Turn the key to the sumptuous Casa Tanglewood and revel in the finest tropical dream brought to life. Every possible whim and preference have been anticipated in this fully appointed, custom-designed and utterly unique 2 ¼-acre (9161.8 m2) luxury estate with stunning ocean and canyon views in the tightly knit and culturally integrated community of Lagunas de Barú on Costa Rica’s south Pacific coast, just ten short minutes from Dominical.

Awake in the soothing, earth-toned 3200-sq.-ft., 3-bedroom, 3-bath main house to sunlight pouring in through the glassed balcony doors. Wander into the airy kitchen blessed by ample natural light and outfitted with the most recent, state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, wine cooler, and glass-fronted cabinets, with new granite countertops throughout.

From the foyer through the gallery and all living areas, the furnishings were selected to complement the home’s southwestern theme. All flooring is high-gloss Mexican saltillo-style tile with decorative borders. Each bath features distinctive tiles and natural stone finishes. Recessed lighting with dimmer switches allow you to control the mood, as does the built-in sound system that features speakers in the living room, dining room, master bedroom, and poolside rancho. Practical matters are attended to in the laundry, and the main house’s 2-car garage.

Further accommodation is offered by an 1100-square-foot, 2-bedroom, 1½ -bath guesthouse located in a secluded section of the grounds, surrounded by trees and landscaping with an ocean view. The first floor is an open space with entertainment area, while the second floor includes the kitchen, covered deck, master bedroom, sitting area, and full bath.
