A Home Unlike Anything on the Market

This is a house with personality. Amid a strong market, what makes this property unique is both authenticity and style. The uniqueness of the house lies in its architecture, as well as in its personality. While many Homes for sale in Costa Rica are following the current modern tropical design trend, this residence offers something different.

Priced at $1,690,000. This retreat offers architectural authenticity and a deeply personal, cinematic character that sets it apart. While many minimalist jungle homes in Costa Rica's coastal settings pursue the same modern tropical aesthetic in the last decade, this residence stands out with a strong resonance and personality.

Escaleras, Dominical: One of Costa Rica's Most Sought After Addresses

Escaleras is perfect for privacy and ocean views in one of the most sought after areas in Dominical. This home embraces personal expression, texture, and individuality. Without restrictions holding them back in color, furnishing, and personality, every single corner of the house has its own character. The house inspires its residents to live an outdoor lifestyle and to feel out every room with their own personality.

The home features an open concept design where covered rooms flow into spaces that integrate natural elements, including a garden in this dream outdoor room, perfect for an afternoon nap. Each room in the house has direct access to the balcony or an open air space, which connects to the other living areas. Every single corner of the house fills with light in every sunset, changing the whole aspect and the feel of the pool and outdoor areas once the sun goes down.

Its elevated position captures the Pacific Ocean views and a complete view of the jungle above. The residence is oriented outward toward the view and sunset light, but maintains a sense of seclusion. The indoor pool opens up to the canopy, benefiting from the ocean breezes and sunset light.

Hillside Architecture Designed for the Costa Rica Tropical Climate

What really makes this architecture appealing is the interaction between the architecture and the topography. The building unfolds in different levels and adapts to the landscape by going out through its terraces and open spaces.

This climate responsive design uses light to create a comfortable interior, while also reducing the building's reliance on artificial energy. Usually, in areas like Dominical, designs are considered to withstand the local climate, which features intense heat, heavy rainfall, and high seasonal humidity.

Hardwood Floors, Reclaimed Materials, and Artisan Craftsmanship

The home has floors and deck areas made from Guapinol wood, while the 100+ year old Java wooden shutters give it its special touch. The design connects all aspects of the different spaces with one common rustic style. Dark hardwood floors and deck, visible wooden beams, aged timber, metal sheet, stonewalls of the swimming pool, and reclaimed wooden material all make up the house design line.

Indoor Outdoor Pool, Vaulted Ceilings, and Ocean Facing Living Spaces

The house design revolves around the main central pool area. The area becomes a gathering space for long nights and multiple uses. The vaulted roof structure frames the ocean view pool, creating a space that feels relaxing and cozy.

The large wall quilted with various shutters works as the decoration background of the living room. The patterned tiles on the floor, wooden doors, and furniture, the daybeds carved with patterns, pendant lights, vintage carpets, and space for your decorations. The unique combination of curated materials infuses the home with a palpable sense of warmth.

Unique Bedrooms and Open Air Bathrooms with Pacific Views

The home has multiple rooms and bathrooms, with a mix of fully enclosed spaces and those with a semi open design to ensure a constant connection with the surrounding natural environment.

A copper soaking tub positioned to capture the sunset is an example of how the home embodies the luxury sanctuary's concept. The entire home reflects the natural beauty of organic materials, blending intentional and spontaneous design decisions and consistently providing opportunities for intimate moments with nature.
