Casa Ladera Costa Rica Luxury Estate

High above the emerald hills of Escalares in Costa Rica’s pristine Southern Pacific Zone, Casa Ladera commands the horizon from its privileged perch at an elevation of 800 feet, which captures soft ocean breezes. This masterfully designed 6-bedroom estate spans over 6,760 sq ft of elegant indoor living space, wrapped in exotic hardwoods, natural stone, precision tiling, and dramatic architectural flair. With three additional building lots, it’s more than a home—an estate vision poised for a continued private jungle habitat or a private family compound. This six-bedroom sanctuary is surrounded by lush rainforest, and awe-inspiring 180-degree ocean vistas span 70 miles of Southern Pacific coastline, from the Osa Peninsula, the iconic Whale’s Tail, and the mystical Cano Island. Enjoy ocean views from every room, the vast infinity pool, and the large jacuzzi. Watch whales from every room and the 115 species of birds inhabiting the property.

As you arrive, a private guardhouse and staff quarters at the electric gate ensure seamless hospitality and privacy. Up the long sweeping driveway through mature gardens, you step inside the heart of the home, where an expansive open concept living and dining area welcomes you with soaring beamed ceilings and rich timber finishes. The newly renovated chef’s kitchen serves as a centerpiece, featuring a wraparound breakfast bar, top-tier appliances, and a spacious pantry. It opens directly to a sweeping balcony with disappearing sliding doors that erase boundaries between indoor and outdoor.

Two oversized, mirror-image master suites anchor the main floor. Each has solid hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and spa-style en-suites offering walk-in showers, dual vanities, and deep soaking tubs with panoramic rainforest and ocean views. Private balconies create personal retreats within this fantastic sanctuary.

Downstairs, a relaxed yet refined ambiance emerges with a secondary open living area featuring a second kitchen, perfect for social gatherings that transition effortlessly to the estate’s showpiece: the beach-entrance infinity pool, surrounded by lush greenery and framed by epic views of the Pacific. Three additional guest bedrooms on this level offer direct access to the pool deck, a private bath with shower, outdoor showers, and the daily rhythms of the jungle.

Mature planned gardens offer an inspiring jungle mixed with fruit-bearing mangoes, avocados, pineapples, bananas, lemons, and lychee for meals where fruit freshness can not be beaten.

Beyond the principal residence, Casa Ladera unfolds into an adventure: a lush jungle teeming with wildlife, three developable sites for future villas or guest lodges, a seasonal creek, walking trails throughout the curated tropical gardens and native flora, mature fruit trees, a thatched-roof gazebo for birdwatching, and daily visits from monkeys, toucans, and scarlet macaws. Nature and architecture intertwine with elegance and ease. In addition, a solid, concrete floor, barn with bath and shower facilities offers a workshop space, additional parking, and maybe even a private pickleball court!

While security has never been an issue at the estate, 11 outdoor security cameras with recorded and live feeds to the house and the caretaker’s quarters ensure privacy and security.

Located in the coveted Escalares mountain range, just minutes from the thriving towns of Dominical and Uvita, this region delivers authenticity and charm. World-class surfing beaches, cascading waterfalls, organic markets, five-star restaurants, snorkeling, 24-7 healthcare facilities, and a vibrant international community are only minutes away. Whether seeking serene seclusion or vibrant adventure, this region delivers authenticity and charm.

Casa Ladera is more than an estate, it is a legacy of luxury, land, and life in harmony with nature. …Read Less
