Manuel Antonio’s most unique and frequently rented multi-million dollar estate home, “Casa Maravilla”, redefines the art of tropical living with this fully air-conditioned luxurious 6 bedrooms, 6 bathroom, waterfall infinity pool home and guesthouse, located on Manuel Antonio’s most private hill top estate and the only Estate home in Manuel Antonio that comes standard with a Gourmet Chef!
The stunning ocean views and spectacular nightly sunsets are sure to take your breath away. Or, maybe you would prefer to just lie down on the bubbling beach, or to swim and play under the waterfalls or sit on the unique pool barstools from the total privacy of this 1 acre tropical estate.
Located at the end of the road on a hilltop over the Pacific, and in a particularly private part of Manuel Antonio, Casa Maravilla offers seclusion at it’s best, while being ideally located halfway between the adjoining towns of Quepos and Manuel Antonio. The Manuel Antonio Nation Park and it’s multiple white sand beaches rimmed with pristine rainforest, are the treasured jewel of Costa Rica’s park system and are less than 5 miles away while Quepos, with it’s wide variety of shopping, restaurants, bars, Casino, markets, and sport-fishing fleet is less than 5 minutes in the other direction.
Casa Maravilla is loaded with lush gardens and tropical rainforests, which border an important and well-traveled biological corridor through the area, so guests at Casa Maravilla can expect to see an abundance of wildlife on a frequent basis. Three types of friendly monkeys visit the property regularly, as well as the fascinating and slow moving tree sloths (we have had up to 5 at a time), a large variety of birds, and a plethora of other sometimes hard to describe animals (see our photo album), so bring your camera and you’ll be sure to enjoy the best of the jungle and it’s amazing inhabitants from the terraces and gardens of this amazing luxury villa.
The home itself is most accurately described as a work of art and is considered among the finest of the custom homes in the Manuel Antonio area and is built entirely out of Almond Wood. Fine craftsmanship and loving attention to details are evident throughout the house, which makes it a pleasure to experience. The large swimming pool with its expansive decks was designed by an award winning Architect for outdoor relaxing and entertaining, and is perfect for hosting groups or parties. Casa Maravilla is also specially designed for the varying weather of the tropics; to be suitable and comfortable for enjoying every day, season, or mood. The 30-foot high hardwood ceilings provide excellent ventilation, and sliding glass doors all the way around, allow you to either open the home completely to the fresh pacific breezes by day and the sounds of the jungle at night, or to close it up and enjoy the experience in fully air conditioned comfort.
You will enjoy every unique room of this tastefully decorated home, each having a private bathroom, 4 having private terraces, and three have their own kitchenettes. Every room is different and some are truly unique, like the 20-foot almond-wood catwalk, suspended through the center of the home, which leads to an all hardwood master suite, of which the entire front wall is a plate glass window facing the Pacific.
So relax in the swimming pool, looking out over the infinity edge, while listening to rushing water from the natural stone water falls, as the sounds of the jungle consume you. Enjoy complete privacy, tucked away in the heart of Manuel Antonio, the most exclusive vacation spot in Costa Rica, with its endless activities, numerous restaurants, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
