The Guest House

Turn the key to the sumptuous Casa Tanglewood and revel in the finest tropical dream brought to life. Every possible whim and preference have been anticipated in this fully appointed, custom-designed and utterly unique 2¼ (9161.8 m²) luxury estate with stunning ocean and canyon views in the tightly knit and culturally integrated community of Lagunas de Barú on Costa Rica's south Pacific coast, just ten short minutes from Dominical.

Awake in the soothing, earth-toned master suite of the 13-room, 3200-sq-ft., 3-bedroom, 3-bath main house to sunlight pouting in through the glassed balcony doors. Wander into the airy kitchen blessed by ample natural light and outfitted with the most recent, state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, wine cooler, and glass-fronted cabinets, with new granite countertops throughout.

Cooling breezes greet you as you take your coffee in the private courtyard just off the kitchen, or stroll along the extended terraces to watch the morning mist rise over the lowland canopy. The front of the house overlooks a deep canyon framed by several large mountains, while the back leisure and entertainment zone, which includes a distinctive poolside rancho dining area with seating for eight, offers an expansive view of the coast stretching to the northern horizon. Should the fancy take you, a quick climb to the rooftop deck affords spectacular 360-degree views of the south Pacific zone's lush enthralling scenery by day, and unimpeded, wonder inspiring stargazing by night.

From the foyer through the gallery and all living areas, Casa Tanglewood's furnishings were selected to complement the home's southwestern theme, and include several antiques. All flooring is a high-gloss Mexican saltillo-style tile with decorative borders. Each bath features distinctive tiles and natural stone finishes. Recessed lighting with dimmer switches allow you to control the mood, as does the built-in sound system that features speakers in the living room, dining room, master bedroom, and poolside rancho. Practical matters are attended to in the laundry and mudroom, and the main house's 2-car garage.

One of the greatest pleasures of owning such a standout property in the world-class recreational and ecological zone is sharing it with those whom we love and enjoy. The main house at Casa Tanglewood includes a guest suite with balcony, private sundeck, and seating area tiled in California gold slate.

Further accommodation is offered by an 1100-square-foot, 2-bedroom, 1½-bath guesthouse located in a secluded section of the grounds, surrounded by tress and landscaping with an ocean view. The first floor is an open space with entertainment area, while the second floor includes the kitchen, covered deck, master bedroom, sitting area, and full bath.

Much of the Casa Tanglewood grounds are covered with dense, tropical forests that are home to a remarkable variety of plant, animal and bird life. The intrepid explorer will find the clear-running stream that parallels the property's back border amidst the keep green rainforest foliage.

Not only does Lagunas de Barú exemplify the amicable and mutually enriching blending of national and international communities, it also boasts excellent infrastructure such a high quality and rigorously monitored community water system, community-managed road maintenance, high-speed internet access and satellite television.

This remarkable combination of spectacular location, superb design, exquisite comfort, and the most elemental and sophisticated of esthetics make Casa Tanglewood a sensory delight destined to exceed your every expectation.
