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.

ENTERTAIN INSIDE AND OUT!

Stunning ocean views- big blue and whitewater, glorious roving sunsets in orange, purple, and gold, and deep, lush green valley bless this five-bedroom, four-bathroom single-family 2,495 sqft. inside +2,000 sqft. outside home on 6.9 acres of the most sought after land in the south.

This is Costa Rica at its best. The town of Ojochal is famous for its quiet, residential plan, undeveloped beaches, and gourmet dining but only a few privileged folks get all that at their door. Located on the exclusive Calle Perezoso, Solmar is only three minutes from the epicerie, exceptional dining, spa, and pharmacy, and five minutes from incredible Playa Tortuga and Playa Ventanas.

BLUE GREEN AND GREAT ALL OVER!

It starts at the automatic front gate with shade trees, bird of paradise, and deep-red heliconia. A gentle climb to the two-bedroom, one-bath gatehouse (yours to rent or make the perfect studio) opens into green fields rich with mangos, rose apples, mangosteen, bananas, lemon, coconut, rambutan, grapefruits, and kumquat. Then, get ready to gasp because just pulling into your parking lot is like pulling into paradise.

Park the car and choose the stairs or ramp to the big terrace, stone-tile pool, and generous outdoor living space where a six-panel sliding door brings the outside in. The in-pool bar, cool jacuzzi, two living rooms, dining area, kitchen, and fifth bedroom/office all look out at the mouth of the famous Terraba River & Pacific Ocean and just beyond, precious Caño Island. Bedrooms and bathrooms 1-4 offer lush green foliage and the sounds of the jungle.

If December 2020 is any indication, the luxury real estate market in Costa Rica will be particularly hot in 2021!

After almost a full year of the new Covid-19 reality, luxury home buyers are looking for larger living spaces, heart-stopping views, and a serene and spa-like atmosphere to spend their time. The first and second home market is no exception, and few places in the world offer a more enjoyable climate, a more active and inspiring lifestyle, and a calmer and relaxed way of life than Costa Rica.

Our team of award-winning Costa Rica luxury experts is predicting that 2021 will be especially interesting in the Southern Pacific region of Costa Rica. This area is known locally as the Costa Ballena (whale’s coast), and the dramatic landscapes and the unspoiled beaches offer a unique opportunity for homebuyers to experience a mountainous topography which rises out of the warm blue Pacific waters. The wildlife is abundant and thriving here on the tip of the Osa Peninsula which is accredited as the most bio-diverse region on earth.

The luxury homes in this region of Costa Rica are predominantly on large parcels of ocean view land, with intense sunset ocean views. There is a mix of Mediterranean and modern architecture, with large outdoor living spaces, and a perfect blend of luxury, convenience, and tropical wonder. Luxury homes will range between the low to mid-one-million-dollar range, up to almost nine-million-dollars.

Access to the Costa Ballenas is an enjoyable 3.5-hour drive from the international airport in San Jose, or a quick 20-minute flight on one of the local airlines. In-country charter flights are readily available, and some homes boast private helipads.

Trendsetters and well-traveled clients who are looking for a second or third vacation home are already actively buying homes in the Costa Ballena region, and all signs point to an even more robust 2021 real estate market. Privacy and security are easily obtained in this part of Costa Rica, and the lifestyle is transformational for many of our discerning clients. Now is the best time to start your search, and our competent team is standing by to assist you.

Welcome to Casa Ultimo Sueno, the house of your dreams!

Perched on the front ridge facing the prime Costa Rican attraction, Whales Tail, in the coastal town of Uvita, Casa Último Sueño has been designed to offer the perfect luxurious oasis for even the most discerning home buyers. The views in this iconic community are world-renowned, and visitors to the Golden coast region often remark about the stunning tropical sunsets, the abundant wildlife, and the postcard-perfect ocean views of the world-famous 'Whales Tail' beach, which is a naturally formed structure in the shape of a whale’s tail, that jets out into the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. This home boasts the best views of the “Whales Tail", and some of the most dramatic sunsets on the western coast.

Casa Ultimo Sueno was designed and built by an award-winning builder from the United States, who has lived in Costa Rica for some time. This is worth noting, because the quality of construction is impressive, and from the moment you arrive at this remarkable estate, you will appreciate the placement of the main building, the layout of the exterior entertaining spaces, the inviting and tropical pool design, and the creative and inspiring landscaping. All of which were designed and constructed to maximize the coveted views and the tropical breezes. A lot of planning went into not only the design of the home, but also the location. The builder went through great lengths to secure and purchase this particular property, and in order to protect the privacy and to maximize the enjoyment of this world-class home, he has also included the neighboring lot with this sale. Casa Ultimo Sueno is built on a 2483m2, but this package also includes the adjacent 2378m2 lot. You can leave this lot natural to protect your privacy, or you may decide to build an additional home on this ocean view, fully serviced lot. The decision is yours!

The interior spaces at Casa Ultimo Sueno are all generous in size, very well appointed, and luxuriously constructed. Every detail of this estate is impressive and the craftsmanship is unparalleled. It is a joy to experience, and an absolute honor to own. The main home has 4 bedrooms on 2 levels. The open concept design not only offers the best layout for entertaining; the design concepts also incorporate the lush and natural rainforest to create a seamless transition from the outside in, harmonizing the lush jungle environment with the impressive living spaces. Natural light from the glass windows and wide glass doors draw your attention to the rich finishes and stunning craftmanship in every room all while looking out at the amazing views that have been carefully opened throughout.

The exterior spaces of this ocean view estate are nothing short of extraordinary. The rich tropical landscaping highlights all of the wondrous plant life of Costa Rica. The placement of the construction maximizes the ocean views and the wonderful sunsets, but the crème de la crème of this amazing home is the custom pool area. “impressive”, “expansive”, “well designed”, and “inviting” are just a few of the words that can help describe this astonishing space. The visionary planning of this space has resulted in a sensational spa-like retreat that is both soothing and invigorating. It is perfect for entertaining large groups, or smaller more intimate gatherings with a great bottle of wine. It is ideal for exciting pool parties, or the perfect place to unwind, meditate, and reflex on all that is great in this world. You will be inspired by the stories that are shared, and by the stories that are made in this area of the estate.
