Elevation

Completed in 2025 at 1,300 feet on the Escaleras ridge — block, steel, stone, and glass. 13,000 square feet of living space (15,000 including terraces and covered areas) on 1.36 acres, which tells you this is a house built vertically into the slope rather than spread across land. The elevation is the point: year-round breezes and roughly nine months of sunsets in the sightline.

The Entrance

A custom pivoting steel door opens onto a pond water feature, then a floating staircase up into the main level. Entire walls of custom minimalist glass retract, so the living space, the deck, the infinity-edge saltwater pool, and the Pacific read as one continuous plane.

Five Suites

Each bedroom is a full suite with its own five-piece bath, and each window frames both ocean and jungle. Spanish anti-slip tile throughout, electric shades, and an LED system that changes the whole character of the house after dark.

Wellness and Entertaining

A gym, cold plunge, steam room, and sauna. A lounge and bar with billiards. A 360-degree infinity pool and a ten-person jacuzzi finished in imported Indonesian stone. A sunken fire pit seating fifteen. The kitchen runs Invisacook induction with double stainless refrigerators.

How It Was Built

Furniture was custom made in Costa Rica and Bali, with fabrics chosen specifically for this climate — a detail that matters more here than buyers expect. The roof is standing-seam insulated steel. Gardens run inside as well as out, including a second-level atrium.

Worth Knowing

Water is on the local ASADA rather than a private well, which is the simpler of the two positions to be in — see the water, access and title guide for why that distinction matters here. Four garage bays and parking for eight, over two levels.
