Ocean View Home with Rainforest Setting in Escaleras of Dominical

Property overview

Ocean View Home with Rainforest Setting in Escaleras of Dominical

This new property is in the Escaleras neighborhood, one of the most popular places to buy a home in Costa Rica. Due to the area's cool mountain setting and close proximity to the beach, Escaleras is definitely the place to be. There is nowhere else quite like this in Costa Rica, which is why real estate in this specific part of the country has become such a hot commodity.

Open-Concept Layout That Opens to Nature

This newly constructed single-level residence features an open floor plan with design elements that tactfully open the home up to gorgeous outdoor spaces. The vaulted ceilings and large sliding glass doors in the main living area create a smooth transition between two different worlds.

The views from the western side of the home are dominated by blue hues with a tropical pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean. To the east, the setting completely transforms into an emerald green rainforest setting with old-growth trees and a natural freshwater creek flowing in the backyard. With nothing but rainforest-covered mountainside behind the property, you will enjoy complete privacy — other than the howler monkeys and toucans that are regularly seen here.

The Home

Two master suites on the western side feature ocean views, private bathrooms, spacious closets, and direct access to the pool lounge area. The two bedrooms on the eastern side feature ample storage space and direct access to the rainforest backyard. The home also includes a fully equipped kitchen with granite counters, a laundry room, a storage room, and a third full bathroom located off of the living room. Luxurious Guanacaste wood finishes were used throughout the entire home, including custom kitchen cabinets, windows, and doors.

Recently added is a two-car garage; on top of this garage is a one-bedroom/one-bath guest apartment currently being used as a gym with a large amount of modern gym equipment.

The Grounds

The property is almost one acre with beautifully landscaped grounds, spacious front and back yards, an outdoor shower, ample parking with a covered carport, and room to spare for a caretaker's home. It is entirely fenced — perfect for pet owners — and easily accessed off a well-maintained public road with controlled gated access.

Modern Efficiencies That Reduce Energy Consumption

Completed in November 2018, this home was intelligently designed to take full advantage of the latest advancements in construction. Built to U.S. specifications, the owner/builder created a beautiful home that is designed to be both luxurious and cost-effective with clean solar and energy-efficient strategies:

- 5.2 kW of grid-tied solar - Solar hot water - Electric bill significantly reduced - High-efficiency 24 SEER Carrier A/C units (6 total) - Saltwater infinity pool with programmable variable-speed high-efficiency pool pump - LED lighting throughout - Water treatment system — sewage comes out clean enough to use for irrigation - Clay tile roof, metal subroof, 3" insulation with a wooden ceiling - Professional kitchen Blue Star range ($5,000) - Tempered security glass on all windows and sliding doors - Locking Bodega and loft storage - LiftMaster electric gate with remotes - 11 high-efficiency LED ceiling fans imported from the States

Turnkey Ready, Close to Dominical and Uvita

Situated only a short drive from the beach and the region's most popular attractions, this home also functions quite well as an income producer. Other than personal items, the home is selling turnkey ready with all the necessities required to move in today or continue renting as a short-term income-producing vacation rental.

The smart single-level design makes it even more desirable to elderly renters or buyers looking to retire in Costa Rica. If you are seeking a high-quality home with an exceptional location, we highly encourage you to include this specific property on your Costa Rican real estate tour.
