Welcome to Nido Escondido – an exclusive tropical retreat that blends privacy, luxury and nature in perfect harmony. This stunning gated property, located just 5 easy minutes off the coastal highway, boasts 5.4 acres with breathtaking white water ocean views where you can immerse yourself in a vibrant rainforest jungle teeming with wildlife — and no other homes in sight! The main house and connected guest house, designed by Luis A. Rodriguez of RSA Design Group, comprise over 10,000 square feet of improvements that were completed in 2017. The opulent master suite includes its own private plunge pool, three terraces and a spacious office. The massive great room includes a gourmet kitchen, dining and seating area comfortable for intimate or large gatherings. The open lower level includes a gym/media/yoga room, a bar kitchen and additional dining and lounge areas where one can relax in the breeze and comforting sound of the gurgling fountain. A four-stop elevator connects all levels to the lookout "nest" that offers panoramic views of the Osa Peninsula, Whale's Tail, Cano Island, and Manuel Antonio. The two en-suite guest rooms enjoy access to their own roof deck over the two car garage. Relax by the lagoon pool or host large gatherings on the expansive sandstone patio, while being entertained by groups of white-faced and howler monkeys and an array of hummingbirds and toucans. Two charming guest casitas, each approximately 1,500 square feet containing two ensuite bedrooms and central kitchen areas, were also renovated in 2017. Discover the wonders of the floral and fruit gardens and deep jungles as you wander down the landscaped paths. The compound is private and secured by concrete walls, two automated gated entrances, and state-of-the-art internet service and security cameras. This home is built for entertaining, and features top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances including a 60” gas range with double ovens, 48” refrigerator, ice machine, wine cooler, coffee maker, microwave and several refrigerated drawers. The imported Restoration Hardware and other custom-made furniture and furnishings allow you to move right in with just your toothbrush. Nido Escondido, or the "Hidden Nest," is the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and space to host friends, family, and staff in an easily accessible private enclave located in the most prestigious neighborhood of Costa Rica’s up-and-coming Southern Pacific Zone. For those seeking additional land for future development or passive investment, three adjacent parcels of approximately 16 total acres, one with a 3 bedroom guest house, are available under separate negotiation.
