This property is located in a hillside community above Dominical, sitting on a 5,784 m² lot. This 551 m² residence has ocean and jungle views from every level, situated perfectly looking at the Pacific horizon.
The house has an open concept design, with high ceilings, glass doors, and three levels facing the ocean. The modern infrastructure allows for multiple uses and purposes. The simple, yet sophisticated, design Costa Rica luxury investment offers is what makes it stand apart, letting buyers take the nature around the home as a canvas: the sunset, the jungle, and the wide sky.
A multi level villa emerges from the jungle, Dominical's hillside setting at golden hour.
As our listing agent Matt Hogan likes to call it, Nordic simplicity, Balinese calm, and Costa Rica’s natural elements all in one.

How This Villa Redefined Hillside Architecture: 180° Ocean Views & Smart Design
The uniqueness of this villa lies in its architectural layout. Every single room of the house is oriented towards the Pacific Ocean views, making the panorama the main character. One of the most special features of the home is the upstairs terrace with a steel pergola that gives you a 180 degree view of the ocean and the jungle for taking in the famous Dominical sunset.
This multi level structure allows for maximizing every living room and taking advantage of all the building space. Every room feels special; every level has a clear purpose and its own relationship with the outside.
Sunset panoramas from the terrace and infinity pool, Dominical views at their most cinematic.
The exterior structure has large glass panels with an aluminum frame and large open window frames. The hanging balconies all have a particular point of view; all of them take in the sun at dusk.
At the golden hour, the house fills up with the sunset light and changes a pinkish amber shade, filling your evenings with magic.
Biophilic Design Concept
Biophilic design is about creating homes that are close and connected to nature.
In Costa Rica, architects often design with a focus on maximizing the views, sunlight, airflow, and natural features surrounding the layout, making the landscape part of the home itself.

The double height main living area and floating staircase.
The lounge, dining, kitchen, and staircase are integrated within the same high ceiling in a traditional open design plan. The kitchen is the central hub and is suited to hosting and entertaining just as much as it is suited to regular family life.
The kitchen features a split level indoor/outdoor plan able to cater to both poolside entertaining and dining for up to ten guests.
The imported tiles on the floors cover both interiors and exteriors to make the designs uniform inside and outside. A large sliding glass door separates the terrace from the inside, helping the subdivision on rainy days when you might want to skip going outside.
The infinity pool deck and interior living zone have a seamless indoor outdoor connection, at $1,680,000.
Infinity Edge, Palapa Bar & Rope Swings: The Outdoor Living That Stole Our Hearts
The facade of the house is deliberately designed and located, taking into account all the natural elements around it. The view, the infinity pool next to the jungle, and the rooftop for watching the sunset are all environment-responsive features.
The infinity edge pool comes with finishes made out of Java stone and sun ledges, is naturally heated, and is enjoyable all year round. Next to the pool, there is a palapa kitchen, rope swings, and bar for barbecue time.
Designed around the golden hour, the outdoor terrace invites the guests to embrace the outdoors.

Built to Last: Materials Matter in Tropical Costa Rica
Addressing Dominical's tropical environment, the selection of materials puts a priority on water resistance, longevity, and simplicity of upkeep without losing the materials' natural beauty, warmth, or quality.
Natural stone surfaces, oak wood floors, matte black metal frames, and handmade decorations are a few examples of designs that, in addition to being long lasting, give an organic and luxurious look.
