Property overview

Casa Encantador is an ocean-view mini estate on the highly coveted Escaleras mountainside, one of the Southern Zone's most prestigious addresses. Pacific vistas, real privacy, and a versatile mix of buildings make it suitable for a permanent residence, a multigenerational home, a rental income property, or a retreat destination. Owners have used it — or envisioned it — as everything from yoga retreat space with decks over the jungle and ocean, to a live-in residence paired with rental units, to the base for a small family business.

The property is also rich in tropical abundance: mature mango and coconut trees, thriving pineapple plants, and ample space to expand additional fruit trees or gardens.

Main House The main home is designed with high-quality finishes and rich local hardwoods, spanning two levels. Recent upgrades include modern windows and doors, updated bathroom fixtures, and elegant countertops. - Upper Level: A spacious great room, a bedroom, a full bath, and two decks — one facing the lush jungle for quiet mornings and another framing the ocean views for sunsets. - Lower Level: A second living area (readily convertible into a third bedroom), another bedroom, and a full bath. Includes a west-facing outdoor living zone with BBQ, wet bar, and outdoor kitchen — a strong entertaining setup.

Guest House Positioned near the entrance, this charming two-story home has a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy back porch, a second-level terrace with ocean views, a bedroom, a full bathroom, a laundry room, and ample storage. There is also potential to add a private plunge pool for additional luxury.

Multigenerational Living With multiple independent living spaces, the guest house, and buildable areas on the property, extended family can live in comfort and privacy without stacking under one roof. Several large buildable areas provide the space to develop additional guest villas or an eco-lodge project if a buyer's plans expand over time.

Investment Potential The estate has a strong rental history across both long- and short-term markets, giving prospective owners real historical data to work from rather than projections.

For buyers seeking a distinctive Escaleras property with room to grow — literally in trees, buildings, and income — Casa Encantador offers a rare configuration in an already scarce mountainside inventory.
