Luxury Oceanview Estate in San Juanillo
Dolce Far Niente is a rare architectural estate set within the private Finca Los Sueños Biological Community Nature Reserve on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula. Positioned on 2.1 acres and surrounded by protected tropical landscape, the residence captures expansive white-water Pacific Ocean views from the home, terraces and infinity-edge lap pool, creating a private retreat between San Juanillo and Ostional.
Designed as a sophisticated single-level residence, the home blends contemporary tropical architecture with durable, low-maintenance materials including concrete, steel, local Laja stone, Spanish tile and large-format Italian finishes. Floor-to-ceiling glass, screened openings and multiple covered patios create seamless indoor-outdoor living while maximizing natural light, cross-ventilation and the dramatic coastal setting.
The residence offers three private bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom and covered patio. Bedrooms 1 and 2 include built-in workspaces and wardrobes, making the property equally suited to full-time living, extended stays or remote work. The open living and dining area connects to an imported Italian kitchen with waterfall-edge counters, premium appliances and a dining bar, while a dedicated laundry room and generous owner storage add practical convenience.
Outdoor living is a defining feature. The approximately 40-by-14-foot infinity-edge lap pool overlooks the Pacific, complemented by a large covered entertaining terrace, outdoor kitchenette, hot-and-cold outdoor shower, grilling area and landscaped grounds planted with native, flowering and fruit-bearing species. The 2.1-acre property also offers meaningful room for future use, subject to buyer verification of zoning and applicable Costa Rican regulations.
Dolce Far Niente is located inside a gated, approximately 300-acre biological community with maintained private roads, a regulated ASADA water system, multiple community wells and a strong nature-reserve setting. The home further benefits from a private 675-gallon water reserve tank, whole-home water softening, Starlink-supported high-speed connectivity, four air-conditioning units, extensive security systems and a step-free design planned for long-term comfort and multigenerational use.
The property has also achieved international architectural recognition, including publication in Cien Casas – One Hundred Latin American Houses and features on established architecture platforms. For a buyer interested in continuing its hospitality use, the seller is prepared, subject to agreement and applicable legal requirements, to facilitate the transfer of selected brand, digital, operational and guest-goodwill assets associated with Dolce Far Niente.
This is more than an ocean-view home: it is a private architectural retreat, a recognized design property and a potential turnkey lifestyle investment in one of Guanacaste’s most distinctive natural settings.
