Property overview

Casa Artística sits on 5,000 square meters in the hills of Escaleras, elevated on a steel structure approximately fifteen feet above the forest floor and positioned between Uvita and Dominical for direct access to both. Scala Plaza — a restaurant, specialty market, and spa — is less than one kilometer away; beaches, waterfalls, and town services are all within easy reach.

The home's character comes from its materials. Guapinol (Brazilian cherry) hardwood floors run throughout. Handcrafted shutters built from Indonesian hardwoods — many of them reclaimed antiques from Java, over a century old — add a depth that can't be replicated with new construction. An indoor pool anchors the main living area and opens to wrap-around terraces that frame the surrounding rainforest canopy. A suspended fireplace imported from France and an antique standalone soaking tub positioned to face the sunset in the primary suite round out an interior that reads less like a furnished home and more like a curated space.

The structure runs primarily on solar power despite being connected to the local grid, which meaningfully reduces operating costs in day-to-day use. A diverse collection of mature exotic fruit trees surrounds the property, adding privacy and a genuine connection to the land.

For buyers drawn to architecture with real provenance and materials that have traveled to get here, Casa Artística is a different kind of acquisition. The Escaleras hills location adds consistent breezes, ocean views, and easy coastal access to a 381-square-meter home that would be impossible to recreate at this price in this location.
