Costa Rica House

Villa Bahá is 4,000 square feet of contemporary Mexican Country-style living space thoughtfully integrated into the pristine rainforest and jungle of Costa Rica. Dramatic white water views of the Pacific Ocean and serene valley vistas are everywhere. Exuberant tropical gardens enhance the views. Each day, Villa Bahá enjoys a beautiful sunrise and even more stunning sunset.

Immediately upon entering the palm-tree lined driveway of this private, 11-acre property, situated 1,000 feet above sea level, you know that you have arrived at a unique destination. The scent of ylang ylang and the sounds of nature welcome you to your home away from home. Bougainvillea, helaconia, and ginger provide tropical color and graceful palms and bamboo sway in the breezes.

Built in 2000 and recently updated inside and out, the main house is entered though a gated, courtyard which features a dramatic Mexican-wall fountain and a colorful butterfly and hummingbird garden. A covered entrance veranda creates a shady spot from which to relax and enjoy this charming, private retreat.

The interior of Villa Bahá is dominated by a dramatic, curved staircase which leads to the upper floors. The principal first floor rooms flow in an open, contemporary manner and are decorated with an eclectic mix of classic, Mexican and antique furnishings enhanced with dramatic lighting. The garden-view living room has comfortable seating for six and is suitable for reading, family games or surfing the internet (if you bring your wireless laptop). An entertainment armoire contains a TV with satellite Sky TV and DVD/CD/MP3 player. Beyond the living room, the kitchen and dining room share the captivating view of the Pacific Ocean. The large, well-considered kitchen is playfully decorated with colorful, hand-painted Mexican talavera tiles on the countertops and cooking island. The kitchen is equipped with all that you might require to prepare and serve anything from salsa and chips to a full holiday meal. The dining room features a soaring, 20-foot beamed ceiling and is linked to the outdoors by French doors.

The outdoor spaces are the true focal points of daily life at Villa Bahá. From the rear veranda, near the kidney-shaped swimming pool, you can enjoy the expansive Pacific Ocean view from comfortable pool chaises and lounge chairs. Colorful hammocks are provided for afternoon reading or siestas under a vine-covered pergola. While it is possible to spend the entire day watching the peaceful and inspiring parade of wildlife from this veranda, around the corner, just beyond the kitchen garden, is an equally delightful outdoor space. On the kitchen veranda and adjacent stone patio, guests can dine while listening to the hypnotic sounds of the nearby cascading, hand-carved Mexican fountain and its tropical garden backdrop.

The very private and serene master suite furnished with a king size bed is on the first floor and enjoys both ocean and garden views. A screened door allows nighttime breezes in and also gives private access to the rear veranda and pool area, perfect for late night swims under star-filled skies. The amazing, Spanish-style master bathroom features his and hers talavera sinks and an inviting sunken soaking tub and shower with floor-to-ceiling windows and garden views.

The entire second floor can serve as an additional master suite for a second couple. The bedroom contains a queen size bed, writing desk, and built-in closets. French doors lead to a private veranda and terrace with views of the surrounding mountain ridges and valleys. Within the sounds of both of Villa Bahá’s Mexican fountains, rocking chairs and potted plants make this area a charming, romantic spot for quiet morning coffee or evening drinks. The full bathroom features more Mexican tile and a rainforest mural painted by a local artist. The second floor media room has comfortable lounge seating for viewing TV and movies (with Satellite SkyTV and DVD/VCR). For larger groups, this room can be arranged as a third bedroom with either two twin beds, or, with a quick furniture shift, a queen size, bed height Aerobed if that is preferred. Sliding doors provide access to another rooftop terrace with oceans views, ideal for private sunning. Stairs from this terrace lead to the upper roof terrace, for a 360 degree, bird's-eye view of this glorious property and its surroundings.

Villa Baha’s gardens have been designed to attract and support a large variety of wildlife. Colorful toucans are among the daily avian visitors to our hillside terrace garden and the nearby fruit orchard. The grounds also contain Villa Bahá’s casita, home of our English/Spanish-speaking property manager who will welcome you and assist you during your stay. Villa Bahá is located in the safe and friendly, residential area of Lagunas de Barú, just outside of Dominical. Houses dot the finger ridges of Lagunas, giving a sense of community while still maintaining total privacy.

Villa Bahá and its tranquil interrelationship with the ocean and rainforest can be the focal point of your visit with short trips to Dominical and surrounding towns for supplies, or it can serve as your base of operations for an active, adventure-filled exploration of the South Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The choice is yours. Please visit our website for more information about Villa Bahá and begin planning your adventure in Costa Rica today.
