Location: Manuel Antonio, Puntarenas, Costa Rica
Set high above the Pacific coastline within the exclusive gated community of Manuel Antonio Estates, this exceptional 2.57 acre homesite offers a rare opportunity to create a private luxury retreat in one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after destinations.
Positioned on an expansive hilltop with easy vehicle access directly to the building site, the property features a generous building pad ideal for designing a custom estate with breathtaking dual vistas of both the ocean and surrounding mountains. The oversized parcel — nearly twice the size of many neighboring homesites — provides the flexibility to create either a sprawling single-level residence or an impressive multi-level architectural masterpiece, all while preserving privacy and maximizing the panoramic scenery.
Beyond the beauty of the land itself, the property benefits from excellent infrastructure, including fully paved concrete access roads and underground utilities. Surrounding luxury residences within the community range from approximately $1.9M to over $3M, further reinforcing the value and prestige of this prime location.
Residents of Manuel Antonio Estates enjoy a grand gated entrance with fountains, 24/7 security, and a serene tropical environment woven together by winding internal roads. The community is known for its lush natural setting filled with mature rainforest, bamboo groves, creeks, and extraordinary wildlife. Monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, and sloths are frequent visitors, creating an atmosphere often compared to the nearby Manuel Antonio National Park.
Despite the peaceful and private setting, the property is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Quepos, the world-renowned Marina Pez Vela, grocery stores, fine dining, cafés, nightlife, medical services, and the region’s famous beaches. Few properties offer this combination of tranquility, accessibility, and proximity to everyday conveniences.
