Casa Belmer: Luxury Oceanview Estate Steps from Dominical Beach

Wake up to whitewater waves, Pacific-coast mountains, and treetop canopies that stretch all the way to the islands of Manuel Antonio. Casa Belmer is a fully furnished, architect-designed estate inside the exclusive Las Olas gated community - and one of the only luxury homes on Costa Rica's South Pacific coast that puts you within walking distance of both world-class surf and the beach.

A home designed to seduce at every turn. Twin water features flank the double French-door entrance and guide you straight into the view: a 14-meter infinity pool aimed at Dominicalito Island, Dominical Bay, Caño Island, and Manuel Antonio. The open floor plan flows between 17-foot vaulted ceilings, 3-meter sliding doors, and 1,052 sq m of travertine flooring that erases the line between inside and out. Every bedroom - and every ensuite - frames the ocean.

Sunset rituals, year-round. Watch the sky reflect off the infinity pool from the sunken fire pit. Cook for a crowd in the chef's kitchen or on the 6-burner BBQ overlooking the Pacific. Pipe music through 8 Crestron stereo zones, or pull it back to one bedroom for a private retreat.

The Build. Designed by architects Martin Wells and Manuel Montaresi of FRENCH Costa Rica, built by Leif Berhardt of Ridgetop Construction, with smart-home integration by C4 Studios. Cantilever construction over a retention wall elevates the pool, fire pit, and living room high off the mountainside. A floating staircase wall finished in tumbled travertine and limestone, plus a custom double-door entry floating over a water-feature pool, define the arrival experience.

Footprint. Indoor 5,650 sq ft, covered 8,560 sq ft, total build 11,300 sq ft. The 185 sq m main living room features a 17 ft vaulted ceiling and a 3.6 m mural that conceals the TV. The 14 m × 4 m infinity lap pool is aimed at Manuel Antonio.

Chef's Kitchen. A 17 ft island with porcelain countertops and leather-finish black stone anchors the room, paired with a 5 ft Galley Workstation sink and double faucets. Appliances include a WOLF 48" double-oven gas range (6 burner, griddle, 2-burner wok grate) with matching WOLF extractor hood, a SUB-ZERO 36" paneled refrigerator and 36" paneled freezer, a Bosch 800 Series paneled dishwasher, and a garburator. An air-conditioned prep pantry adds a Larkspur white Carrera marble island, second sink, Bosch 100 Series dishwasher, and dry-goods and appliance storage.

Bedrooms & Baths. Three master ensuites, each with a 5-piece bath (double vanities, rain shower, soaking tub, private toilet cabinet), walk-in closet, vaulted ceiling, and 3 m retractable sliders to private terraces. The master bath features an oversized travertine shower with sliding doors and whitewater views toward Manuel Antonio, plus premium faucets and shower heads. The lower bedroom includes a granite soaking tub with private garden access. Two powder rooms (main and garden) and an exterior waterfall shower complete the layout.

Smart Home & Systems. A Crestron smart-home platform delivers fully customizable lighting and audio from phone, tablet, or wall panel, with 8 stereo zones across bedrooms, baths, gardens, and living/kitchen. The house is pre-wired for curtain control, A/C control, and future add-ons, and protected by a battery-backed UPS with smart load shedding.

Site & Utilities. North American-designed lighting and hardware throughout. High-capacity water filtration (sediment, charcoal, UV) and a 5,000 L cistern with submersible pump. Automatic garden irrigation. AJAX wireless alarm system with autonomous battery, event-triggered photos, and SIM card. Two-car garage. Professionally designed mature gardens with 10-year-old bromelia and mature palms, finished with smart-controlled uplighting.

Fully Furnished - Curated Worldwide. Sold turnkey, with pieces sourced for a relaxed, sophisticated tropical feel: IKSEL decorative wallpaper from France, oversized cushions from Turkey, light fixtures from Morocco, Bali, and Canada, king bed frames and a rock-carved bathtub from Bali, fish-scale tiles from Spain, an antique desk from Belgium, a one-of-a-kind 8 ft tree-root dining table sourced locally, Sunbrella Design Collection upholstery, and linens from Canada and Spain.

The Location. Las Olas is one of the most coveted gated communities on Costa Rica's South Pacific coast - walking distance to Dominicalito beach, minutes from Dominical's surf breaks, and inside the corridor linking Manuel Antonio to the Osa Peninsula. This is where the rainforest meets the ocean.
