings and clean lines echo a mid-century modern aesthetic, softened by the warmth of the wood and the lush environment outside.
The 500-square-foot principal suite is a true retreat, complete with a private terrace, ocean-view soaking tub, walk-in closet, and a generous sitting area. Like all the sleeping spaces on the property, the principal and guest bedrooms are designed with windows on three sides, allowing for excellent cross-breezes, peaceful sleep, and the gentle sound of the surf in the distance.
Additional spaces include a large guest bedroom, a spacious laundry/pantry room with storage and a backup battery system to ensure uninterrupted power to essential systems, and thoughtfully designed outdoor living areas for both sun and shade throughout the day.
A short path leads to a fully independent guest house tucked among old-growth trees. With its own ocean-view terrace, a full kitchen, bathroom, and large windows perfectly framing the horizon and forest, it’s a favorite spot for guests to enjoy both connection and privacy during their stay.
What truly sets this property apart—aside from its craftsmanship and natural beauty—is the enduring value of its location. Escaleras has seen thoughtful growth in recent years, but this estate’s long, private driveway and protected surroundings ensure your peace, privacy, and investment are preserved. Properties like this simply aren’t being made anymore.
If you’re seeking a home that offers ocean views, timeless design, deep privacy, and a living connection to Costa Rica’s incredible natural world, this estate is truly something special.
*The home comes fully furnished and includes Appliances. An incredible value at just $1,250,000
