Villa Corazon de la Selva: Pristine Ocean View Luxury Home For Sale

Property overview

Villa Corazon de la Selva reads as much like a piece of architecture as it does a residence. Framed by the surrounding forest, the home sits distinctly within its wooded setting rather than imposed on it. Perched on a ridge above the Pacific, the villa commands strong ocean views and pulls the surrounding wilderness in through floor-to-ceiling windows, which also keep steady refreshing breezes moving through the interior.

The design is NeoTropical modern, executed by architect Eric Bogantes of ALIANZ. Concrete and glass are used in balance, with generous room proportions that manage to feel comfortable rather than overwhelming. The rooms are large but read as embracing spaces, and the material palette lets the surrounding jungle stay the visual focus.

The grandest room in the house is the primary living area. It carries a cathedral ceiling nearly three stories tall, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, which creates the sensation of sitting inside the canopy itself. This room drops a few steps below the main floor and opens onto a deck edged by a Balinese-tiled wraparound pool. The pool sits at the boundary between interior and exterior and softens the transition between the two.

Just past the pool and down a short set of stairs is a separate guest suite located outside the main house. This mini-apartment includes a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette, and is well suited to guests who want more privacy from the rest of the group.

The principal kitchen and dining area occupy the main floor as an open-concept mezzanine that looks out over the main living room and pool to the jungle beyond. With open views on three sides, the kitchen works well for a cook or for a resident chef, and it is set up with top-tier appliances and amenities.

Also on the main level is a large bedroom with an en-suite bath and its own personal deck. This room is well suited to anyone with reduced mobility or anyone who prefers to avoid climbing stairs to reach a bedroom.

Just past the main entrance is a separate housekeeper's quarters, giving the estate operational independence for staff.

The upper floor holds three additional bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, joined by a large den or office area that adds flexible space to the private wing of the home.

For a buyer looking for architect-driven work with real spatial impact, canopy-level primary living, a separate detached guest suite, staff housing, and strong ocean views, Villa Corazon de la Selva is a distinctive addition to the current Escaleras inventory.
