3 Bed Mountain & Ocean View Home in Platanillo | 3 Bed / 3 Bath

Perched at 1,200 feet on nearly two acres at the end of Cocoa Ridge in Platanillo, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home delivers what most Costa Rica real estate only promises — unobstructed 360-degree views of both the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding mountain ridgeline. Step inside and the layout makes the panorama the centerpiece: the spacious kitchen, outfitted with modern stainless steel appliances, flows openly into the dining and living areas, all oriented to frame daily sunsets over the coastline. A cozy fireplace anchors the living space for cooler highland evenings, while the pool sits just steps from the main living area for warm afternoons spent taking in the Guabo River valley below. Three bedrooms offer comfortable space for a family or guests, with flexible floor plan potential to convert a fourth bedroom if needed. Three bathrooms — two full and one half — keep morning routines easy when the house is full. Outside, the 1.97-acre property gives you genuine privacy and room to breathe, surrounded by the lush green hillsides that draw people to this part of the Central Pacific zone. Platanillo sits just 15 minutes down a well-maintained gravel road to the main highway, and from there it's only another 10 minutes to the sand and surf of Playa Dominical — one of Costa Rica's most popular beach towns for expats and travelers alike. This is a home that works equally well as a full-time residence or a high-demand vacation rental. The elevation keeps temperatures comfortable year-round, the views are a guaranteed draw for guests, and the proximity to Dominical means you're never far from restaurants, shops, and the coast. For anyone exploring Costa Rica homes for sale with real income potential, this Platanillo property for sale checks every box. The Dominical-Uvita corridor along the Southern Pacific coast has become one of the most sought-after areas for North American relocation, thanks to its established expat community, reliable infrastructure, and access to world-class beaches and national parks like Marino Ballena. Platanillo offers a quieter, cooler alternative to the coastal towns while keeping everything within easy reach.
