Pizza Oven & Pool Terrace Home in Dominical | 4 Bed

Set inside the gated Colinas Pacifica community above Platanillo, Casa Orquídea is the kind of Costa Rica real estate that rewards you every single morning — mountains, valley, and a slice of Pacific ocean stretching out past the garden. At roughly 1,400 feet of elevation, the climate stays comfortable year-round, and the end-of-road setting behind a handcrafted gated entrance means the only sounds are the ones you invite.

The main level opens into a bright, open-concept living room and kitchen, where glossy white cabinetry and generous quartz counters make cooking feel less like a chore and more like a hobby. A dedicated office sits just off the living room, which matters if you're running a business from abroad. The guest bedroom and bath tuck off the kitchen hallway, and a laundry room, pantry, and carport door keep the grocery run short.

The principal suite occupies the opposite wing — king-size bed, walk-through closet, bay windows framing the mountains and ocean, and a spa-scale bathroom with granite counters, a walk-in shower, two-person jacuzzi tub, and his-and-hers vanities.

The covered terrace is where this home really lives: BBQ grill, sink, pizza oven, circular outdoor sofa, and a professional pool table with custom lighting. Stairs lead down to the pool level, finished in a cool white deck that stays walkable on hot afternoons, with an outdoor shower, a third bedroom and full bath, and a flexible fourth room for guests, a gym, or movie nights. Beyond it: fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, meandering trails, and two fenced dog areas.

Dominical beach is 15 minutes away, San Isidro 30, with Platanillo's supermarkets, restaurants, and pharmacy just minutes down the road. Among Dominical property for sale and Costa Rica homes for sale generally, few places balance surf-town energy and mountain quiet this well. It's a long-standing expat community where relocation tends to feel less like a leap and more like a homecoming.
