RE/MAX is proud to present this exclusive opportunity to own KASALU Estate, one of Santa Teresa’s most exceptional and iconic luxury properties. Set on a total of more than 3,000 m² of super-prime land in North Santa Teresa, the estate offers a unique combination of panoramic ocean views and walking distance to one of Santa Teresa’s most beautiful and private beaches — the two most sought-after features in the area, rarely found together in a single property.

With more than 600m2 of indoor living space, the property has a total of 9 luxurious bedrooms and 6 ½ spectacular bathrooms across multiple structures and elevation levels, connected through terraces, outdoor social areas and paths or stairs, where each structure has been thoughtfully positioned to maximize views, privacy and functionality, creating a versatile compound suitable for private use, yet also with very high rental-income potential.

Originally conceived and designed by a French-American family as their primary residence and to host their international friends and family, the property reflects a unique blend of European flair and local architecture, resulting in a home that is highly refined, yet cozy and welcoming, with much attention to detail and liberal use of natural stone throughout. Beyond the spectacular, black-marble tiled, sunset-facing, wrap-around saltwater infinity pool, there are multiple jacuzzis, plunge pools and terraces on three elevation levels as well as outdoor social and al-fresco dining areas, individually decorated bedrooms and suites, a curated fine art collection, locally custom-made and Restoration Hardware NYC furnishings and high-end appliances throughout, a poker room, and even a Steinway grand piano as part of a fully equipped live music space.

Set into complete privacy surrounded by nature at a slightly elevated position, the property exudes the character of a private luxury retreat whose peaceful environment is frequently visited by Costa Rica’s indigenous wildlife of birds, armadillos, hummingbirds, butterflies, as well as howler and whiteface monkeys. Yet, it remains only a short walk (approximately 2 minutes) down a jungle path to one of the most beautiful and private beaches in the area – which in turn is a mere 6-minute walk to one of the best surfbreaks in the country.
