About Luxury Costa Rican Lifestyle
This meticulous home is minimalist modern, and was designed around the outdoor spaces with attention to feng shui. Floors are Costa Rican oiled teak and colored concrete. Enter through the custom handmade Balinese mandala doors to a spacious living and dining room that looks out onto the pool and garden through floor to ceiling glass sliding doors. Stairs to the right lead to a massive home office and bathroom suite on the second level, with sweeping views of the back garden and the ocean beyond. With a full wall of shelves, this is the perfect place for working from home! This space can easily be converted into 2 bedrooms with a jack and jill bathroom.
Downstairs, adjacent to the main living room, gourmets will appreciate the kitchen cooktop, steamer, and warmers all Gaggenau, imported from Germany. A custom venting system imported from Brazil is made by Turboair and provides a unique aesthetic. This state-of-the-art kitchen features granite countertops, a SubZero refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and a custom-built walk-in cellar/pantry kept at a constant temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, perfect for food and wine storage.
The kitchen opens onto the back garden and directly onto the pool veranda. This inviting and open area, still under the roof, provides endless opportunities for entertaining. Indeed, movie lovers will be delighted by the home cinema and surround sound by Sunfire, Niles, Marantz. The screen drops dramatically on the other side of the pool for true theatre viewing. The pool has the distinction of being the first Ozone, USA pool system in Costa Rica. It’s like swimming in bottled water, no salt, no chlorine.

The garden is overflowing with native flora including multiple fruit trees and flowers all year long. This vibrant surrounding is in purposeful contrast to the modern minimalist style of the house, and enhances the senses at every turn.
