Glass House

Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica

Description

Perched on top of a hill next to a Scarlet Macaw reserve is a house that looks like it is straight out of the old MTV show Cribs or a James Bond movie. This 3 bedroom 5 bathroom masterpiece was designed by famed Costa Rican architect Andres Morales and boasts its own helipad for convenient access. As you disembark your helicopter do not be surprised if there are Scarlet Macaws to greet you from the neighboring reserve which acts as a release area for these incredibly colorful and charismatic birds. You will be immediately struck by the size and panorama of the view of the lush green mountains and the mighty Pacific Ocean. The house is as equally impressive as the view. Located 20-25 minutes from downtown Quepos and the world class Marina Pez Vela on almost 7 acres (31,400m2) of verdant land planted with fruit trees and other tropical flora to encourage wildlife visits, the Glass House, is a modern marvel seamlessly blended into the tropical Costa Rican countryside. The home itself is large and spacious ready to entertain a high end corporate function, have a luxurious family gathering or be used as a top shelf retreat location. As you enter the house, a large marble staircase takes you up to the over the top master bedroom with two individual bathrooms, an immense two headed shower and a Jacuzzi tub which backs up to the oversized king bed. Back down the marble staircase to the main living area and kitchen. The house is fully appointed with high end fixtures, built in sound system, top notch lighting and quality appliances. The second bedroom also enjoys two ensuite bathrooms, a wet bar and ample closet space. The third bedroom also features an ensuite bathroom and has an immense mountain view. The outdoor area is complete with a large infinity edge pool that wraps its way around the outdoor entertaining area. This property also comes with a 2 bedroom guesthouse as well as plenty of property to insure future privacy. This is a house that must be seen to be believed.
