Casa Oropéndula - Modern Jungle Home for Sale Near Dominical, Costa Rica | 3BR, 2.5BA, 3.44 Acres with Creek

Casa Oropéndula is a brand-new jungle home set in the hills above Dominical, one of Costa Rica's most sought-after surf towns on the Southern Pacific coast. You're 5 minutes from the beach, 5 minutes from Nauyaca Waterfalls, 4 minutes from Reptilandia, 10 minutes from Platanillo, 15 minutes from Tinamastes, and 45 minutes from the regional airport. Dominical has restaurants, beach bars, and a solid wave break, plus an organic farmers market every Friday. Tinamastes runs another one every Tuesday. Fresh local food twice a week, both an easy drive.

Built in 2025 with full concrete construction, the house sits on 3.44 private acres bordered by a year-round creek with small waterfalls. It's a single-story, 3-bedroom home with 2.5 bathrooms and a separate office large enough to use as a fourth bedroom. The ceilings are high, the windows are big, and sliding glass doors open onto the jungle on multiple sides. The house stays naturally cool and has AC in every bedroom, the living room, and the office. Starlink internet, well water, two covered parking spaces, and wide doorways throughout make it just as practical as it is beautiful.

The kitchen is the kind of space that makes people stop scrolling. Floor-to-ceiling teal shaker cabinets, a hand-laid white herringbone tile backsplash, white quartz counters, and a large island that seats four. The appliances are a full Frigidaire Professional package double oven, gas cooktop, stainless hood, and a French-door refrigerator. Open wood floating shelves finish the look. The imported glass pendant lights hanging over the dining area are the kind of detail you notice immediately and can't find locally.

The master suite has a massive custom walk-in closet with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and room to actually organize your life. The master bathroom has a freestanding soaker tub set against floor-to-ceiling glass looking straight into a private garden, a walk-in shower, double wood vanity, woven pendant lighting, and beautiful stacked tile on every wall. The second bathroom is just as well designed hexagon mosaic feature tile, a double wood vanity with vessel sinks, and black fixtures. There's also a stone-tiled outdoor shower with brass rainfall fixtures built into its own garden, which tells you everything about the level of thought that went into this house.

Outside, the main covered terrace runs the length of the back of the house with a live-edge wood dining table, ceiling fans, designer pendant lights, and an open mountain view over the lawn. There are several sitting areas placed around the property  under the terrace, along the jungle line, and beside the stone paths  so you always have somewhere to land with a coffee or a drink at any time of day. A short walk down a stone path leads to a separate wellness building with a fully equipped gym set up for CrossFit, yoga, or use as a creative studio.

This is a home for people who genuinely love nature. The property is alive with wildlife such as: oropéndolas, toucans, scarlet macaws, monkeys, coatis, agoutis, sloths, peccaries, and wild turkeys pass through regularly. The land is full of fruit trees and palms: mango, banana, plantain, limón, passion fruit, granadilla, star fruit, manzana de agua, pineapple, and jaboticaba. The creek runs year-round. The jungle surrounds you on every side. This is not a theme park version of Costa Rica it's the real thing, with all the comforts you'd want.

The remaining land offers real options too. There's room to build a guest house, plant more, or add a pool. The backyard already has a flat, level area ready for one. The property has public road access and its own private driveway, and is zoned both residential and commercial.

For buyers considering rental income, this house has never been rented. It's a clean slate with serious potential. Five minutes from a popular surf beach, surrounded by waterfalls and wildlife, with brand-new finishes that photograph beautifully and infrastructure already in place. The opportunity is there for whoever wants to activate it.

Casa Oropéndula is a rare find in this part of Costa Rica. The design, the land, the location, and the privacy don't usually come together like this. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, a vacation property, or something that earns while you're away, it works for all three.
