Ocean View Home for Sale
There aren’t too many places in the world where you can buy a beautiful house, with acreage and a stunning ocean view, for under half a million dollars. No, it’s not a misprint, this beautiful house is located just outside of Dominical, Costa Rica, and is listed at $489,000. You could be the owner of this amazing home for less than the cost of a one-bedroom apartment in Vancouver, New York, or San Francisco!
This gorgeous tropical home was designed to soak in the incredible views available in almost every direction. Floor to ceiling windows bring the outdoors in. From the open living room and kitchen, watch the waves breaking along the coast all the way to Manuel Antonio National Park. The living room and bedroom also enjoy dramatic mountain views, including sunrises over Mt. Chirripo, the highest mountain in Costa Rica. Sunsets over the ocean will light up the sky and can be viewed from the house, large porch with dining area and lounge chairs, or the teak sunset deck.
The house is situated on 2.5 acres of land, with numerous mature fruit trees including bananas, limes, mamones, and mangos. It is located in the prestigious Lagunas community, with excellent water and roads. Because it’s 900 feet above sea level, it benefits from cooling breezes in the mornings and evening, and cooler temperatures at night. Even though it’s in the hills, driving to the beach in nearby Dominical only takes about twelve minutes!
This home combines an open, modern floor plan with a rustic, contemporary style. The house features a great room with combined kitchen, dining, and living spaces. A dramatic hardwood bar made from a single slab of wood connects the kitchen and living room and provides space for meals or entertaining. The kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, gas stove, and cedar cabinets.
There are two bedrooms and one bathroom. The bedrooms are spacious and bright, with handmade wooden beds, side tables and closets. The bathroom is large, with a walk-in rain shower, a beautiful hardwood counter, and a hand-painted sink. There is also a dehumidified, secure storage bodega with washer and dryer, a 2-car covered parking area, and an alarm system and gate. All the furniture in the home is included in the sale.
One of the best features of the house is the sunset deck with outdoor tub and shower. This teak deck was added in 2016 to take advantage of some of the best views on the property. A gorgeous Balinese stone bathtub sits on the edge of the deck, along with an outdoor shower. Watch the sunset over the ocean, or look for shooting stars under a dark night sky, while enjoying a soak in the tub. The deck is also perfect for yoga or for simply relaxing in a lounge chair with a book. There’s also plenty of space to add a pool with rancho next to the sunset deck and in front of the house.
A second building site, separate from the main house, makes this property unusual. This second building site is currently home to an organic greenhouse and caretaker’s cabin, but it could easily be developed with another luxury home or rental house. This property has the potential for expansion, allowing for a business opportunity or a larger family.
This ocean view home for sale is special and unique. The views are stunning in every direction, the home is modern yet rustic and comfortable, the community is safe and convenient, and there is opportunity for future growth. It’s the perfect home for a young couple who wants to expand, a retired couple who wants to keep it simple, business partners looking to develop rental homes or cabinas, or anyone who loves ocean breezes and sunsets. Don’t miss out on this fabulous opportunity!
