Casa Bonita is a one-of-a-kind dream castle built with an artist's vision and talent. The two-acre, ocean view estate with infinity pool is tucked into lush tropical hills, in earshot of waves breaking on the beach. It is a masterpiece of curved lines, balconies and gardens.
The grounds and gardens are a profusion of plants, sculptures and art. The free-form infinity pool cascades to the ocean vista. The entertainment deck has built-in barbeque and ice box. Textured adobe-style walls, thatched roofs, bamboo ceilings and mosaic walkways provide organic touches.
The great room has fully-equipped kitchen, dining room and comfy living area, with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and sliding glass doors. The centerpiece is an enclosed courtyard dug into the mountain with a 22-foot waterfall and grotto garden visible from all showers.
All bedrooms and baths have ample knotty-pine closets and cabinets, wall sculptures, garden views, and balconies. Artistic details are too numerous to list, sun and moon entry hall, spiral staircase, built-ins, bay windows, palm tree on pool bottom, pocket doors, and wall frescoes are only a few. The artist's touch extends even to shower knobs, doorstops and garden lights.
With three bedrooms, 3.5 baths, great room, media room, thatch-roof balconies, secure storage, and pool and parking, this estate has everything an owner could want for a deluxe retreat. Costa Rica's only all-cast-in-place concrete home is built to strongest standards. Security is provided by two garage doors, dry room with safe and phones, and alarm system with motion-and-heat sensors. This is the ultimate in art, privacy and luxury. |
