There are homes and properties whose unique settings, views, designs, and amenities stand out amongst all others in a given market. Casa Bendicida is quite simply a one of a kind estate, unlike any other property not only in the region but in all of Costa Rica. Nestled on a bluff with 100 miles of white water coastal ocean views you are simply overwhelmed with the power and beauty of the panoramas of Hills of or Portalon and privacy when arriving at the property. The more than 5 acres of pristine ridgeline also offers another incredibly rare attribute which is an abundance of flat usable land, without sacrificing views and elevation.
The main residence is a sprawling three bedroom estate home that is built entirely on one level making it ideal for investors who want the simplicity of a lifestyle without stairs. The modern tropical design focuses on bringing natural light and cool breezes into the home to allow for a seamless blend of interior and exterior living. There are a total of 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, including a main room that offers 180 degree ocean views, a private office, and a private terrace where time just seems to slip away. The home was designed with health and wellness in mind and includes a private gym and an infinity edge lap pool which runs almost the length of the entire home. There is a cooking kitchen with beautiful granite, stainless steel appliances, and an ice maker along with a walk in pantry. The open floor plan allows you to share with family and friends both inside and out and the view up and down the coast, as well as to the rainforest backdrop is almost impossible to capture in words.
In addition to the spacious main house, there is also an independent guest villa included in the sale. This villa has its own fully equipped kitchen and living area, spacious bedroom and bath, and is ideal for either additional guests or for a live in caretaker for clients with interest.
While the main home and guest home are simply spectacular, a great deal of the magic of this property lies in the 5 plus acres of amazing grounds which are included. Adjacent to the parking area there is a football field sized flat, landscaped area which has been designed as a dog training and playground. The entire property is fenced making this a dog lovers' dream and this training area with some of the most amazing views you can imagine is spectacular. There is a full greenhouse adjacent to this ideal for growing your own herbs, vegetables, etc and with this large flat area, the potential alternative uses are endless. Another incredible feature of the home is the WORLD'S MOST AMAZING PICKLEBALL COURT! That's right. at nearly 1000 feet of elevation with stunning sunset ocean views, you and your friends/neighbors can enjoy mornings and afternoons of the fastest growing sport in the world on a custom built court in paradise. There is a small rancho for shade and a private entry for when you want to have guests over for a tourney but want to keep the main house private. The rest of the 5 plus acres of property is quite literally a mature and producing orchard of exotic tropical fruits of every imaginable variety and coconuts to harvest and drink to cool offer and hydrate. Imagine taking an afternoon stroll on your private estate each day and picking fresh tropical fruits right from the trees to enjoy right from Mother Nature!
This property is not only a turn key ready estate in one of the most amazing settings in the world, there is room for expansion, a second villa to be built, or the creative use of all of the landscaped and flat areas on what feels like the top of the world. The location allows you the sense and tranquility of absolute privacy, but you are part of a community of homes in Hills of Portalon which also provides a sense of community and it is all just halfway between Manuel Antonio and Dominical so the amenities of larger tourist destinations are within site and easy connectivity.
