Modern, minimalist ocean front Villa for sale in Costa Rica

This modern, minimalist ocean front property for sale in Costa Rica was awarded Best Architectural project by the College of Architects of Costa Rica in 2010. The house also won the Interior Design Award 2010 organised by Su Casa which is the leading design magazine in Costa Rica. The modern Costa Rica property is located in a beautiful ocean front setting next to Los Suenos. There is a beautiful marina, sport fishing charters, restaurants and not least La Iguana golf course , a championship course which is nestled alongside the exotic rainforest and with breathtaking views of the ocean.

As soon as you arrive at this modern Costa Rica property, designed by renowned minimalist architect Victor Canas, it is clear that this is a home like no other. Stand-out features include the second floor swimming pool and water mirror which laps up to the glass of the master bedroom and living room, to the amazing ocean and jungle views.

The first thing you notice when entering the villa is the almost invisible staircase built entirely of glass which seems to float. Before going up the stairs, there is a media room with a large flat screen TV and spacious lounging area.

The huge gourmet kitchen flows into the dining room with a table for twelve guests, and continues into the living room. The kitchen is fitted with all the major modern appliances, including a built-in espresso maker and wine fridge and hotel style ice-maker.

The living area leads out to the private swimming pool and surrounding deck through large glass doors. The spacious master bedroom feature a huge wall of closets to hide everything away. There is even a bath tub surrounded by glass (and privacy screens) in which you can soak and gaze at the ocean.

There are 2 more bedrooms on the 2nd floor, both with en-suite bathrooms and on the 1st floor are 3 additional guest rooms.

There is an independent apartment with a fully equipped kitchen, sitting area and a large bathroom across from the house.

All in all, there are 5 flat screen TVs — and you do not even have to get out of the pool to watch two of them. An 'intelligent' system controls the music throughout the house via Ipods, laptops or via one of the three touch screens located upstairs. The blackout shades and privacy screens are on motors.

The modern contemporary Costa Rica property for sale is located inside a gated community which offers its residents twenty-four hour security. Within the gated community there are 2 tennis courts, a basketball court, 3 swimming pools, a BBQ, clubhouse and a private beach. The entire property is a lush tropical rain forest located 1 hour from the International airport in San Jose.
