Seven-Acre Ocean-View Estate with a Five-Bedroom Home, Caretaker House and Rainforest in Portalón

A five-bedroom concrete home of about 464 m², built in 2009, on almost seven acres (2.8 hectares) in the hills of Portalón, bordered by forest on three sides, with wide views of the South Pacific coast. A separate three-bedroom house near the entrance is home to the caretakers who look after the property.

The home. Poured concrete with heavy rebar, Saltillo tile and hardwood; air-conditioned bedrooms; two living rooms and a third-floor games room; a large infinity pool with a heated spa and swim-up bar; a covered rancho with an outdoor kitchen; and a whole-house generator. Water runs through a storage tank with filtration and UV treatment.

The land. A walking trail around the property, a flat area used as a soccer field, room for two more building sites, and daily wildlife including toucans, monkeys and nesting scarlet macaws.

Location. Just off the Costanera highway: Playa Linda and Playa Matapalo within about 20 minutes, Dominical about 25 minutes and Manuel Antonio about 35 minutes. The agency reports a vacation-rental history.

Worth checking. Off Grid Destinations has not inspected this property or its documents. Before buying, have your own Costa Rican lawyer check the title and liens in the National Registry, the cadastral plan, the water source and its permits, permits for both houses, and the terms for the caretakers who live on site.
