Description
CASA INFINITO
Perched high on a ridge overlooking Hermosa Beach, Jaco, nestled within a private hidden valley and natural wildlife corridor, "Casa Infinito" is the perfect luxury tropical residence or vacation rental destination for families, multiple couples, group retreats and receptions.
Absorb the panoramic ocean and mountain vistas, the lulling sound of the pacific surf and intimate jungle views from the many decks, or right from your bedroom each morning. In the evening, enjoy the constant cooling mountain breezes as they keep you comfortable and free of the night bugs from the beach.
At the same time, it is only 4 minutes' drive from the world class surfing beach of Hermosa (that is often as quiet as a private beach) and another 5 minutes to the attractive beach town of Jaco offering all the North American style amenities you could want - "Casa Infinito" has it all.
The home is located just over an hour from San Jose's International Airport on a new highway. This is the fastest access from San Jose to the ocean of any location in Costa Rica. Exceptional, all-season, two-wheel drive, fully-paved and maintained access road into the property.
The lot is 5000.40 sq.m (1.24 acres) within a hidden valley (Valle Perdido) of primary wildlife jungle. 360 degree panoramic views (ocean to the front, mountains behind). The slope of the terrain ensures that views will never be obstructed by construction of other properties. Some of the resident wildlife includes a troupe of White-faced Monkeys literally knocking on the windows, Toucans, Scarlet Macaws, Birds of Prey, Iguanas, Geckos & so much more, every day.
"Casa Infinito" was designed by award-winning architect Andres Serpa as a completely unique 4,500 sq. ft, 3-level, ultimate modern luxury villa with 5 bedrooms/3 full baths (2 with double sinks) and the expansive (40ft) "Infinity Pool" from which the property takes its name. The pool includes stunning, multi-color LED lights (including optional disco-type programs).
