Luxury Home with Elegant and Natural Design in Escaleras
This is a unique custom-built luxury home situated in a highly sought-after area of Costa Rica. The 5 bedroom and 5 bath home offers 5,650 sqft of living space, balancing form and function effectively.
It is situated at the top of Matina Vista I above Dominicalito Beach in the Escaleras area. This area has a lot of wildlife, including monkeys, sloths, toucans, parrots, deer, agoutis, pasotes, ant eaters, and possibly jungle cats like ocelots, pumas, and jaguars.
Just 6-7 minutes from the beach at Dominicalito, a cove shaped bay offers stretches of sand for walking and rock formed tidal pools to explore at lower tides. The palm tree lined beach is ideal for morning or sunset strolls and a good spot for beginner surfers. Dominical is 10 minutes from the home and has 2 supermarkets, several restaurants and cafes, a pharmacy, spas, a yoga studio, and a Friday farmer’s market. Plus Dominical offers excellent surfing and a long sandy beach with some pebbles.
The home features solid concrete and block construction. The husband-and-wife team considered every detail, and her interior decorating skills made a comfortable home that is pleasant to live in or visit. The current seller is the second owner and has kept the home in excellent condition during their time here. This home has not been a rental property, so there is no significant wear and tear from renters.
The home draws inspiration from the sky, ocean horizon, and natural environment, using stones, woods, and earth tones in the design and decor. Designed to be modern, interesting, and refined without feeling distant or excessively lavish. The goal was to integrate nature, and this home reflects the indoor/outdoor living of Costa Rica.
Entering the home from the large covered portico that fits 4 cars, you are greeted by the impressive view of the infinity pool, sea, and sky, framed by green mountains and well-kept landscaping. This kitchen, dining, and living room area features 24-foot high vaulted cedar wood ceilings with bamboo beams extending toward the ocean side of the home.
The main feature of the open floorplan is the large dining room table made from a single slab of hardwood, centered in the room and extending towards the view and outdoor spaces. Upholstered chairs complement the 10-person dining table, ideal for family and friend gatherings.
The kitchen includes stainless-steel appliances and granite counter tops. Custom cedar wood cabinets with bamboo designs were created for Casa Bambú. The sofas come from the US and are arranged around the Ron-Ron hardwood root coffee table. A large cross section of a cedar tree is mounted on the oceanside wall, forming a distinctive piece of natural art.
Two large staircases lead to the upstairs suites, featuring metal railings with a bamboo design and wood handrails. Wood inlays for the border of each step enhance the blend of natural materials and the intricate details of Casa Bambú.
Three glass doors lead to the outdoor living areas, with the center door folding completely open over a span of 14 feet (4.25 meters). The covered terraces feature a teak dining table for 10 and 2 wood sofas along with 1 love seat with cushions. A small high-top table with chairs and an extra pair of oversized chairs with cushions. Made of solid wood and custom designed for these spaces.
The infinity pool is tiled with 4×4 inch (10×10 cm) pieces of marble. The pool deck features local coralina tiles that are textured for anti-slip and remain cool in the sun. The concrete columns are encased with corolina tiles for a better look. Below the pool is a hot tub with stone tile and seating for 10 people. An outdoor shower made of teak and stone offers privacy and is suitable for rinsing off after a day at the beach.
The rancho outdoor BBQ and bar area is equipped for entertaining. BBQ grill and cooktop with stainless steel fridge, sink, and Guapinol hardwood slab bar top along with solid wood bar stools. The Palmex roof material is a durable synthetic palm thatch that provides a tropical appearance without the need for frequent replacement of natural thatch.
The house has 4 main suites that are the same size, but each has its own theme and color scheme. Each bedroom features a king size bed, air conditioning, walk-in closets, and ventilation that can be adjusted for natural airflow or closed when using the A/C. All bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms with a shower and soaking tub. Everyone will feel satisfied with their bedroom, and all family and guests will have their own private space. The bonus 5th room can serve as an office, a kids' bedroom with bunk beds, a game room, a gym, or a media room.
At the top of the staircase is the 4th principal suite. This room’s balcony offers views up the coast to Manuel Antonio and the nearby rainforest-covered mountains. This bedroom and bathroom draw inspiration from the jungle with a “Emerald Green” granite countertop, walk-in rain shower, and bathtub. Cedar wood furniture, tribal carvings on the wall, and solid wood sea shells enhance this bedroom.
The 5th bedroom is set up for overflow with two futon sofas. This room has A/C and is located at the front of the home down a hallway with a full bath that serves as a guest bathroom during gatherings. This bonus room can be used as an office, media room, game room, gym, or extra bedroom with bunk beds for kids.
This house is an iconic home on the Costa Ballena with a location near beaches, waterfalls, and towns, while feeling secluded and surrounded by reserve. Full time or part time residence or a luxury rental with 5 bedrooms for larger groups, central location to attractions, and easy access.
