CASA ORQUIDEA – LUXURY HOME WITH OCEAN VIEWS IN GATED COMMUNITY

Welcome to Casa Orquídea!  Located within the Colinas Pacifica gated community in Platanillo this luxurious 4 bedroom and 3 bath ocean and mountain view home offers comfort, convenience, ideal climate, and complete privacy.  The ornate handcrafted gated entrance to the end of the road property with lush and immaculate landscaped grounds transports you to your own personal paradise.  An ideal location 15 minutes to Dominical beach and 30 minutes to San Isidro city and only minutes to Platanillo with supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacy, and soon to be gas station!

The home is thoughtfully designed on two levels with the main living level entrance into a spacious open concept living room and kitchen.  The kitchen is straight out of magazine or Pinterest with its glossy white cabinetry creating a bright ambiance and plenty of quartz counter space for a world-class chef or just preparing a simple meal picked from your garden and fruit trees.

Off of the living room is a dedicated office which is perfect for working from home or managing your business from afar.  The guest bedroom and bath are accessed from the kitchen hallway providing comfortable accommodations for visiting family and friends.  Also off the other side of the kitchen is the laundry room, pantry, and doorway to the carport for easy entry with groceries.

The principal bedroom is on the opposite side of the main level creating a peaceful and private retreat.  The spacious bedroom has a huge bathroom and walk through closet.  A king size bed and still plenty of space with large bay windows of the mountains and ocean and exterior door to the covered terrace and outdoor living area. The bathroom is like your own personal sap with granite counter tops, walk-in shower, 2-person jacuzzi tub and his and hers vanities.

This enormous terrace and outdoor living room is one of the best features of the home for enjoying Costa Rica’s year-round tropical lifestyle.  Expansive covered area with BBQ grill, sink, and pizza oven plus circular outdoor sofa make gathering with friends and family a dream come true.  And if that was not enough, there is a professional pool table with custom lighting which is something very unique and not found in many homes.  All of this overlooking the panoramic views of the mountains, valley, ocean and incredible pool area with manicured gardens below.

Exterior stairs lead down to the pool level with special painted cool white deck that does not get too hot on sunny days.  Outdoor shower next to the pool for rinsing off when arriving from the beach or working in the gardens.

This level includes a third bedroom and full bathroom, making it particularly well suited for guests who appreciate having their own space close to the pool and outdoor areas. A fourth bedroom provides additional flexibility and could easily serve as another sleeping space, home gym, hobby room, or movie room depending on the your needs.

The property is like having your very own botanical gardens with tropical landscaping and meandering trails through green grass and mature fruit trees.  Raised beds planted with fresh vegetables and even okra the size of a small tree!  And for dog lovers there are two separate fenced areas in the front and the back, which is a truly unique feature for your furry family members.

Colinas Pacifica is a gated community with community caretaker living next to the gate for added sense of security and privacy.  The mountain elevation of about 1,400 feet offers the perfect climate much cooler than the coastal towns and beaches with moderate day time temperatures and cool fresh mountains breezes at night.

Whether used as a full-time residence, second home, or tropical retreat, this property offers a versatile floor plan, generous guest accommodations, ocean views, and beautiful grounds within the added privacy of a gated community.  Make your appointment to view it in person today!!
