About this home
Imagine waking up to the sweetest birdsong and the soft sound of ocean waves every morning. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee or tea on the terrace or on your swinging daybed while butterflies flutter around you and a soft, cool breeze takes your worries away. Dip in your infinity pool to cool off from the hot sun, then mix up a cocktail or cook a healthy meal or a pizza on your personalized barbecue while the sunset lights the sky ablaze with oranges, reds, and purples 365 days of the year. Feel inner peace as you enjoy the fruits of your hard work. You have finally found your home. Welcome to Casa Karuna - the home of love, kindness, and compassion. Perched gracefully in the emerald hills above Ojochal, this remarkable contemporary estate captures the very essence of refined Costa Rican living. Just twenty minutes from the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, the residence offers an extraordinary convergence of absolute privacy, sweeping ocean panoramas, and golden sunsets that unfold each evening like a living work of art across the Southern Zone coastline. Set within one of the most biologically rich regions of the country, the estate is surrounded by vibrant tropical forest where scarlet macaws glide overhead, and toucans call from the treetops. The approach to the property is discreet and serene, winding through lush greenery before revealing an architectural masterpiece that feels both grounded in nature and boldly modern. The home was thoughtfully designed in accordance with Vastu, the ancient Indian system of architectural harmony often compared to Feng Shui. Orientation and spatial planning were carefully considered to cultivate a sense of balance, calm, and natural energy flow throughout the residence. The structure faces east to west, while the placement of the kitchen, bathrooms, and even the bed orientations in the suites were intentionally designed toward the southwest to create grounding and stability within the home. Notably, no water closets are positioned on the eastern side of the residence, preserving the purity of morning light and energy. The main entrance opens directly toward the ocean, allowing energy to flow naturally toward the moving water of the Pacific, a symbolic and intentional design choice rooted in Vastu philosophy. This attention to energetic harmony is immediately felt upon entering the home, creating the serene atmosphere that so many visitors describe as the property\'s extraordinary “energy.” One of the most special features of the residence is the dedicated meditation room, designed as a sanctuary for mindfulness and reflection. Open windows face east, welcoming the first rays of the morning sun and the gentle mountain breeze, allowing light and air to purify the space and set a peaceful rhythm for the day. Architecturally, the home embraces a sober minimalist design language defined by clean lines, open volumes, and an intentional simplicity that elevates every detail. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior spaces, inviting tropical light into the living areas while framing uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean and the layered mountains beyond. Natural cross breezes flow effortlessly through the residence, creating an atmosphere of comfort and harmony with the surrounding landscape. The home features three expansive bedroom suites, each conceived as a private sanctuary with spa inspired bathrooms and tranquil jungle or ocean views. Materials throughout the residence reflect the textures of Costa Rica itself, including natural stone, warm woods, and refined finishes that balance contemporary sophistication with organic warmth. The main living space flows seamlessly to the outdoor terrace, where an infinity-edge pool appears to merge with the horizon. From this elevated vantage point, the coastline stretches endlessly while the sky ignites in dramatic tones of amber, rose, and violet as the sun sets over the Pacific. It is a setting equally suited to elegant entertaining and quiet evenings immersed in nature. Two covered parking spaces provide convenience, while solar panels highlight the property’s commitment to sustainability, aligning with Costa Rica’s global leadership in renewable energy and environmentally conscious living. Located near the pristine beaches of the Southern Pacific and the celebrated culinary scene that has transformed Ojochal into one of Costa Rica’s hidden gastronomic destinations, the estate offers a lifestyle defined by balance. Ocean and mountains. Privacy and accessibility. Luxury and simplicity. For the discerning buyer seeking both an exceptional lifestyle residence and a long term investment in one of Costa Rica’s most captivating enclaves, this property represents a rare opportunity. More than a home, it is a sanctuary of design, nature, and intentional living, set above one of Central America\'s most beautiful coastlines....
