Castillo Puesta del Sol

Property overview

Castillo Puesta del Sol is a Mediterranean-style estate set on five acres inside the gated community of Marina Vista II in Escaleras, above Dominicalito on the Costa Ballena coast. The property holds one of the more complete privacy positions in the area, with turquoise ocean views over Dominicalito Bay stretching to the horizon and full sunset exposure every evening of the year.

The exterior is finished in stone under a Teja Real tile roof, a low-maintenance system that also keeps the interior naturally cooler. A hardwood entry gate opens to a driveway lined with palms, pineapples, and tropical planting that leads to the home.

Inside, the main living area is open-concept, finished with marble-accented tile from Spain and tropical hardwood ceilings. The living room and kitchen share one continuous space anchored by a kitchen island cut from a single piece of Costa Rican Cenizero wood. Appliances include Bosch across the board: a gas range, two ovens, a dishwasher, and two refrigerators. The outdoor terrace extends the kitchen with a fire pit and full outdoor kitchen, positioned for evening dining under open sky.

The main house holds four bedrooms, each configured as a private retreat. The master suite includes a four-poster bed, a spa-style en-suite with a claw-foot soaking tub, and a private terrace with direct ocean views. An adjacent sitting room adds a quiet secondary space off the primary. Also on the main level: a home office and a circular wine room with capacity for over 1,000 bottles, built for serious collecting.

Outside, an infinity pool and jacuzzi are oriented directly toward the ocean, surrounded by tropical gardens that pull in local wildlife regularly. Circulation around the pool and terrace supports both quiet days and larger gatherings.

Guest capacity is significant. An attached, independent guest unit provides a first-floor accessible bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, useful for guests with mobility considerations or anyone preferring single-level living. A separate two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house sits on the property with its own kitchen, living room, and private patio, giving visiting family or long-term guests complete independence from the main residence.

The combination of scale, materials, view corridor, wine storage, guest infrastructure, and Marina Vista II's gated setting makes this property well suited to buyers looking for a full estate on the Costa Ballena rather than a single-structure villa. The Mediterranean styling reads as distinctive in a market dominated by tropical modern architecture.
