# Casa Belmer: Dominical Luxury Redefined
Dominical's reputation as Costa Rica's most authentic Pacific retreat—a bohemian coastal town beloved by surfers, artists, and those seeking genuine connection to nature—serves as the backdrop for this exceptional 0.52-acre property. This residence exemplifies the discerning buyer's ultimate find in Southern Costa Rica's competitive luxury market.
## The Vista That Defines the Home
A sweeping 180-degree ocean panorama dominates every thoughtfully designed space. From sunrise to the property's celebrated year-round sunsets, residents witness the sky's brilliant reflection dancing across the 14-meter infinity pool, with unobstructed sightlines toward Manuel Antonio's islands, Caño Island, Dominicalito's pristine beaches, and the Pacific's perpetual white-water drama. The cantilever construction—a sophisticated engineering solution by Ridegetop Construction—elevates viewing points higher and further from the mountainside, maximizing this coastal theater.
## Architecture as Seduction
Designed by the acclaimed team of Martin Wells and Manuel Montaresi for FRENCH Costa Rica, Casa Belmer orchestrates the senses at every threshold. A custom floating entrance walkway spans water features, leading to an open floor plan where 3-meter retractable sliding glass doors dissolve boundaries between interior and exterior living. Vaulted 17-foot ceilings and 1,052 square meters of travertine flooring—sourced from premium suppliers—create seamless flow throughout the 11,300 square feet of meticulously crafted space (5,650 sq ft interior; 8,560 sq ft covered areas).
## Three Master Suites, Three Distinct Sanctuaries
Each of the three bedrooms commands personal ocean views and features a 5-piece ensuite bathroom with double vanities, rain showers, and soaking tubs. Walk-in closets provide ample storage. The master bath showcases a dramatic shower with Manuel Antonio vistas, premium fixtures, and travertine detailing. The lower bedroom's showpiece—an immense granite soaking tub set within private gardens—offers a contemplative retreat.
## The Chef's Domain and Entertainment Spaces
The 185-square-meter main living area anchors culinary and social life. The kitchen commands a 17-foot island with porcelain countertops, featuring a Wolf 48-inch dual-oven gas range with six burners and griddle, Sub-Zero paneled refrigerator and freezer, and a five-foot prep sink. An adjoining air-conditioned pantry with marble island, additional Bosch dishwasher, and extensive storage supports elaborate entertaining. The six-burner BBQ station overlooks the ocean; a dedicated outdoor shower with waterfall head completes the alfresco experience.
## Fire, Water, and Starlight
The sunken fire pit, accessed via the infinity pool's edge, transforms evenings into unforgettable gatherings. The 14-meter x 4-meter infinity pool appears to spill into the Pacific. A tumbled travertine and limestone floating staircase and 3.6-meter art wall (concealing the television) showcase architectural distinction. Two powder rooms serve guests throughout the main and garden areas.
## Intelligent Living
C4 Studios' Crestron Smart Home system governs eight zones of customizable audio across bedrooms, bathrooms, gardens, and living spaces—all accessible via smartphone or tablet. Professional North American lighting design and imported hardware create automated ambiance. The system expands to manage curtains, air conditioning, and security while maintaining UPS battery backup with intelligent load-shedding capabilities.
## Infrastructure and Comfort
A professional water filtration system (sediment, charcoal, UV) feeds a 5,000-liter cistern with submersible pump. Automatic garden watering systems nurture professionally designed, mature landscaping—including 10-year-old bromeliads and palms—under smart-controlled landscape lighting. An Ajax wireless security system provides autonomous monitoring with SIM card integration. A two-car garage and outdoor spaces complete the functional design.
## A Curated Sanctuary
Every element has been thoughtfully sourced. The home arrives fully furnished with globally curated pieces: IKSEL decorative wallpaper from France, oversized Turkish cushions, light fixtures from Morocco, Bali, and Canada, Balinese king beds, Spanish fish-scale tiles, Belgian antiques, and a locally sourced eight-foot tree-root dining table. House linens from Canada and Spain reflect the same meticulous curation.
Ideally situated in the exclusive Las Olas gated community—walking distance to Dominical's renowned beaches and world-class surfing—Casa Belmer offers unprecedented access to Pacific Coast living.
