Property overview

# Top of the World: Ocean View Home with Guest Apartment – Platanillo, Costa Rica

This 0.88-acre sanctuary in Platanillo combines the tranquility of cloud forest living with genuine convenience—a rare find in Costa Rica's Southern Pacific region, where remote beauty often comes at the cost of accessibility. Situated within the established Finca Ipe community, the property enjoys maintained roads, thoughtful neighboring homes, and the freedom of zero HOA obligations.

Built in 2021, the main residence showcases contemporary tropical design through soaring ceilings, refined wooden architecture, and practical sustainability features including solar power generation for both electricity and hot water. A generous 4m x 9m covered terrace frames panoramic mountain and ocean vistas, while the open-concept kitchen and living/dining area anchor the home's social spaces. Three bedrooms—one configured as a flexible loft/office—and two full bathrooms (including an ensuite within the master suite) provide ample accommodation. The master bedroom commands its own ocean view, walk-in closet, and spa-like ensuite. Parking accommodates four vehicles across covered and open spaces.

The independent 42m² guest apartment on the lower level functions as a complete residential unit, featuring its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living area, laundry facilities, and covered parking—making it equally suited for visiting family, full-time staff, or consistent rental revenue.

High-speed fiber optic internet ensures modern connectivity despite the jungle setting. The surrounding property remains wild and alive with native bird populations and wildlife, yet retains sufficient open terrain for a future guest casita or swimming pool. Platanillo's location hub, San Isidro de El General (30 minutes), anchors the region's medical facilities, banking, supermarkets, and burgeoning restaurant culture, while the weekly Tinamastes Organic Market brings farm-fresh produce and community directly to your doorstep.

Dominical's legendary beaches—celebrated for surfing, yoga retreats, and cosmopolitan energy—sit just 15 minutes downhill. Within easy reach: Nauyaca's iconic two-tiered waterfalls, the hidden intensity of Eco Chontales, and Diamante's dramatic cave system. This property serves equally well as a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or purposeful income generator.
