Tropical Modern Masterpiece: Where Sustainability Meets Luxury

Pull through the private gate onto sprawling, manicured grounds that cascade toward the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by untouched jungle. Here, the only sounds are birdsong and the gentle rippling of natural quebradas—a sanctuary of complete privacy nestled between two mountain ridges.

Architectural Excellence

Built in 2024 by a US engineer with an uncompromising vision, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home represents the pinnacle of tropical modern design. Every element—from the 23-foot vaulted glass wall in the living room to the floating teak stairs set against 8-inch concrete walls—showcases meticulous attention to detail and architectural innovation.

The property includes a dedicated garage and gym that can be converted to additional living space, completing this exceptional residence.

The home features 11-foot ceilings throughout both floors, creating an expansive sense of light and air. Custom architectural steel, exposed concrete walls, and polished concrete floors provide both structural integrity and striking aesthetics. Ultra-efficient triple-panel, Low-E coated, argon-filled glazing spans the home, while open teak ceilings encourage passive ventilation and add warmth to the modern palette.

Distinctive Shou Sugi Ban-finished teak cladding—a traditional Japanese technique—provides natural environmental resistance with a dramatic black, textured appearance. The seismic-engineered foundation and tropical-fortified roof ensure longevity and safety in this dynamic environment.

Sustainability Engineered to Perfection

This residence operates as a showcase of environmental innovation. A 40-panel, 24kW solar array with battery storage allows the home to run entirely off-grid when desired, with net metering to sell excess power back. During outages, the solar batteries provide seamless whole-home power.

The sophisticated passive cooling system draws fresh air from a shaded ravine through HEPA filters, while integrated roof ventilation expels heat and humidity. Ultra-efficient insulation paired with solid concrete construction blocks tropical heat, and a geothermal heat pump extracts heat from the home while diverting it to the domestic hot water, spa, and pool—eliminating waste while maximizing comfort.

Indoor-Outdoor Living Perfected

Large wraparound decks and patios blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. The crown jewel: an infinity-edge heated pool built on a cliffside, offering uninterrupted panoramic views—one of the few heated pools in the region. The master bedroom features a custom in-ground concrete spa integrated into its private deck, where you can roll from bed into your personal hot tub.

A detached 280-square-foot casita with its own deck overlooks the workout space and adjacent yard, perfect for yoga, meditation, or use as a private studio or office.

Technology & Comfort

Whole-home smart automation controls lights, fans, pool pumps, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, garage doors, gates, window screens, and blinds—all managed through hidden ceiling-mounted Alexa units. A centralized audio system with in-ceiling and in-wall speakers creates customizable zones throughout the property.

Every piece of furniture has been carefully selected, featuring locally sourced hardwood pieces alongside high-end imported items. Professional landscaping maintained by an automated underground sprinkler system frames the property, while “invisible” underground power lines preserve unobstructed views.

Endless Potential

The property includes a freshwater quebrada flowing three seasons annually, with ample space to develop walking trails, a private treehouse, suspension bridge, garden yoga studio, or whatever your imagination conjures. With total privacy on all sides and a theater-like setting overlooking the Pacific, this is more than a home—it’s a private retreat engineered for those who refuse to compromise.

Welcome to where cutting-edge sustainability, advanced technology, and uncompromising luxury converge in perfect harmony with nature.
