Luxury Home & Guest House in Platanillo with Ocean Views

Perched on the mountainside in the desirable Cacao Ridge area of Platanillo; this thoughtfully crafted home and guest house offer privacy, comfort, and spectacular views of the valley and the Pacific Ocean. Situated on 3.4 acres of land the homes are separated for privacy each with their own entrance and parking.  Around the homes the landscaping is meticulous and an extensive fruit orchard below creates a modern-day Garden of Eden setting.  Located 10 minutes from Platanillo center with supermarkets and restaurants, 20 minutes from the beaches, restaurants, and amenities of Dominical, and about 30 minutes from the full range of services, healthcare, shopping, and conveniences available in San Isidro, Perez Zeledon.

The main house was completed in 2025 with durable panacore and concrete construction with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with each suite on either side of the home for maximum privacy.  Designed for a relaxed indoor/outdoor lifestyle and perfect elevation for daytime ocean breezes and nighttime cool mountain air flow, these homes do not need AC, but have it just in case.  Luxury finishes throughout such as high-end glass sliders that open completely, teak wood ceilings, solid teak wood cabinetry and custom furniture, back-light translucent quartzite counter tops which are a focal point of the chef’s kitchen and ideal space for entertaining.  The principal bedroom and bath stand out as a resort-like retreat within the home and the custom marble bathtub with chandelier and huge windows on 3 sides transports you to a world-class wellness spa without leaving home.

Outdoor living takes center stage with a swimming pool, hot tub, and multiple spaces to enjoy the surrounding scenery. The built-in Napoleon stainless steel grill right off the kitchen is the perfect location for preparing memorable meals with family and friends.  The pool with its sparkling blue hue creates an inviting ambiance.  The hot tub is a perfect place to enjoy evening star gazing in the cool mountain climate.  An outdoor shower when coming back from the beach or working in the gardens is a lovely feature that will be utilized and enjoyed.

A custom sound system with 14 speakers throughout the main house and exterior porch allow entertaining with ease. And stay connected with excellent wifi internet.

A separate 1-bedroom (plus queen pull out bed), 1-bathroom guest house provides excellent flexibility for visiting family and friends.  Also potential to be an Airbnb or long-term extended stay rental to produce supplementary income.  Excellent views for the guest house and constant breezes with the downstairs living and kitchen areas and an upstairs loft style bedroom.

Built for peace of mind and sustainability, the home is equipped with solar panels and battery backup providing reliable power and is grid-tied as well just in case.  A private artesian well provides ample water for the homes and property with its own filtered water system and extensive holding tanks.
