Malpaís Unfiltered: A Private Ocean View Sanctuary

Created for buyers seeking privacy without compromise, this exceptional contemporary estate rises above the lush hills of Malpaís with commanding views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding rainforest. Completed in 2024 and offered at USD $3,800,000, the residence occupies its own private gated estate—offering the exclusivity of a secure entrance without belonging to a larger gated community. Positioned on a generous 1,775 m² hillside parcel just three minutes from Malpaís Beach, the property enjoys immediate access to the celebrated beaches of Santa Teresa, Playa Carmen, Playa Hermosa, and Playa Cuevas. This privileged location combines world-class surfing, fine dining, boutique hotels, yoga retreats, beach clubs, sport fishing, and protected natural landscapes, while maintaining the serenity and privacy expected of a luxury coastal sanctuary. Convenient access from Cobano Domestic Airport and the Paquera Ferry further enhances its appeal as both a private residence and an international getaway.

Designed to celebrate Costa Rica’s signature indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the villa offers four beautifully appointed bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom, complemented by an elegant guest powder room. Light-filled living and dining spaces flow effortlessly into a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, creating an inviting setting for entertaining while framing uninterrupted views of the ocean and tropical forest. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glass doors dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior living, opening onto a resort-inspired terrace featuring a private swimming pool, covered lounge areas, an outdoor dining pavilion, BBQ station, and professionally landscaped tropical gardens. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to deliver refined comfort, architectural elegance, and seamless year-round living in one of Costa Rica’s most desirable coastal settings.

Malpaís and neighboring Santa Teresa have become internationally recognized among luxury buyers for their rare combination of natural beauty, exclusivity, and exceptional investment performance. Elevated to capture cooling ocean breezes and spectacular sunsets, this residence offers an unmatched lifestyle within minutes of upscale restaurants, artisan cafés, wellness studios, boutique shopping, and the Nicoya Peninsula’s most iconic beaches. Beyond its appeal as an extraordinary private home or vacation retreat, the property also represents a compelling investment opportunity. Its premium design, complete privacy, and coveted location position it exceptionally well within Costa Rica’s thriving luxury vacation rental market, offering strong income potential alongside long-term capital appreciation in one of Central America’s most prestigious beach destinations.
