Discover the ultimate Costa Rican sanctuary nestled in the mountains of Escaleras, a name that translates to “stairs” and fittingly describes the home’s grand, multi-level layout rising above the Pacific. This stunning estate lies just outside Dominical on Costa Rica’s lush southern coast, offering a rare combination of privacy, luxury, and breathtaking ocean views. The property’s nine sprawling acres are surrounded by vibrant gardens and pristine jungle, drawing in daily visits from Costa Rica’s famed wildlife—from playful monkeys and elegant sloths to toucans serenading the sunset.
Enter through impressive gates, where a beautifully interlocked driveway leads up to a motor court area complete with a two-car garage, coach house, and a grand circular rotunda beneath a sweeping portico. As you make your way inside, you’ll be greeted by a vast, open estate featuring four generously-sized bedroom suites, each with its own en suite bathroom and mesmerizing views of the ocean and tropical canopy.
The largest suite offers an exclusive haven with a private covered terrace, outdoor living and dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and a separate entrance for utmost privacy. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, the principal suite and living room open up through walls of glass, connecting to expansive terraces that frame a stunning infinity pool and multi-person Jacuzzi, perfect for enjoying panoramic sunsets.
For those who love to entertain, the estate is equipped with a chef’s kitchen, a spacious pantry, and an expansive outdoor grilling area. A guest suite above the garage includes a bed area with en suite bath, full kitchen, and charming Juliet balcony with sweeping sea views.
Closer to the gated entrance, you’ll find a cozy one-bedroom guest house complete with a full kitchen, covered terrace, and tranquil forest views.
This turnkey property, designed with Costa Rica’s unique climate in mind, is ready to be enjoyed as a private estate or transformed into a boutique hotel or retreat center. Located just 2 km from the coast on a well-maintained road, the home is within 5–10 minutes of spectacular beaches, where you can witness the annual arrival of humpback whales, who return each year to birth their calves in the waters below.
In this one-of-a-kind estate, where the mountains dramatically rise from the ocean, you’ll experience the beauty, serenity, and unparalleled lifestyle that only Costa Rica can offer.
