Modern Oceanview Villa with Asian-Inspired Design in Costa Ballena

Perched in one of Costa Ballena's most desirable hillside communities, Casa Markissa is a beautifully designed 3,626 sq. ft. oceanview villa that seamlessly blends contemporary architecture with carefully curated Asian-inspired décor. Located just five minutes from Playa Hermosa and only ten minutes from Uvita and Marino Ballena National Park, this exceptional property offers an ideal combination of privacy, luxury, and convenience. For buyers seeking a Costa Rica luxury investment, Casa Markissa stands out for its ocean views, turnkey condition, independent guest accommodations, and proven vacation rental performance.

A scenic five-minute drive from the paved road along a well-maintained gravel road leads to the home. A remote-controlled entrance opens to a concrete driveway with covered parking for two vehicles, along with additional guest parking.

Stepping through the handcrafted Guanacaste wood front door, you're welcomed into a bright open-concept living space where soaring ceilings, panoramic windows, and warm vinyl flooring create an atmosphere of understated elegance. The interiors have been thoughtfully furnished with custom-made pieces and carefully selected treasures from Bali and India, including several authentic antique furnishings that give the home its distinctive character.

The living room flows effortlessly into the gourmet kitchen, creating a space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Premium KitchenAid appliances, granite countertops, a large island with seating for four, and abundant workspace make the kitchen as functional as it is beautiful. Adjacent to the kitchen, an impressive teak dining table imported from Indonesia comfortably seats six while enjoying spectacular ocean views.

The main residence features two spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, thoughtfully positioned to maximize privacy and capture the surrounding tropical landscape. The primary suite offers a king-size bed, walk-in closet, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom complete with dual vanities and a Balinese-inspired soaking tub. Sliding doors open directly onto the pool terrace, allowing you to wake up to peaceful jungle and ocean views.

Located on the opposite side of the home, the guest suite enjoys its own private terrace with beautiful sunset views and easy access to a second full bathroom, making it ideal for family or visiting guests.

On the lower level, a fully independent guest apartment provides outstanding flexibility as private guest accommodations or an income-producing rental. Complete with its own entrance and parking area, the apartment includes a king-size bedroom, full bathroom, kitchenette, washer and dryer, and everything needed for comfortable independent living.

Outdoor living is where Casa Markissa truly shines. Expansive terraces frame breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding rainforest, while the inviting swimming pool—finished with premium imported Sukabumi stone—creates a true resort atmosphere. A handcrafted wooden spa adds another layer of relaxation, making this an exceptional setting for entertaining or simply enjoying Costa Rica's year-round tropical climate.

Additional amenities include a dedicated laundry room, generous storage space, and a backup power system capable of supplying essential electricity to the main home—including lighting, fans, and refrigeration—for approximately two to three hours during power outages.

The beautifully landscaped grounds feature approximately 50 young fruit trees, creating a lush tropical orchard that will continue to mature and provide a variety of fresh fruit for years to come. The property's tropical setting, privacy, and proximity to Uvita reflect many of the qualities buyers seek in Uvita tropical acreage homes and other distinctive residences throughout Costa Ballena.

Beyond its beauty, Casa Markissa is also a proven investment. The property has operated successfully as a vacation rental for more than three years, earning consistent five-star reviews and providing reliable rental income, making it a true turnkey investment opportunity.

Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, an elegant vacation retreat, or a high-performing income property, Casa Markissa offers an exceptional lifestyle in one of Costa Rica's most sought-after destinations—where luxury, nature, and tranquility come together on the spectacular Costa Ballena coast.
