The Jade House is an extraordinary resort style home nestled on a hillside overlooking the South Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.
It is located in beautiful Escaleras, between Dominical and Uvita, where the mountains meet the ocean in truly dramatic fashion. At an elevation of 900 feet, it receives constant breezes and has amazing unobstructed views of the ocean and coastline.
This all new 9100 square foot contemporary home has 5 air-conditioned bedrooms and 6 1/2 baths. Enter through the magnificent steel & glass doors to reveal soaring 40ft wood ceilings and stone floors. The living, dining, and kitchen areas are laid out in an open floor plan and flow into a covered outdoor living area via a folding wall system. A three level infinity pool wraps around the outdoor living area and includes a covered kid pool and swim up bar to create an oasis of family living & entertaining.
A fully equipped professional kitchen provides all that is necessary to entertain large groups. The main floor master suite walls fold back to a private patio and pool. All suites have private bathrooms, double shower heads, sun deck access, and ocean views. A separate office doubles as a 5th bedroom. Gently push the bookshelf outside the office to reveal hidden access to the 900 square foot cinema room. Engineered to perfection, the home has a state of the art intelligent lighting system, and integrated I-pod docking stations.
This handcrafted custom home has a luxurious, tropical feel. Completed in 2010, it was traditionally constructed on a grand scale with quality materials and attention to detail. Undoubtedly the most exciting opportunity in the Southern Zone!
