9 Bedroom Luxury Estate for Sale, Santa Teresa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

An Ocean View Estate with Walking Access to the Beach

Located in north Santa Teresa, Puntarenas, this estate offers panoramic ocean views just a short walk from one of the area’s most secluded beaches — two qualities seldom found together in a single Santa Teresa property – perfect whether you’re looking for an extraordinary private residence, a multi-generational family compound, or a world-class rental property with exceptional income-generating potential.

Set on a 3,000 square meter (0.74 acre) lot, the property offers approximately 6,458 square feet (600 square meters) of interior living space including 9 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms (5 full, 1 half), distributed across several structures and elevation levels connected by terraces, pathways and outdoor social spaces.

European Elegance Meets Tropical Architecture

Originally envisioned by a French-American family as their primary residence and gathering place for friends from around the world, the estate reflects a refined blend of European elegance and Costa Rican tropical architecture. Natural stone finishes, warm textures and carefully curated details give it an atmosphere that is sophisticated but genuinely inviting.

A Black Marble Infinity Pool Facing the Sunset

At the heart of the estate is a sunset-facing black marble saltwater infinity pool with a wrap-around design, a 15-meter swimming lane and an integrated Jacuzzi with a vertical fountain. Across three elevation levels the property also offers multiple Jacuzzis, plunge pools, expansive terraces, outdoor lounges and al-fresco dining spaces.

The Main Villa

A separate king suite casita, currently used as an office and recording studio, features an all-travertino bathroom with a rainfall shower, seated bathtub and waterfall stone wall. Expansive open-plan living and entertainment areas connect the kitchen, dining room, lounge, bar, library, music room and outdoor living room, with panoramic French doors throughout, a multi-zone indoor and outdoor sound system and a Lutron smart lighting system controlled from an iPhone.
