Description
Nestled within the secure confines of the exclusive Portasol gated community, this remarkable residence stands as a testament to luxury and tranquility. Just a short 10-minute drive to Playa Matapalo, 20 minutes to the vibrant town of Dominical, and 30 minutes to the renowned locales of Quepos/Manuel Antonio and Marina Pez Vela, this home is a hidden gem in the heart of the rainforest.
Situated on a sprawling 10-acre property adorned with untouched tropical rainforest, this residence offers an unrivaled connection with nature. Positioned to capture breathtaking sunset views, the property is a sanctuary at the far end of the development, ensuring an exclusive retreat surrounded only by the sights and sounds of the rainforest, with no neighboring homes in sight.
Encompassing both the main residence and a guesthouse/art studio, the living space spans over 5000 sq.ft. The main house, a four-level architectural masterpiece, boasts a unique design that seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings. An elevator provides access from the main floor to the rooftop balcony, an ideal entertainment area offering a panoramic 360° view of the Pacific Ocean and the lush rainforest of Costa Rica.
The first level opens up to an expansive terrace and pool area with a full bathroom, dressing rooms, dining area, BBQ space, and access to surrounding terraces. The second level features a kitchen with granite countertops and custom red cedar cabinets, a covered living and dining room, two bedrooms, and a terrace with scenic views. The third level hosts two main bedrooms separated by a living room and a balcony, each with its own dressing room, bathroom, and private balconies. The fourth level crowns the residence with a rooftop terrace offering unparalleled views.
Crafted by renowned architect Franz Beer, the house showcases elegant furniture made from red cedar, including doors and beds. The meticulous design, featured in a 16-page article in the architectural magazine "Styles and Houses," harmoniously blends geometric precision with organic elements, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
There is a separate guesthouse/art studio above the garage, featuring a kitchen, study room, and bathroom. As you enter the property, a house for the security guard ensures both privacy and peace of mind.
