About Luxury Contemporary Residence With Guest Suite

Casa Escondida, meaning “The Hidden House,” is a 3,500 sq. ft. private residence that truly lives up to its name—secluded, tranquil, and discreetly nestled within a lush hillside setting. Ideally located yet privately tucked away, this gated estate offers exceptional privacy without compromising convenience.

Situated on over one acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, the property features a paved driveway leading to a welcoming entrance courtyard enhanced by architectural details and ambient evening lighting. A covered gazebo-style entry introduces the main residence, while an additional access point through the mudroom and laundry area provides direct entry to the kitchen for everyday convenience.

A custom solid-wood pivot door opens into a bright, open-concept living space finished with elegant Italian flooring, modern design elements, and premium appliances throughout. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is strategically positioned near the entrance for effortless grocery unloading and offers full circulation around a spacious island with seating for four—ideal for entertaining. It is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, including a French-door refrigerator with a built-in ice maker, gas range and oven with integrated microwave and ventilation, dishwasher, abundant cabinetry, and a generous pantry.

The dining and living areas flow seamlessly from the kitchen, framed by expansive windows that fill the home with natural light while showcasing the surrounding tropical gardens. The living space features a plush, cloud-like modular sofa designed for ultimate comfort, perfect for movie nights on a 65-inch Samsung TV. A stylish half bath with soaring ceilings and large windows is conveniently located nearby. The dining area highlights a striking manufactured-stone table that comfortably seats eight and connects effortlessly to the outdoor patio and kitchen.

Outdoor living is equally exceptional. Expansive covered terraces provide ample space for lounging, dining, and entertaining, while the outdoor kitchen—complete with a four-burner Napoleon BBQ—is perfect for poolside gatherings. The patio extends along the full length of the pool, offering both shaded seating and sun loungers to enjoy the Costa Rican climate.

The one-of-a-kind infinity pool is designed for relaxation and recreation, featuring a spacious submerged platform, dual stair entries, and built-in bench seating. Multiple lighting options create a captivating atmosphere, allowing the space to be enjoyed day or night.

All three bedrooms are designed as private primary suites, each featuring king-size beds on custom floating frames, high ceilings, walk-in closets with built-in wardrobes, and ensuite bathrooms with dual white quartz vanities. Every suite includes its own private terrace with a heated outdoor shower. Two suites are located within the main residence, while the third is a detached poolside suite—ideal for guests or additional privacy.

Location is key, and Casa Escondida delivers. The property is just five minutes from Marina Pez Vela, local medical services, the airport, restaurants, and a wide range of amenities. It also borders the wildlife corridor of Manuel Antonio National Park, offering an immersive natural setting. Monkeys are frequent visitors, including families of howler monkeys in the surrounding jungle, along with white-tailed deer, scarlet macaws, and toucans—creating a truly unique environment where nature comes to you
