About this property

Casa Holmes, known locally as "The Glass House," is situated dramatically above the coastal town of Playas del Coco. This iconic residence showcases award-winning architecture that harmonizes with the natural beauty of Costa Rica's landscape. The home is recognized internationally for its design excellence, as it is sculpted into the land, anchored by a significant natural rock formation that flows through the structure, offering a unique living experience. Designed by a renowned landscape architect, Casa Holmes exemplifies site-responsive modernism. Expansive glass walls and sliding panels provide panoramic views of Playas del Coco Bay and the surrounding forest. The integration of a striking natural rock formation into the home’s core structure, along with floating rooflines and exposed concrete elements, creates an atmosphere of lightness and openness. The design facilitates seamless transitions between interior living spaces and outdoor terraces, fostering a constant dialogue between the ocean, jungle, and architecture. The layout of the home is both sophisticated and flexible, offering luxury living alongside income potential. The main level features a private primary suite accessed via a dramatic bridge over a tranquil water feature, an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining areas, as well as two additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The lower level includes two independent guest suites with private entrances, making it ideal for vacation rental income, extended family, or guest privacy. This configuration allows Casa Holmes to serve as a private residence, luxury retreat, or high-end rental property.
