Located on 17 acres at 1200 feet above the South Pacific Ocean, this magnificent exclusive estate borders on 1000 acres of private wildlife reserve and is home to two species of monkeys, the sloth-monkey and white-face monkey. This ridge top ocean-view estate boasts breathtaking views of the 20-mile coastline from Guapil to Manuel Antonio and takes advantage of the natural Costa Rican beauty that surrounds it.
Named Estancia de los Mayos, this four bedroom, four and a half bath estates has attracted the attention of several major Hollywood and Music artists. The 7,000 square foot estate is the most luxurious and stately award winning property in Baru, which is located just north of playa Dominical. This home offers spacious accommodations, unparalleled privacy, seclusion, and security.
In the evening, while you are sitting and relaxing with a glass of wine watching the sunset over the horizon filling the sky with an aurora of ever-changing colors, the 1000 acre reserve will provide a melodious harmony of bird sounds and the ocean will provide a mellow atmosphere of calm and relaxation. A short hike from the infinity pool will put you face to face with a thirty foot private and secluded waterfall; thereafter, reward yourself with the sauna and steam room, located on the main property.
The main level of the estate boasts an entry underneath a 2-story portico into a 2-story entry hall with a sculpted ceiling and chandelier. The entry way faces an artistically designed cantilevered curved stairwell. Beyond the stairwell the guests can observe the view of the manicured pool area and beach through the 30 foot floor-to-ceiling windows in the large 2-story living room located on the lower level of this front-to-back split-level home.
The ceiling, suspended 6.7 meters above the living room floor, includes an arrangement of lights that emphasize the sculpted ceiling design and grand scale of the room.
On the same level as the entry hall is the main dining room, which also overlooks the living room and the natural outside views beyond.
The split-levels maximize the ocean views from deep within the home so that from the dining room the owners and guests may still enjoy the year-round ocean sunsets.
The dining room too has a sculpted ceiling that incorporates a beautiful chandelier plus indirect accent lighting which helps to set a scene of warmth and charm.
This dream estate takes advantage of the most up to date high-end conveniences and automation technologies designed for quiet living and entertaining in elegant surroundings. The infinity pool boasts a natural rock waterfall as well as amenities which include outdoor speakers and state of the art landscape lighting. Your luxury estate includes luxury service also.
Unlike other properties, this property is staffed with a live-in caretaker couple residing in a detached apartment above the two car garage. More like family than caretakers, the husband, who is English speaking, and the wife are more than happy to provide airport pickup as well as help with any other request; such as, tour arrangements, car rental, or a range of other optional services. The guests are free to make arrangements with the caretakers in regards to cooking, as cleaning and laundry are included. The care takers are available 24 hours a day to make your stay that much more comfortable.
More than just an estate getaway, the activities listed just below can be included in a customized rental package or incorporated separately as the owner of the estate owns the Humpback Whale and Dolphin tour company, Bahia Aventuras. Please see link at the bottom of this page for further details. The guests may customize their estate experience to fit their desire. Because after all there is no other place in Central America where you see Humpback whales give birth to their young...and no other tour company on location can provide such an experience!
