In the jungle of Costa Rica – specifically, the “last frontier” of Guanacaste – this recently-listed home is located within the private residential community of Costa Elena, a secluded master-planned residential community and ocean club secreted away within a breathtaking corner of the northern Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. Spread across 3,000 untouched acres and 10 miles of pristine coastline, the sustainable destination is primed for adventurers who appreciate raw beauty, local experiences, responsible tourism and modern tropical design. The villa offers raw “pura vida” and takes its modern biophilic architecture cues from the lush landscape surrounding it. The result is a stunning modern beach house up in the treetops, an ideal home away from home for the true adventurer.
Featuring panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean entry into Salinas Bay, Orosi Volcano, and Bolaños Island and Nicaragua, this estate in the treetops was brought to life by EDSA and Hart Howerton for land planning, Eva Hinds of Eva Hinds Architecture and The Design Agency for interiors.
With an infinity-edge pool, private balcony or terrace off every bedroom, and dining complete for eight, this home provides the ultimate relaxation for a multi-generational experience. Just a five-minute drive to Playa El Jobo beach and Costa Elena Beach Club, the home offers its owners access to a unique Ocean Club experience with an array of exclusive amenities in the works including convenience shops, restaurants, a café, fitness and wellness facilities, hiking and biking trails, three beach clubs and a nature preserve.
The first private beach club opened in December 2022 on sugar-white sand canopied by lush jungle greenery with a sleek infinity pool, several intimate lounge spaces, thatched roof palapas and beach restaurant.
Just over an hour from the Guanacaste Airport, and bordered by a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Costa Elena sales have been quietly fueled by foreign buyers seeking an accessible yet off-the-grid natural playground. Blufftop-to-beach adventures include world-renowned kite surfing, mountain biking, fishing, birding, snorkeling, hiking and more, all surrounded by the wild beauty and incredible ecological diversity Costa Rica is known for.
