Architectural Masterpiece with Panoramic Whale Tail & Year-Round Sunset Views

Property overview

¡Que Brava! is a steel, concrete, and glass residence within the premier Costa Verde Estates community above Uvita's southern Pacific coast, conceived by architect Martin Wells. The 697 m² home on 16,717 m² commands sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Marino Ballena's Whale Tail, and layered rainforest ridgelines — framed every evening by year-round sunsets that are among the most consistent on the Costa Rican Pacific. The home's signature steel pivot door, echoing the custom entry gate, opens onto the main level where 11-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors surround an open-plan Dekton-clad kitchen, dining, and living area.

The saltwater infinity-edge pool is finished in seamless Balinese Sukabumi tile set in lava stone, flowing toward the horizon like sculpture. A sleek stainless steel Viking outdoor kitchen and dining area complement the pool terrace. Adjacent to the pool is a private outdoor spa retreat with a rain shower and a cantilevered Balinese stone tub — an intimate sanctuary enclosed by the jungle where privacy is absolute. Stone paths wind through curated tropical fruit and floral gardens throughout the property. The second level rises high above the canopy with four serene bedrooms: the primary suite features a lava stone-encased double rain shower with 180-degree vistas, a private patio, and a generous walk-in closet; a junior primary with ensuite opens to a travertine-covered terrace overlooking the Whale Tail; two additional guest rooms share a bath.

Sustainability complements the design at every turn. Built in 2020, the estate carries 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and is priced at $3,250,000. The combination of architectural authorship, finish level, location within Costa Verde Estates, and the quality of the views makes this the reference property for its category in the southern zone.
