Planned and built by famous Costa Rican architect Ronald Zürcher, this second level condo located at the end of a private community boasts cathedral height ceilings that frame unobscured panoramic views of the peninsula reminiscent of a modern day Jurassic World.

Huge glass doors open up to let the cool ocean breezes in through the main living area ideal for gatherings. The single level floor plan offers two spacious master bedrooms and a third bedroom with double beds. The décor could be taken straight from the pages of Architectural Digest featuring Brazilian mid-century design furniture as well as the beautiful work of locally crafted wood pieces.

In a few days you will be accustomed to the natural soundtrack of howler, white faced and Congo monkey’s as well as the wide array of birds including parrots, hummingbirds and falcons. Iguanas bask in the sunlight by day along the golf course and main roads while fireflies and indigenous bats claim the skies by night. Each evening shares an original sunset worthy of photography.
