Elevated Coastal Living on Costa Rica’s Gold Coast

Perched high above Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, this exceptional $2.3 million architectural estate offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, refined design, and expansive white-water ocean views. Set on 2.1 acres within the 300-acre Finca Los Sueños Biological Community Nature Reserve, the property occupies a rare elevated position between the white-sand fishing village of San Juanillo and Ostional, renowned for its sea turtle nesting beaches.

Designed as a sophisticated retreat rather than simply a residence, the single-story home is equally focused on architectural beauty and long-term livability. Every detail has been considered for effortless movement and comfort, from its step-free circulation and wide doorways to accessible bathrooms, covered arrival, and seamless connections between the interior, patios, pool deck, and outdoor living spaces. The result is a home designed to be enjoyed for years to come, including by multigenerational households and those looking to age in place.

The main living spaces open toward an extraordinary panorama of the Pacific, culminating in an approximately 40-foot by 14-foot infinity-edge lap pool. A center lap line, entry stairs, and soaking bench transform the pool into both a striking architectural feature and a place for everyday wellness. The surrounding outdoor spaces are designed for long afternoons and evenings, with a covered patio, teak loungers, outdoor kitchenette, Blackstone griddle, Weber charcoal grill, and en-suite bedroom patios.

Inside, the residence pairs durable architectural systems with carefully considered finishes, including Laja stone, Spanish and Italian tile, stucco walls, oversized glass doors, and abundant natural ventilation.

High-speed satellite internet, updated in June 2026, and USB charging throughout the living areas, bedrooms, and patios support modern connectivity without compromising the property’s sense of retreat.

The three bedrooms are privately positioned and each offers step-free access to its bathroom. Built-in desks and wardrobes in the first two bedrooms, blackout blinds, electric shades in the main living area and bathrooms, and an oversized lockable owner’s closet add both functionality and discretion.

Water is supported through AYA and ASADA oversight, community wells, a private 675-gallon underground reserve tank, and whole-home water softening. Security includes controlled community access, a private electronic gate, remote code management, intercom, Ring perimeter monitoring, and motion-activated lighting. A recently upgraded 40-foot, five-arm septic leach field provides additional capacity.

Beyond the architecture, the grounds reinforce the property’s connection to nature. Native dry-zone landscaping, fruit and flowering trees, and an ecological garden create habitat for butterflies, hummingbirds, and dragonflies. Practical amenities include surfboard storage, extensive hose connections, an irrigation system, dedicated maintenance paths, exterior storage, and service areas designed to make ownership and property management remarkably straightforward.

There is also room to expand the estate and create something uniquely your own. The lower area in front of the pool has already been measured and prepared for an approximately 40-by-60-foot multipurpose space, with potential for a half basketball court, volleyball, pickleball, or badminton. Alternatively, the space could be transformed into a lush garden, private yoga platform, wellness area, or even an additional guest house, subject to applicable approvals. The possibilities are as expansive as the setting.

An Established Hospitality Legacy

For an owner interested in continuing the property’s hospitality operation, the estate offers an additional layer of opportunity through the established vacation rental brand. The current owners are prepared to provide transition support to help preserve the property’s reputation, guest relationships, market recognition, and operational knowledge. The intention is to create continuity for returning guests while minimizing disruption during the transfer.

This creates a rare proposition: the ability to acquire not only a distinctive luxury residence within a protected natural setting, but also the potential to continue an established vacation rental operation with an existing market presence and track record.

Private, highly considered, and immersed in nature, this is a property for those who value exceptional design as much as they value the landscape beyond their windows. Here, Pacific horizons, protected wilderness, wellness-oriented living, and a sophisticated architectural residence come together in one of Costa Rica’s most compelling coastal settings.
