About this property
Escaleras Luxury Estate features four villas for sale along the stunning Ballena Coastline. This unique property, known as Villas Alma Tierra Mar, embodies its name, 'the soul of the land and the sea,' from the moment you enter through the gate. Nestled high in the hills of Escaleras, between Dominical and Uvita, the estate offers expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and benefits from the refreshing trade winds that sweep in from the sea. The area is rich in biodiversity, with mornings filled with the sounds of tropical birds, midday visits from blue morpho butterflies in the gardens, and the evening calls of howler monkeys echoing through the trees. The estate comprises four meticulously designed villas: Villa Sol, Villa Cascada, Villa Olas, and Villa Selva, all strategically placed on the 2.47-acre lot to ensure privacy, ocean views, and a connection to the lush jungle surroundings. Each villa is finished with a sophisticated touch that complements the natural environment, featuring teak hardwood furnishings, hotel-quality mattresses, and a relaxed aesthetic that merges comfort with the elegance of tropical living. This property is well-suited for hosting discerning guests or accommodating family gatherings for generations. Currently operating as a boutique retreat, Villas Alma Tierra Mar offers various possibilities for its next chapter. It can continue as a boutique hospitality venue with established infrastructure and proven appeal, serve as a private family compound with four separate residences, function as a wellness retreat center leveraging the region's growing reputation as a wellness destination, or be developed further with additional cottages and amenities, subject to local zoning and approvals. The Ballena Coast is often likened to California's Big Sur for its dramatic landscape where mountains meet the sea, yet it offers the warmth and accessibility that make Costa Rica a highly sought-after lifestyle destination. The property is just minutes away from world-class surf breaks, the pristine beaches of Playa Dominical, Playa Hermosa, and Marino Ballena National Park, as well as a vibrant restaurant scene and numerous waterfall and rainforest trails. Daily necessities, international flights from San José, and the full amenities of Uvita and Dominical are all conveniently accessible. The South Pacific is one of the fastest-appreciating areas in Costa Rica, driven by a steady influx of international buyers and the maturation of the local market.
