Luxury Private Compound Near Dominical And Secluded Beaches, Dominicalito, Dominical, Bahia Ballena, Osa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

About this property

Set in the hills of Escaleras, just minutes above Playa Dominical, this exceptional estate embodies the ideal balance of privacy, design, and lifestyle that defines Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific coast. Positioned on a rare parcel that opens toward the ocean, the property enjoys sweeping sunset views, constant wildlife activity, and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape. It feels peaceful and secluded, yet never remote. The main residence is a four-bedroom luxury home constructed by one of Costa Rica’s most respected national builders. Working closely with the architect, the owner shaped a design focused on integrating the natural environment into everyday living. The main living area is crowned by a dramatic vaulted ceiling rising approximately twenty-seven feet, enhancing natural light, airflow, and a powerful sense of openness. Clean architectural lines, generous ceiling heights, and wide openings guide the eye toward the Pacific Ocean or into the jungle canopy, where monkeys, toucans, and butterflies move freely. Indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly, and the quality of craftsmanship is evident in every finish and detail. Set on its own private section of the property, a separate three-bedroom guest home offers exceptional flexibility. Ideal as a rental, guest accommodation, or retreat space, it features a signature outdoor shower overlooking a forested creek—an immersive experience where guests bathe beneath the open sky, surrounded by jungle sounds and flowing water. Together, the two residences form a seven-bedroom compound perfectly suited for a luxury vacation rental, wellness or yoga retreat, or a private family estate designed for hosting and gathering. The land itself is a defining feature. A small waterfall brings a touch of natural magic, while tropical gardens, fruit trees, and curated plantings extend throughout the grounds. The entire estate is meticulously cared for by a full-time on-site caretaker who resides in a third home on the property. With genuine pride and dedication, he maintains the landscape, transforming the grounds into something akin to a private botanical park. Every path feels alive with color, texture, and growth. The Escaleras community further elevates the lifestyle. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, daily walkers, and a vibrant mix of local and international residents, the area attracts those who value nature, privacy, and meaningful connection. The community road doubles as a walking trail, creating opportunities to connect with neighbors while remaining immersed in the hills. Private beaches are only minutes away. Hidden coves, tide pools, and quiet stretches of sand lie between Dominical and Uvita, offering endless options for morning swims, sunset walks, or full beach days away from the crowds. This stretch of coastline is celebrated for its clean water, gentle waves, and the untouched feeling that defines the Costa Rica people dream of. Food lovers are equally at home here. Escaleras is known for its dynamic culinary scene, featuring gourmet hillside restaurants with panoramic ocean views, along with bakeries, organic cafés, and chef-driven dining that highlights local produce, fresh seafood, and tropical ingredients. Many consider this area one of the most exciting food destinations on the coast. Properties of this caliber—on land this rare, within a community this active and connected—seldom come to market. This estate stands out as one of the most compelling lifestyle and investment opportunities in Escaleras, offering a rare combination of natural beauty, architectural quality, and everyday comfort that is increasingly difficult to find anywhere in the region.
