Description
Manuel Antonio's most unique and popular Luxury Estate home, Casa Maravilla, redefines the art of tropical living with this fully air-conditioned luxurious 6 bedrooms, 6 bathroom, waterfall pool home, guesthouse and a separate new Casita located on Manuel Antonio's most private hill top estate.
The stunning ocean views and spectacular nightly sunsets overlooking the Pacific Ocean are sure to take your breath away. Or, maybe you would prefer to just sit in the sun on the expansive deck, or the luxurious new 800 sq.ft. Rancho which includes a bar, lounge and outdoor cooking area with dining for 19 and multiple ceiling fans or to swim and play under the waterfalls of the massive infinity pool (which includes bar stools in the water), from the total privacy of this tropical estate.
Located at the end of the road on a hilltop over the Pacific Ocean, and in a particularly private part of Manuel Antonio, Casa Maravilla offers seclusion at it's best, while being ideally located halfway between the adjoining towns of Quepos and Manuel Antonio. The Manuel Antonio Nation Park and the multiple white sand beaches rimmed with pristine rainforest, are the treasured jewel of Costa Rica's park system and are less that 5 miles away while, Quepos, with it's wide variety of shopping, restaurants, bars, Casino, markets, and sport-fishing fleet is less than 5 minutes in the other direction.
Casa Maravilla is loaded with lush gardens (with over 100 landscape lights for a beautiful nighttime ambiance and more than 100 banana trees) and tropical rainforests, which border an important and well-traveled biological corridor through the area, so guests at Casa Maravilla can expect to see an abundance of wildlife on a frequent basis. Three types of friendly monkeys visit the property regularly, as well as the fascinating and slow moving tree sloths (we have had up to 5 at a time), a large variety of birds, and a plethora of other sometimes hard to describe animals, so bring your camera and you'll be sure to enjoy the best of the jungle and it's amazing inhabitants from the terraces and gardens of this amazing luxury villa.
The home itself is most accurately described as a work of art and is considered among the finest of the custom homes in the Manuel Antonio area - constructed entirely out of Almond wood! Fine craftsmanship and loving attention to details are evident throughout the house, which makes it a pleasure to experience. The large infinity swimming pool with its expansive decks, was designed by and award winning architect for outdoor relaxing and entertaining, while the beautiful New Rancho with a bar, barbeque and dining area and outdoor Plasma TV is perfect for hosting groups or parties. Casa Maravilla is also specially designed for the varying weather of the tropics; to be suitable and comfortable for enjoying every day, season, or mood. The 30-foot high hardwood ceilings provide excellent ventilation, and sliding glass doors all the way around, allow you to either open the home completely to the fresh pacific breezes by day and the sounds of the jungle at night, or to close it up and enjoy the experience in fully air conditioned comfort.
You will enjoy every unique room of this tastefully decorated home, each having a private bathroom, 4 having private terraces, and three have their own kitchenettes. Every room is different and truly unique, like the 20-foot almond-wood catwalk, suspended through the center of the home, which leads to an all hardwood master suite, of which the entire front wall is a plate glass window facing the Pacific.
So relax in the swimming pool, looking out over the infinity edge, while listening to rushing water from the natural stone water falls, as the sounds of the jungle consume you. Enjoy complete privacy, tucked away in the heart of Manuel Antonio, the most exclusive vacation spot in Costa Rica, with its endless activities, numerous restaurants, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
