| Located just north of Playa Dominical on 17 secluded and forested acres, this property includes a 4,600 square foot luxurious home that takes advantage of the views afforded by its 1100-foot perch above the southern Pacific coast. The home includes modern high-end conveniences and automation technologies designed for quiet living and entertaining in elegant surroundings. At the end of a private road and nestled adjacent to a nature preserve with two species of monkeys, enjoy sounds of the ocean, mountain and valley views, and on moonlit nights, a view of shimmering pearlescent waves breaking along the 20-mile coastline from Guapil to Manuel Antonio. The property also includes a 600 square foot apartment above a 2-car garage, an infinity-edge pool with a natural rock waterfall, and beautiful landscaping. One may also subdivide the 17 acre property into 2 additional ocean view lots and 4 mountain view lots.
Main House
The main home includes 4600 sq feet (425 m2) of enclosed space plus patios and balconies add over 1400 feet (134 m2) of extended living area. This is a centrally air conditioned home with 6 fully independent zones that obviate the need to cool parts of the house that are not being used.
Enter the home beneath a stately 2-story portico into a 2-story entry hall with sculpted ceiling and chandelier and face an artistically designed cantilevered curved stairwell. Beyond the stairwell observe the view of the manicured pool area and beach through the floor to ceiling windows of a large (17ft X 30 ft) 2-story living room located on the lower level of this front-to-back split-level home. The ceiling, suspended 22 feet above the living room floor, includes an arrangement of lights that emphasize the sculpted ceiling design and grand scale of the room. On the same level as the entry hall is the main dining room, which also overlooks the living room and the natural outside views beyond. The split-levels maximize the ocean views from deep within the home so that from the dining room the owners and quests may still enjoy the year-round ocean sunsets. The dining room also has a sculpted ceiling that incorporates a beautiful chandelier plus indirect accent lighting that helps to set a scene of warmth and charm. These and many other aspects emphasize the attention to detail incorporated into this elegant home.
A very special feature of the home is the automated lighting system. For example, with the push of a button on a wall switch in the dining room, illumination from the chandelier and the accent source above the dinning room table rise to a preset warm level, lights in the living room begin to dim, and outside the dining room’s picture window a triangular palm is illuminated by landscape lighting. This is just one of several lighting scenes and other automated controls available to the owner at the push of a button.
Apartment
The self-contained 1-bedroom apartment located above the garage has a kitchen, living room, dining area and bath. A laundry room and storage room are on the first level. There is intercom communication to the main house.
