A gated estate on 2.35 acres above Ballena, with two separate architect-designed residences. The collaboration behind it is photographer Mark Liddell and his team at Mark Liddell Design working with architect Martin Wells — the same pairing behind the neighboring Designer Home, and it shows in how deliberately both houses are sited.
Both villas are positioned for the same uninterrupted 180-degree view: the Osa Peninsula, Isla Ballena, Isla del Caño, the Whale's Tail, and La Viuda. This is the stretch of coast where the Marino Ballena sandbar draws its shape, and there are very few private vantage points that take in all of it at once.
Villa 1
287 square meters (3,089 sq ft). A primary suite, a compact modern living and dining area, and a kitchen built for entertaining. Private pool, open-air shower, separate laundry and storage, and a yoga deck set back into the planting.
Villa 2
401 square meters (4,316 sq ft). Two bedroom suites, a purpose-built office, and an open kitchen that runs into the indoor-outdoor living areas. Its own infinity-edge pool over the coast, plus a full pantry, laundry, and storage.
Systems
A private legal well concession — worth understanding as a buyer, because water rights are one of the real differentiators on this coast. Solar with battery storage for off-grid independence, and whole-house filtration delivering purified water throughout.
Furnishings
Both villas sell fully furnished with designer pieces sourced individually from around the world. The adjacent property, Designer Home Uvita, is also available — buying both would assemble a compound with no real equivalent on this coast.
Additional interior photography and a video tour are available on request. Reach out and I'll arrange a showing.
