Luxury Ocean View Estate with 5 Bedrooms, Pool & Guest Casitas in Escaleras, Dominical Costa Rica

Positioned high in the coveted Escaleras mountains above Dominical, this exceptional estate captures the essence of Costa Rica’s most coveted luxury lifestyle. Set within a private gated community, the property offers a rare combination of security, privacy, and breathtaking natural beauty, a combination rarely found in today’s market.

At the end of the road, where the rainforest canopy opens to expansive Pacific vistas, the estate commands one of the most extraordinary view corridors in the Southern Zone. Here, nature unfolds in every direction, delivering three remarkable panoramas that define the property’s character and daily experience.

The first is the sunset view, where the Pacific horizon transforms each evening into a canvas of amber, gold, and rose. From the pool terrace and main living spaces, the sun sinks slowly into the ocean while cool breezes rise through the valley below.

Equally captivating is the iconic Whale’s Tail view, overlooking the famous sandbar formation of Marino Ballena National Park in nearby Uvita. During whale migration season, the ocean beyond becomes a living spectacle as humpback whales surface and breach in the distance — a rare privilege visible from the comfort of your own estate.

Completing the panorama are the mountain views, where rolling jungle ridges stretch toward the cloud forests of Costa Rica’s interior. Morning mist drifts through the valleys while toucans and scarlet macaws glide above the canopy, creating an ever-changing landscape that feels both wild and peaceful.

As described in the property overview, this remarkable parcel sits within one of Escaleras’ most biodiverse corridors, where rainforest and cloud forest ecosystems converge, creating a thriving sanctuary for wildlife and birdlife.

Architecture Designed for Tropical Living

The estate’s design embraces the principles of modern tropical architecture. Open living spaces flow seamlessly to expansive terraces, blurring the line between interior comfort and outdoor beauty.

The main residence features two spacious bedrooms, generous entertaining areas, and wide glass openings that frame sweeping ocean and jungle views. Natural materials such as stone, hardwood, and artisan finishes bring warmth and authenticity to the contemporary design.

Complementing the main residence are three independent guest casitas, each offering a private bedroom suite and living space. This thoughtful layout provides exceptional flexibility for hosting family and friends or operating a high-end boutique hospitality concept.

At the heart of the property lies the ocean-view swimming pool, an idyllic gathering space where afternoons unfold in quiet relaxation and evenings are marked by unforgettable sunset gatherings.

A Wildlife Sanctuary and Birder’s Paradise

Few properties offer such a direct connection to Costa Rica’s natural world. Escaleras sits within one of the country’s richest biodiversity zones, home to more than 900 bird species and an extraordinary range of wildlife.

Scarlet macaws, toucans, hummingbirds, trogons, and motmots are frequent visitors. Private trails weave through lush vegetation and rare botanical plantings, creating a natural sanctuary where each morning reveals new discoveries.

For naturalists, birdwatchers, and those who simply value the presence of wild nature, the experience here is profound.

An Exceptional Equestrian Opportunity

The estate also features a dedicated equestrian zone, including a purpose-built horse-training area and open space suitable for the further development of a private riding facility.

Imagine early morning rides along jungle trails that open to Pacific views, where horses move through a landscape that feels untouched and expansive.

Lifestyle, Income & Long-Term Value

Its proximity to Dominical, Uvita, and Marino Ballena National Park ensures access to world-class beaches, surf breaks, restaurants, and marine adventures while maintaining the serenity of a mountain sanctuary.

This is more than a property. It is a rare convergence of privacy, biodiversity, architecture, and investment potential in one of Costa Rica’s most coveted regions.

For qualified buyers seeking a legacy estate in the Southern Zone, opportunities of this caliber are rare.
