The Architecture
An extraordinary ocean-view retreat nestled within the hills of Santiago above Playa Hermosa, Santa Teresa. Thoughtfully designed by architect Salvador Schenone, this home captures the essence of Costa Rican living: peace, natural beauty, effortless indoor-outdoor flow, and the freedom to truly inhabit your surroundings.
Arrival creates an unforgettable first impression as a monumental sliding wood entry panel opens to reveal an uninterrupted axis, drawing the eye across the open living space to the terrace, pool, lush canopy, and Pacific Ocean beyond. Polished concrete floors, warm natural wood, clean lines, and thoughtful craftsmanship give the home a refined, organic elegance.
Designed specifically for modern tropical living, expansive glass doors and screened openings invite cooling ocean breezes to flow naturally throughout. While air conditioning is provided in the bedrooms, passive cross-ventilation keeps the main living spaces remarkably comfortable day and night.
At the heart of the residence lies a spectacular covered patio, overlooking mature gardens teeming with tropical wildlife. A separate covered rancho and bar create a dedicated setting for evening gatherings, outdoor dining, yoga, or quiet work, complemented by a green lawn and a private trail descending to a seasonal creek.
One Hermosa Lane feels wonderfully removed from coastal energy, yet sits just minutes from celebrated Playa Hermosa’s surf and sunsets. Set on 5,434 square meters, this fully furnished two-bedroom home with two ensuite bathrooms offers an exceptional private sanctuary or proven luxury vacation rental.
