Jungle and Ocean Architectural Masterpiece

A rare neo-modern masterpiece in the jungle, this extraordinary cliff-top estate presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a private sanctuary on the Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica’s world-famous Blue Zone, celebrated for longevity, beauty, and lifestyle. Rarely do properties of this caliber, scale, privacy, and architectural distinction come to market.

Sleek, sensual, alluring, and deeply soul-stirring, this 3.2-acre gated estate is perched dramatically above the Pacific Ocean, overlooking the coastline and one of the region’s most beautiful beaches, Playa de Las Manchas, just minutes from the eclectic, bohemian town of Montezuma. Completely private and surrounded by pristine jungle, the estate offers an exceptional sense of seclusion while remaining highly accessible.

Arrival is an experience in itself. A long, impeccably manicured, palm-lined private driveway guides you through lush jungle landscape to the entrance of this architectural masterpiece, immediately establishing a sense of exclusivity and calm. Once inside the gates, nature fully envelops the property. White-faced capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, toucans, iguanas, and a wide variety of tropical bird species are regular visitors, creating a living connection to Costa Rica’s extraordinary biodiversity.

One of the most remarkable and increasingly rare features of this estate is its large, flat, grassy lawns—a true luxury in Costa Rica—ideal for outdoor living, entertaining, wellness activities, or family enjoyment, all while maintaining total privacy and uninterrupted ocean views.

The 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom residence spans approximately 6,000 square feet of interior living space, plus expansive outdoor living areas designed to blur the boundary between architecture and nature. The home feels both grand and intimate—sophisticated yet welcoming—with generous proportions throughout, including an oversized infinity pool and multiple terraces that capture sweeping coastal and jungle vistas.

The property is fully self-sufficient, featuring full solar power, a private well, and a two-story studio at the front entrance, ideal for guests, staff, or creative use. The San Francisco–based owner has primarily enjoyed the estate as a private retreat, with occasional vacation rental use, allowing the property to function seamlessly as a personal sanctuary and/or an income-producing asset.

Architecturally, the estate is comprised of two distinct residences connected by a dramatic 35-meter (100-foot) negative-edge swimming pool that hugs the cliff ridge:

Casa A is a three-story residence featuring expansive open-plan living, kitchen, and dining areas on the main level, all opening through tall sliding glass doors onto a covered terrace with breathtaking ocean views. This level includes a large bathroom with an oversized shower, conveniently positioned for guests and pool use. Beyond this, a private corridor leads to a laundry room that can easily be converted into a fifth bedroom, and onward to a secure one-car garage. The upper level houses two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom.

The pool seamlessly connects Casa A to Casa B, a two-story structure with a bedroom and en-suite bathroom on each level. The upper bedroom opens onto a spacious rooftop terrace offering stunning jungle and ocean panoramas.

Construction measurements include:

• Casa A: 375 m² (4,000 ft²) interior + 180 m² (1,900 ft²) of private decks
• Casa B: 120 m² (1,290 ft²)
• Shared pool deck: 80 m² (860 ft²)
• Swimming pool: 130 m² (1,400 ft²)
• Entrance studio: 50 m², two stories, with lofted sleeping area, living space, kitchen, and bathroom

Additionally, the property includes a prime, buildable area south of the main villa, offering the opportunity to construct an additional residence with equally stunning coastal views while preserving complete privacy—an exceptional value-add for future expansion.

Located within Horizontes de Montezuma, an exclusive enclave known for its elevated cliff-ridge estates and spectacular Pacific views, the property offers easy access to Montezuma’s beaches, waterfalls, and jungles, Cobano for daily services, and convenient shortcut routes to Malpaís and Santa Teresa. The estate is approximately a 30–40 minute drive from Santa Teresa, one of Costa Rica’s most vibrant coastal destinations, internationally renowned for its world-class surf breaks, exceptional international restaurants, boutique shopping, and energetic nightlife—providing the perfect balance between serene seclusion and dynamic coastal lifestyle.

This is a true trophy property, a neo-modern jungle and ocean estate of architectural significance, privacy, and lasting value. A rare offering that will soon have a proud new owner.
