Terming the phrase “Responsible Luxury” at Villa Mareas:

Villa Mareas is an idealistic corporate or private retreat property, boasting luxurious accommodations which are renowned for their luxury, both in design and function. Situated on 36 acres of primary and secondary rainforests, this iconic property is the ideal location for those who wish to preserve the rare and at-risk trees that are established on the estate, and those who wish to protect the vast wildlife that is flourishing and thriving in this location.

Carefully constructed at the end of the road in one of the most sought after locations in the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica, Villa Mareas has done a remarkable and admirable job of protecting the primary rainforest that survived the clear-cutting of the 1970s and replanting countless indigenous hardwood trees, and thousands of fruit and flowering trees. A recent forestry study and wildlife survey has confirmed that Villa Mareas is a capsule in time of lush, rich rainforest and birds and animals that are in danger of losing their natural environment in neighboring communities.

Villa Mareas is bordered by a 200-acre preserve on its northern border which reaches much higher altitudes than this amazing estate property does. The preservation work and the commitment of the owners to ensure responsible management of this natural treasure has created a corridor for several bird and animal species, as well as a safe haven for the numerous species of birds, cats, and monkeys who thrive at this slightly lower altitude than the bordering 200-acre preserve.

The Main Villa rules over the estate with the class of an exotic country club. You are greeted by the vaulted mosaic barrel ceiling of the entryway, which leads you to the great room with its vaulted teak wood beam ceiling with chandelier. On the ground floor sits a sunken lounge area with a handcrafted wooden bar, a quiet reading nook, as well as indoor and outdoor dining areas. The professional kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances, granite countertops, and dehumidified pantry. A covered BBQ grill area is connected to the outdoor dining area. The second floor holds two rooms, currently used as a spa room and office, as well as a yoga pavilion and ocean view area.

Extending out the sliding glass patio doors sits the mosaic-tiled patio with loungers and sitting area, this is the optimal area to enjoy the sunset views. The 1,700 sq. ft. award-winning infinity pool finished with glistening imported blue glass tiles features shallow “beach” sections, a calming waterfall, a Jacuzzi, and an outdoor shower. The ocean view framed by the surrounding rainforest, which extends off the infinity pool, will make your heart skip a beat.

To the south of the Main Villa, you discover the two Guest Villas. Each Villa has four bedrooms, two 700 sq ft junior suites on the ground level, and two 1,400 sq ft master suites with balconies on the second level. The Oceanview Guest Villa rests at the front of the property overlooking the pool area, with views of the ocean sunsets and rainforest views from all rooms, it is easily accessed from the Main Villa. The jungle view Guest Villa rests back from the Main Villa, privately surrounded by the manicured gardens and primary rainforest. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning and ceiling fans and finished with porcelain tile, stone sinks, glass tiled showers, and tropical detailing.

The surrounding property features 4 miles of hiking trails and 3 private waterfalls, including one with a 30-foot drop. There is ample land for further building of additional small villas or bungalows.

With a successful vacation rental history over the last 4 years, this Villa Estate has been the top choice in the Dominical area for TV production crews, yoga retreats, weddings, and family vacations.

This Villa Estate offers leisure and privacy at its finest, to be used as a luxury retreat property, or as a privileged hideaway.

The momentum coming into 2021 was unlike anything we have experienced before. In Q1 alone, Hilton & Hyland sold over $249 million worth of listings priced at $10 million and above while the demand for quality homes has consistently increased. When the pandemic arrived in the U.S. last spring, buyers set their sights on privacy, fresh air and neighborhoods less densely populated, with areas like Malibu and the Pacific Palisades taking the lead. Malibu, prized for its private beaches and cool ocean breeze, and the Palisades for the typical large backyards and Pacific horizon views, both towns have seen have seen a dramatic influx of interest and multiple offers for nearly every address.

Our market is the hottest it has been since 2006, and all of this is happening without the presence of international buyers. While most business is being done domestically, when global interests and investments return to the states, our market will truly be the #1 market in the world. Whether it is Bel Air, Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills or the Valley, we should expect an even more bustling and active market when international buyers return to the scene.

While inventory remains at record lows, Hilton & Hyland continues our dominance in the luxury real estate space. Currently representing over $2.3 billion worth of listings priced at $25 million and above, property values remain at all-time highs and we are still firmly in a seller’s market. Not only is Los Angeles experiencing incredible sales prices, sellers are still looking for homes of every type in the city – high-rise condos, palatial estates, starter homes, canyon compounds, and historical gems, to name a few.

Music icon Madonna has purchased a 13,391-square-foot mansion in Hidden Hills from Grammy-winning singer, The Weeknd.

The Hidden Hills home was built in 2017 and purchased that same year by The Weeknd for $20 million. The singer recently put the home on the market for $21.995 million, which was then purchased by Madonna for $19.3 million.

Sitting on three acres of land, the modern farmhouse-style property includes the main home and a guest home. The main home features seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. A laundry list of impressive amenities are also included, such as a bridge entrance, a chef’s kitchen, a refrigerated wine cellar, a home theater, a music lounge, a study, a gym, an outdoor kitchen, and an eight-stall barn. The 1,200 square foot guesthouse features two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The outdoor amenities include an infinity pool, a spa, a fire pit, and a cabana complete with an outdoor living room.

This new purchase will be a change of scenery for Madonna who has spent much of her time in the Moorish Revival mansion near Lisbon, Portugal which she purchased back in 2017.

The listing was held by Angel Salvador at the Agency. Trevor Wright at the Beverly Hills Estates represented the buyer.

Terming the phrase “Responsible Luxury” at Villa Mareas:

Villa Mareas is an idealistic corporate or private retreat property, boasting luxurious accommodations which are renowned for its luxury, both in design and function. Situated on 36 acres of primary and secondary rainforests, this iconic property is the ideal location for those who wish to preserve the rare and at-risk trees that are established on the estate, and those who wish to protect the vast wildlife that is flourishing and thriving in this location.

Carefully constructed at the end of the road in one of the most sought after locations in the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica, Villa Mareas has done a remarkable and admirable job of protecting the primary rainforest that survived the clear cutting of 1970’s, and replanting countless indigenous hardwood trees, and thousands of fruit and flowering trees. A recent forestry study and wildlife survey has confirmed that Villa Mareas is a capsule in time of lush, rich rainforest and birds and animals that are in danger of losing their natural environment in neighboring communities.

Villa Mareas is bordered by a 200 acre preserve on its northern border which reaches much higher altitudes than this amazing estate property does. The preservation work and the commitment of the owners to ensure responsible management of this natural treasure has created a corridor for several bird and animal species, as well as a safe haven for the numerous species of birds, cats, and monkeys who thrive at this slightly lower altitude than the bordering 200 acre preserve.

The Main Villa rules over the estate with the class of an exotic country club. You are greeted by the vaulted mosaic barrel ceiling of the entryway, which leads you to the great room with its vaulted teak wood beam ceiling with chandelier. On the ground floor sits a sunken lounge area with handcrafted wooden bar, quiet reading nook, as well as indoor and outdoor dining areas. The professional kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances, granite countertops and dehumidified pantry. A covered BBQ grill area is connected to the outdoor dining area. The second floor holds two rooms, currently used as a spa room and office, as well as a yoga pavilion and ocean view area.

Extending out the sliding glass patio doors sits the mosaic tiled patio with loungers and sitting area, this is the optimal area to enjoy the sunset views. The 1,700 sq. ft. award winning infinity pool finished with glistening imported blue glass tiles features shallow “beach” sections, a calming waterfall, a Jacuzzi and an outdoor shower. The ocean view framed by the surrounding rainforest, which extends off the infinity pool, will make your heart skip a beat.

To the South of the Main Villa you discover the two Guest Villas. Each Villa has four bedrooms, two 700 sq ft junior suites on the ground level and two 1,400 sq ft master suites with balconies on the second level. The Ocean view Guest Villa rests at the front of the property overlooking the pool area, with views of the ocean sunsets and rainforest views from all rooms, it is easily accessed from the Main Villa. The jungle view Guest Villa rests back from the Main Villa, privately surrounded by the manicured gardens and primary rainforest. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning and ceiling fans, finished with porcelain tile, stone sinks, glass tiled showers and tropical detailing.

The surrounding property features 4 miles of hiking trails and 3 private waterfalls, including one with a 30 foot drop. There is ample land for further building of additional small villas or jungalows.

With a successful vacation rental history over the last 4 years this Villa Estate has been the top choice in the Dominical area for TV production crews, yoga retreats, weddings and family vacations.

This Villa Estate offers leisure and privacy at its finest, to be used as a luxury retreat property, or as a privileged hideaway.

How do new and older constructions compare price-wise in Costa Rica?

The median price for newer luxury construction is approximately $350sqft. There are some extraordinary older luxury estates available for as little as $280 per sq ft.

How is the Spring real estate season in Costa Rica like?

Typically the spring season is one of our strongest markets. "Summer" in Costa Rica is from December - April. Midseason is from May-August, and the rainy season is from September-November.

What questions do you get about life in Costa Rica around this time of the year?

The most common questions relate to property taxes, which are very low (1/4 of 1% of the property value), and the buying process for foreigners. Foreigners enjoy all of the rights of ownership as citizens do in Costa Rica.

How did the first quarter of 2020 real estate perform in Costa Rica?

 January and February were very strong. Because of the COCID-19 virus, global markets have slowed in March and April. Some savvy investors, however, have taken advantage of this slow down to secure some amazing deals in the luxury market.

How do you overcome objections that can come at the end of a sale?

Objections in Costa Rica are fairly easy to overcome. The more informed and educated the client becomes about the benefits of ownership in Costa Rica, the easier it is to close a sale. We make an effort to provide our clients with as much information as possible

Impressively constructed in a timeless style, this mansion boasts constantly flowing ocean breezes through the open concept reception and lounge. The huge custom designed infinity pool seemingly connects the warm and inviting blue water of the pool to the blue water of the Pacific. The construction is an art form, and furnishings and decor were proudly selected to showcase good taste, the atmosphere is of casual elegance. At an altitude of 600 feet, you will feel like you are floating above the gentle waves, and as the day ends, you will be washed with the crimson light of the spectacular sunsets that the Southern Pacific zone is famous for. Inspiring, dreamy, and designed to provide complete relaxation and enjoyment for all who experience this it.

The dramatic views and the lush green surroundings feel like paradise. The location of the property is ideal. Located approximately 1km from the highway, yet a world away from everything.

The magnificent accommodations include nine tastefully decorated rooms, with options that will satisfy even the most discerning traveler. This iconic property is referred to as 'The Castle" (El Castillo), not only for the fabulous construction, but also because of the regal atmosphere that was intentionally created by the owners. The room configuration includes one garden room with king bed, three ocean view rooms, each with a king bed, one 2-bedroom suite, two ocean-view suites, and 2 spa suites.

Although this property is currently used as a luxurious boutique hotel, we feel that the best use of this masterpiece is to return it to its intended use as a private ocean view home.

Allow yourself to be seduced by its curves, and let the extraordinary views capture your imagination. We are standing by.

The 60-story skyscraper’s 26 signature penthouses are made up of 18 large single-story residences and eight two-story duplex units, located in the circular upper core of the tower. They range in price between $3.5 and $11 million. The impressive layouts have between 3,500 and over 6,000 square feet, with four or five bedrooms per residence.

There are four duplex penthouses on the 54^th, 55^th and 57^th floors, part of the tower’s four-level Skydeck. The striking design resembles an Italian super yacht, featuring a sky view lounge, sunrise pool, observatory, infinity pool, sundeck and Tai Chi deck.

The Penthouse Collection at PARAMOUNT has top-of-the-line luxuries. These include private elevator access to the units, chef kitchens within the units with 12-foot islands and luxurious appliances like full-size wine coolers and induction cooktops from premium brands Sub-Zero and Wolf.

The 10-foot ceilings in all of the living spaces provide natural light and views that are unequaled. Imagine waking up every day looking at Biscayne Bay, bustling downtown Miami, and the cruises arriving and departing from the Port of Miami. Then think of the sunsets to delight your eyes.

Other features in the units include expansive outdoor living rooms, and bathrooms complete with rain showers and spa tubs.

“The Penthouse Collection is yet another testament to the new dimension PARAMOUNT Miami Worldcenter is introducing to the market,” said developer Daniel Kodsi. “A true rarity, our penthouse residents will enjoy expansive floorplans and oversized, outdoor living rooms, designed to feel like a true single family home in the sky with sweeping 180 degree views and all of the benefits of our urban location and unmatched amenity offerings.”

Widely regarded as the most amenitized building in the U.S., PARAMOUNT boasts its Upper Deck, which has opened as the largest amenity deck in the country. Situated 90 feet above downtown Miami, with the country’s first outdoor soccer field in a high-rise residential development, along with two tennis courts, a resort-style pools, multiple bungalows, and more. Last summer, PARAMOUNT began closing on their residences and residents have already begun moving into their units.

The residences at PARAMOUNT have amazed the highest of expectations from the real estate world, garnering attention from a global audience and buyers. More than 57 countries are represented among the buyers of residences at PARAMOUNT. Over 90% of the residential units at PARAMOUNT have been sold with more than $400 million in sales of their 500+ city- and bay-view units. Residences in the tower range in size from 1,180 to 2,350 square feet, with a starting price of $750 per square foot.

These properties have the goods when it comes to being ready and well stocked for pool season.

So, let's don bathing suits and raise an umbrella drink to the glory of the SoCal pool life.

The Water's Edge Above San Diego

This Mediterranean-inspired estate used to be home to a female world number one tennis pro. It's wood covered patio leads to waterfall grottos that flow into an infinity edge pool that looks out on views of Rancho Santa Fe and the San Dieguito River Valley.

Infinity edge pools trick the eye into thinking that water has no boundaries. Standing inside the pool and looking west, a swimmer would have the illusion of the water blending seamlessly with the pale blue sky.

This pool would be the perfect 19th hole after a day spent swinging clubs on the Crosby Golf Club course.

Splash Around In Sheryl Crow's Former Pad

Sheryl Crow relisted her three-home spread this year. Consisting of a Spanish Revival style house, a craftsman's home, and a cozy cottage, this LA compound could rock any size party.

Take the winding pathways between properties, past the tepee, to a pleasant infinity pool with plenty of comfy lounge chairs and shady spots to kick back.

The pool was designed by Jonny Appleseed Landscaping who brings 25 years of garden and pool making experience to craft an outdoor oasis that considers the wind, weather, sun, and style as all part of the design.

A Blend of Water and Concrete Becomes a Work of Art

This modern Rancho Santa Fe estate melds the indoors and outdoors with wet and dry spaces in an architectural pattern that is both artful and soothing.

Blue tiles blur the water's edge that jigsaws through the palatial patio space, running at one point under a shady portico and in other spots reflecting the passing clouds in the open sky above.

While this massive pool begs the owner to invite many guests, a smaller plunge pool nearby offers a peaceful place for quiet introspection or more intimate gatherings.

Open Space and Clean White Lines Lead to This Pool

This tropical Encino home features fine architecture on a green lot with a huge pool in the backyard.

Swim laps in the big pool before recovering in the connected whirlpool spa. A great expanse of space bordered by tall trees, this gleaming place belongs to those hearty souls wanting to swim freely, breath deeply, and enjoy the feel of cool water on their backs and soft grass between their toes.

Bath Haus

Courtesy of Meshberg Group

The Bath Haus at 139 Huron St, in Greenpoint, is a beautifully designed building from Meshberg Group, offering a mere nine residences inside ranging from studios to an elegant penthouse. While Greenpoint is a vibrant post-industrial neighborhood with great views of Manhattan, residents are given a taste of suburban living in this city living structure. This pot filler faucet above the stove adds a level of convenience and elegance to the kitchen space—something you would find in a suburban home.

525 West 52nd Street

Courtesy 525W52

In this concrete jungle, the only grass you will find is in Central Park or the few other parks scattered around. Having a green space of your own is considered a luxury in city living and residents at 525 West 52nd Street have their own grass area, 20 stories in the air. The rooftop lounge features real grass, which is great for kids and adults who want to relax on the grass.

Skyline Tower

Courtesy Binyan Studios

Skyline Tower, a new residential tower in Long Island City, has four luxury penthouses that feature an amenity scarcely found in NYC apartments – garbage disposals. Garbage disposals were illegal in NYC until 1997 and many developers have yet to implement them in projects, making them a rare luxury for many. Designed by Hill West Architects’ interior design arm, Whitehall Interiors, gourmet kitchens at Skyline Tower are equipped with top-of-the-line stainless-steel Bosch appliances.

1000M

Courtesy Miller Hare

Chicago is among the largest cities in America and even has a skyline punctuated by skyscrapers. With that said, finding an atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the streets can be difficult. 1000M's eleventh-floor outdoor terrace is the solution to introducing the suburban convenience of distance from others. Residents can lounge between trees on the several hammocks floating around the terrace.

1400 West Monroe

Courtesy of 1400 West Monroe

Located in the heart of West Loop, 1400 West Monroe, is a collection of 42 luxury residences uniting residents with the neighborhood around them. While the building is surrounded by large grass areas and a quiet residential street, its the planter boxes adorning exterior windows that introduces suburban amenities to city living.

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach

Courtesy The Ritz-Carlton Residences

Miami may have its beaches, but many are without yard space, especially residents living in high rises. The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach, provides its residents with an onsite food forest and garden, where they can pick their own fruits, vegetables, and herbs to use in the privacy of their own home.

Residence 950

If you've ever dreamed of having your own pool, you probably never thought it would be possible while living in a city. Residence 950 is a luxurious urban estate perched on top of San Francisco's Russian Hill, which commands stunning views of the city. However, the views are much better from the cantilevered infinity edge lap pool– a suburban amenity taken to new heights.
