among the verdant hills of Peninsula Papagayo’s poetic setting, a limited collection of custom estate sites offers the ultimate owner indulgence: the opportunity to create one’s coastal dream home, Costa Rican style. A range of settings rouse the imagination. Spellbinding views of ancient forests and tumbling seas unfold in literally every direction. Each room unveils a window into another world. From here, the rest of civilization happily slips from sight…and from mind.

Averaging approximately one acre, each generously-sized custom estate site is artfully orchestrated to capture the subtle nuances of its native setting. Multiple estates can be combined for an even more imaginative personal haven.

A thick forest of Guanacaste trees creates a seclusive sanctuary filled with surprises. This is a place to delve into a different universe…to dwell among a dazzling parade of exotic butterflies, birds and monkeys. Imagine expansive outdoor decks that beg for entertaining under a blanket of stars. A dip in an infinity-edge pool that brings the illusion of peacefully floating over the canopies. Sublime indoor/outdoor living spaces enveloped by commanding ocean vistas. A chance to retreat to an enchanted hideaway beneath the trees. And speak of amazing things.

The new beachfront niche of 13 Playa Prieta adds to the allure with 13 estate lots perched along the sands of one of Papagayo's prized beaches.

Though anyone who sets foot on this majestic land would consider himself fortunate, the few who call these shores home are the real chosen ones.
