Suspended above the jungle canopy within the premier community of Costa Verde Estates, ¡Que Brava! is a modern architectural jewel on Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast. Conceived by renowned architect Martin Wells, the residence reflects his signature balance of bold geometry and deep connection to nature. Crafted of steel, concrete, and glass, it commands sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Marino Ballena’s Whale Tail, and endless rainforest ridgelines—framed at dusk by year-round sunsets. A dramatic steel pivot door, echoing the custom entry gate, sets the tone upon arrival, revealing the striking simplicity of the main level. Eleven-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors surround an open-plan Dekton-clad kitchen, dining, and living area that extends beyond to the saltwater infinity-edged pool, its seamless Balinese Sukabumi tile encased in lava stone, flowing like sculpture into the horizon. The culinary experience is further enhanced by the sleek stainless steel Viking outdoor kitchen and dining area. An adjacent outdoor spa retreat with a rain shower and cantilevered Balinese stone tub extends the home’s experience into the open air—an intimate sanctuary where privacy is absolute and the jungle is your only witness. Stone paths wind throughout the property, revealing curated tropical fruit and floral gardens, dissolving boundaries between architecture and landscape. Ascending the concrete staircase to the second level reveals four serene bedrooms that rise high above the canopy, each with extraordinary views. The primary suite features a lava stone-encased double rain shower with sweeping 180-degree vistas, a private patio, and a generous walk-in closet. A junior primary with ensuite bath opens to the spacious travertine-covered terrace overlooking the undulating Whale Tail. Two additional guest rooms with shared bath complete the package, offering refined comfort and privacy. Sustainability complements design. The estate is equipped with solar panels paired with a brand-new Sol-Ark 15kW inverter and battery backup for essential systems, solar-heated domestic hot water, and a five-stage whole-house water filtration system with UV purification, softening, and reserve tanks. Fiber-optic internet ensures seamless connectivity, while a secure 24-hour gated entry with staffed guardhouse and full-time property management by Mabinsa provide complete peace of mind. A self-sustaining composting system enriches the tropical gardens, while a permeable paver driveway, covered carport, and bodega add understated practicality. Just minutes from Dominical and Uvita, the estate offers seclusion without isolation. Set within Costa Verde Estates, residents also enjoy access to a helipad for both convenient private transfers and emergency medical use, Vista Pacifica Park with panoramic gathering spaces, and a fitness and tennis center cooled by mountain breezes. This is more than a home—it is a magnificent architectural masterpiece, cantilevered over one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, leaving no desire unmet. (CB-MM)

Tucked into the coveted, gated community of Costa Verde, this one-of-a-kind architectural estate is perched along a lush coastal ridgeline where the rainforest meets the Pacific. From the moment you step inside, the world opens up. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, revealing uninterrupted, cinematic views of the ocean, jungle canopy, and the iconic Whale’s Tail of Costa Ballena—an ever-changing masterpiece of light, color, and movement. Spanning approximately 7,950 square feet, the main residence is thoughtfully designed to elevate daily living into an experience. Five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms are arranged to maximize privacy, flow, and connection to the landscape. Every space feels intentional, calm, and grounded—yet undeniably luxurious. Mornings at Casa Luz are a ritual. From the primary suite, the day begins as the sun rises over the Pacific, illuminating the horizon while the rainforest below comes alive. Whether you are standing beneath the glass-wrapped shower, soaking in the freestanding tub, or enjoying the private loft of the suite, the view is always present—quietly powerful, endlessly inspiring. The heart of the home is its open-concept living and dining area, where architecture and nature work in perfect harmony. A chef-level kitchen with high-end appliances and refined finishes anchors the space, ideal for intimate dinners or larger gatherings. From here, the home flows seamlessly onto a grand covered terrace, where a curved infinity pool wraps around the structure as if floating above the jungle. It is a setting designed for long afternoons, sunset conversations, and evenings under the stars. Guest accommodations are equally considered. Just a short walk from the main residence, detached ocean-view guest suites offer a serene, private retreat for visitors. For those seeking even greater independence, a separate guest house is nestled within a lush garden setting. Complete with a full kitchen, private plunge pool, washer and dryer, this residence is ideal for extended stays, visiting family, or multi-generational living—offering both autonomy and closeness. Casa Luz is as intelligent as it is beautiful. Positioned at an ideal elevation, the home enjoys constant mountain breezes that naturally cool the interior, making air conditioning rarely necessary despite eight independent units throughout. Energy independence is built in, with 14 kW of solar panels, a robust battery backup system serving both residences, and a 16 kW propane generator—ensuring uninterrupted comfort even when the grid goes down. The 3.21-acre estate is rich with mature fruit trees and vibrant tropical life. Pick fresh limes for sunset cocktails, listen to the calls of toucans and scarlet macaws, and enjoy the rare sense of space, privacy, and peace that only land like this can provide. As part of the Costa Verde community, ownership includes access to exceptional amenities: scenic walking trails, tennis courts, swimming pools, fitness facilities, a clubhouse, and even a heliport. Despite the privacy and seclusion, you remain just minutes from beaches, dining, medical services, and daily conveniences. Casa Luz is not simply a luxury home—it is a sanctuary. A private, self-sufficient retreat set within one of Costa Rica’s most prestigious coastal communities. Properties of this caliber, location, and vision are exceedingly rare. (CB-DH)

High above the Pacific, where the emerald ridges of Escaleras embrace the sea, stands Acqua Blu, a residence unlike any other in Costa Rica. Completed in 2025, this architectural masterpiece marries block, steel, stone, and glass in perfect harmony, a vision of modern elegance set within the raw beauty of the jungle. A Grand Entrance A custom pivoting steel door opens to a shimmering pond water feature, a tranquil prelude to the wonders within. The floating staircase, masterfully crafted elevates you into the expansive residence. From the moment you step inside, the villa reveals its artistry: entire walls of custom fabricated minimalist glass retract to erase boundaries, uniting the refined interiors with the sweeping deck, the infinity-edge saltwater pool, and the endless horizon of the Pacific Ocean. Crafted Perfection Every surface tells a story of excellence. Spanish anti-slip tile floors provide elegance and comfort underfoot. Electric custom shades move with quiet precision. At night, an LED lighting system transforms the home into a constellation of light, glowing softly against the rainforest backdrop. Private Sanctuaries Five-bedroom suites, each with its own five-piece bathroom, are retreats of serenity, where every window captures both ocean and jungle. From the canopy, toucans call. Scarlet macaws flash their wings in the sky. Here, every awakening is a moment in nature’s theater. Indulgence & Wellness Acqua Blu was built not only for living, but for thriving: · A chef’s kitchen with Invisacook induction and double stainless refrigerators. · A lounge and bar with billiards, rivaling the finest private clubs. · A wellness center with gym, cold plunge, steam, and sauna. · A 360° infinity pool and 10-person jacuzzi, finished with imported natural stones from Indonesia. · A sunken fire pit for fifteen, where flames rise against the vast night sky. Masterfully Appointed No expense was spared. Every piece of furniture was custom made in Costa Rica and Bali, with materials and fabrics chosen to endure the climate of the Southern Pacific. The villa is crowned with a standing seam insulated steel roof, built strong against rain and sun alike. Lush gardens, both inside and out, bring nature into every corner of the home, including a soaring second-level atrium. A Rare Jewel Set on 5,500 m² (1.36 acres), with a villa of 13,000 sq ft Acqua Blu is more than a home. It is a stage for nine months of sunsets each year, a sanctuary alive with birds, monkeys, and the rhythms of the jungle. The ideal elevation of 1300 feet ensures year round breezes and sets the stage for the most magical vistas. It is a one-of-a-kind estate — perhaps the most beautiful in Costa Rica, and one of the few in the world that unites so many rare luxuries under one roof. A place where nature and design are not divided, but seamlessly whole. (BZ-TF-BR)
