THE SETTING

The gated lands stretch across lush hillsides and bless with elevated mountain and Pacific Ocean vistas. The property stretches over 8448m2 or 2.09 acres. While private & serene, its only minutes away from beaches, restaurants, grocers and all types of amenities and luxuries.
THE HOME – CASA VIOLINES
Casa Violines is a bright, beautifully crafted home designed to showcase the sweeping ocean views below. This luxury 3bed, 3bath residence features soaring ceilings over an open central area with a fully equipped kitchen, living space, and breakfast bar. A folding glass wall opens to the patio, infinity pool, and breathtaking 180° ocean panoramas while abundant windows fill the home with natural light and tropical views.
Two ensuite bedrooms open directly to the patio, while a third bedroom with two single beds creates an ideal guest suite. All bedrooms offer views & generous storage.
The spacious patio is the star—sunny, scenic, and perfect for lounging, dining, or relaxing with the ever shifting ocean, jungle, and mountain vistas. The refreshing infinity pool shares the same breathtaking backdrop.
An electric gate, prepared driveway, and attached 2-car garage add a peace of mind & convenience. This garage can easily convert to a functional space or a guest room/cabin – a very flexible addition.
The home is airconditioned throughout and includes ample storage, utility areas, and a fully equipped laundry room. Internet is delivered vis Starlink – making the home ideal for both business & pleasure.
THE VIEWS
The Pacific Ocean shimmers below, with lowland rainforests flowing into the coastal mangroves and the vast Térraba River delta before the blue ocean leads the vista towards the horizon. Far beyond, the Osa Peninsula and Corcovado National Park rise into view, while Caño Island stands a silent sentinel at the edge of the Pacific horizon.
Behind the home, dramatic coastal mountains tower over 1,000 meters (3,300 feet), their near-vertical slopes sending waterfalls cascading hundreds of meters during the green season. All around, rainforest-covered foothills pulse with the wildlife Costa Rica is known for — monkeys, macaws, blue morpho butterflies, sloths, anteaters, glass frogs, and countless jungle neighbours that you will soon acquaint with.
ACCESS
Under 10 minutes form the Costanera highway, the road includes both paved and prepared sections as it climbs through the jungles, over the rivers, across soaring ridges and down lush valleys – with stunning ocean & mountain views all around. A secure gate guards the entry to the condominium grounds.
LOCAL AREA
A quick drive to the Costanera and under 15-25 minutes to the beach, world-class restaurants, bars, shopping, golf, jungle walks, swim-holes, and waterfalls. Supermarkets, hospitals, doctors, dentists, accountants, lawyers, mechanics, hardware and garden shops, ceviche stands, yoga studios, gyms, barbers, and hairdressers are all close by. Playa Ventanas and her thundering sea caves sit just down the hill, as does the wild Playa Tortuga where sea turtles nest. Instagram-famous Pavón (Peacock) Waterfall, with its dramatic overhanging boulder, is a quick swing around the corner. Nearby Uvita’s Marino Ballena NP offers whale watching, sport fishing, and ecoadventure activities, while Palmar showcases the mysterious pre-Colombian stone spheres in two beautiful outdoor parks. With so much to explore and enjoy, expat living in Costa Ballena feels like the perfect choice.
