Casa Morada

Description:

Casa Morada is an extraordinary six-bedroom luxury estate located in Pacific Heights, an exclusive hillside enclave set within the lush mountains above Potrero. Offering exceptional privacy and tranquility, the home is just a ten-minute drive from the charming coastal village of Potrero, known for its relaxed ambiance, excellent dining, boutique shops, and outdoor activities such as horseback riding, snorkeling, and fishing. Nearby beaches—including Playa Potrero, Playa Penca, and Playa Prieta—provide access to some of the most pristine and peaceful stretches of coastline in the region.

Perched in an elevated position, Casa Morada commands sweeping views across the Las Catalinas Conservation Land and trail system, extending toward Punta Zapotal and the ultra-luxury Zapotal Beach and Golf community. The setting delivers a rare sense of seclusion while remaining connected to nature and nearby coastal amenities. Access is via a combination of concrete and gravel roads, with a four-wheel-drive vehicle recommended—enhancing the authentic hillside estate experience.

Families will appreciate the proximity to several internationally recognized private schools, while Guanacaste International Airport (LIR), located just one hour away, ensures seamless travel for both business and leisure.

Completed in 2024, this striking 350 m² (3,800 sq ft) contemporary residence was designed to maximize panoramic Pacific Ocean and mountain views. Casa Morada seamlessly blends refined minimalist architecture with warm, inviting finishes, creating an effortless indoor–outdoor lifestyle ideal for sophisticated entertaining or private retreat living.

The home is the proud recipient of two International Property Awards for Architecture and Interior Design, recognizing its bold modern volumes and elevated design execution. It was conceived by the internationally renowned team of Izen Architecture and Ali Budd Interiors, whose collaborative vision is evident in every detail.

The residence features six thoughtfully designed bedrooms—five with king-sized beds and one with two queen beds. Each space reflects a modern minimalist aesthetic accented with subtle pops of color. Select bedrooms include furnished balconies or patios, with one showcasing a luxurious outdoor soaking tub. Several bathrooms are en suite, and three bedrooms are equipped with smart TVs. The four-and-a-half bathrooms are appointed with high-end stone and tile finishes, vessel sinks, rainfall showers, and spa-inspired details.

At the heart of the home, a dramatic open-concept living area embraces the panoramic setting. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open seamlessly to the infinity-edge pool and expansive terraces, blurring the line between interior and exterior living. Outdoor amenities include a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with BBQ, refined lounge areas, and a refreshing outdoor shower—all overlooking the ocean.

The chef’s kitchen flows naturally from the main living area and features a large central island with seating, open shelving, elegant marble countertops, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

The property is fully walled and secured with an electronic gate, ensuring privacy and peace of mind. A separate, independent caretaker’s residence adds functionality and convenience, making the estate equally suited for full-time living or luxury rental operations.

Casa Morada represents a rare opportunity to own an award-winning ocean-view estate that harmonizes architectural excellence, security, and the breathtaking natural beauty of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast.

An exceptional adjacent 5,030.28 m² lot is also available for purchase at $225,000, offering additional privacy, expansion potential, or investment value.
