Contemporary Hilltop Estate With 270° Panoramic Views Near La Fortuna

Set high in the hills of Ciudad Quesada, San Carlos, this striking 472m2 four-level contemporary residence combines dramatic architecture, expansive interiors and approximately 270-degree panoramic views across the mountains and surrounding countryside, including views toward Arenal Volcano.

Built on approximately 2,700 m² of land, the home has been designed to take full advantage of its elevated position. Large expanses of glass, substantial terraces and open living spaces draw the surrounding scenery into the house, while the elevation provides a cooler climate and impressive views from multiple levels.

The residence offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms, together with a dedicated office or study that could potentially be configured as an additional bedroom. A private elevator serves all four levels, an uncommon feature in this market and one that adds considerable practicality to a home of this scale.

One of the property’s defining features is its indoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi, creating a private leisure area that can be enjoyed throughout the year while taking advantage of the surrounding views. Large terraces provide additional spaces for relaxing and entertaining, while a separate rancho and barbecue area extends the home’s entertainment facilities outdoors.

The interiors are contemporary and filled with natural light. The modern kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, while a home theater with a projection system and surround sound provides a dedicated entertainment experience.

A three-car garage, security system and additional exterior storage bodega complete the property’s practical amenities. The residence is offered as a fully furnished, turnkey offering, with an extensive collection of luxury furnishings, high-end appliances, electronics and equipment included in the sale. The interiors have been thoughtfully appointed to complement the contemporary architecture, allowing a new owner to enjoy the property immediately upon arrival.

While the home has only seldom functioned as an income-generating asset, its scale, amenities and proximity to La Fortuna and the Arenal Volcano region provide an interesting foundation for a buyer wishing to explore its potential as a luxury vacation rental. The property is currently occupied as a private residence and has not been operated as a full-time rental property, so there is no established rental history on which to base future income projections.

Ciudad Quesada is the principal commercial center of San Carlos, providing convenient access to restaurants, cafés, shopping, medical facilities and everyday services. La Fortuna and the Arenal Volcano area are approximately 30 minutes away, placing the property within easy reach of one of Costa Rica’s best-known destinations while retaining the infrastructure and conveniences of a larger town.

Offered at $695,000, this is an unusual opportunity to acquire a fully furnished contemporary residence with a combination of features rarely found together in the region: four levels connected by elevator, an indoor swimming pool and Jacuzzi, extensive terraces, a three-car garage, home theater and broad mountain and volcano views.
