Exceptional Ocean & Jungle-View Estate in a Prestigious Gated Community

8 King Suites | 9 Full Baths + 2 Half Baths | Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

Executive Summary

Meticulously rebuilt from its original reinforced concrete and steel superstructure, this exceptional eight-suite estate blends modern comfort with the breathtaking beauty of Costa Rica's rainforest and Pacific coastline. Starting with the home's solid structure, almost everything else was rebuilt—from the major systems to the handcrafted teak cabinetry, custom doors, natural materials, and furnishings—creating what is, for all practical purposes, an entirely new home built to uncompromising U.S. luxury standards.

Designed for large families, executive retreats, and multi-generational gatherings, the residence comfortably accommodates large groups while still giving everyone their own sense of privacy—a rare combination in Manuel Antonio. Professionally managed and now in its second year as a successful vacation rental, it has already earned exceptional guest reviews, strong occupancy, and growing repeat clientele.

The Residence

The layout is one of the home's greatest strengths. The main residence brings together the gourmet kitchen, dining room, living area, and saltwater pool, while three second-floor suites—two with Pacific Ocean views—overlook the surrounding rainforest.

Additional guest suites are thoughtfully positioned around the waterfall and gardens, creating the feel of a boutique resort while keeping everyone connected. The spacious family suite is ideal for parents traveling with children or grandparents sharing a vacation with the next generation, while the oversized ground-floor suite provides comfortable single-level living.

Throughout the residence, handcrafted teak, rare Jacaranda Quartzite, natural Coralina stone, and carefully selected furnishings reflect a commitment to quality that is immediately apparent. Every design decision was made with the same goal: create a home that is beautiful, comfortable, and built to be enjoyed for generations.

Lifestyle & Location

Life here is as much about the surroundings as it is about the residence itself. Mornings begin beside the pool as the rainforest comes alive, while evenings often end with unforgettable sunset colors over the Pacific.

Only seven minutes from Manuel Antonio National Park and four minutes from Marina Pez Vela, the estate offers convenient access to world-class sport fishing, waterfront dining, shopping, and one of Costa Rica's most celebrated destinations—all while enjoying the privacy of one of the area's premier gated communities.

A Proven Investment

Homes offering this combination of size, craftsmanship, privacy, and guest capacity are among the rarest in Manuel Antonio.

Professionally managed and offered fully furnished, the residence is ready to continue operating as a successful vacation rental from day one while also serving as an extraordinary private family retreat. An equally rare opportunity exists to purchase the adjacent nine-bedroom sister estate, creating one of Manuel Antonio's largest privately owned luxury compounds with additional land for future expansion.

Private showings and immersive video tours are available by appointment.
