4 Bedroom Ocean-View Estate for Sale, Hills Of Portalon, Matapalo, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Big Views, Tropical Living and Strong Rental Potential Near Manuel Antonio

Perched on the front ridge of the Hills of Portalon above Quepos, this modern 4-bedroom home delivers some of the most breathtaking views in the region — sweeping panoramas across the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding mountains. Completed in 2021 to a high specification and set on 1.24 acres of lush tropical grounds, it works equally well as a permanent residence, a holiday retreat or an income-generating vacation rental.

Stylish, Light-Filled and Built to Enjoy

The design is contemporary tropical — open, airy and built to catch the natural mountain breezes. At its heart is an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that flows straight out onto a full-width covered terrace. The kitchen is fitted with solid wood cabinetry, marble worktops and a marble island, all complemented by stainless steel appliances. The dining area seats 8–10 comfortably, with custom teak benches incorporating built-in storage. Outside, the hand-finished natural stone infinity pool — with LED lighting and uninterrupted ocean views — is the undisputed centrepiece of the home.

Four Bedrooms, Each with Its Own Appeal

The master suite enjoys direct ocean views, terrace and pool access, and a well-appointed ensuite with dual vanities, a large shower and a walk-in wardrobe. Two further bedrooms occupy the opposite wing — one with ocean views and pool access, the other with a private mountain-view balcony. On the upper level, a fourth bedroom with its own ensuite and covered terrace works perfectly as a guest suite, home office or caretaker accommodation.

Practical, Well-Equipped and Family-Friendly

The grounds are unusually flat for a hillside property — great for families with children or pets — and planted with over 20 mature fruit trees alongside lush tropical planting. A striking solid wood floating staircase connects the two levels. Practical features include a two-car garage, a laundry room with custom cabinetry, a full security system with cameras and alarm, high-speed internet, cable TV, a pressurised water system and a 1,750-litre water storage tank.

Beaches, Surf and National Parks Within Easy Reach

Matapalo sits in a sweet spot on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. A waterfall is just 10 minutes away, the surf beach at Matapalo is 15 minutes down the road, and both Manuel Antonio National Park to the north and the laid-back surf and dining towns of Dominical and Uvita — home to Marino Ballena National Park — are an easy drive to the south.

A Hard Property to Walk Away From

Exceptional Pacific views, quality finishes, a prime location between Manuel Antonio and Dominical and genuine vacation rental credentials — this is a compelling package. It would make a great option for anyone searching for Quepos real estate .
