A dazzling villa in a
splendorous setting
C
osta Rica enjoys a privileged spot at the top
of just about any list of destinations for retirement or second homes. With its modest cost of
living, excellent healthcare, advanced telecommunications system, spectacular beaches, lush rainforests that teem with exotic wildlife, what locale
anywhere on the planet could be more perfect?
It is a land of stunning volcanoes, beautiful
valleys and cool mountainsides, crystal-clear
lakes, rivers, streams and waterfalls. The sunrises
mesmerise, the sunsets enchant. And then there
are those star-filled nighttime skies, unsullied by
light pollution.
But Costa Rica is more than the out of doors. It is
theatres, art galleries and fine dining, plus great
shopping. Just a 2½-hour flight from Miami and
Houston and five hours from Denver, New York
and Los Angeles, Costa Rica is close, and yet a
world away.
With a stable economy, a history of democracy
and a peaceful society that does not even have a
military, Costa Rica has earned the title of Central
America’s Switzerland.
There have been recent indications that the
country’s property market is on the rise, with
the luxury end of the market and the demand
for unique properties making it one of the most
attractive locales for those discerning buyers of
international luxury real estate.
In a class by itself and a spectacular achievement
in design, this extraordinary property ticks all
the boxes.
