Macaw Crest – First Oceanview Residence in an Exclusive Hillside Community

Perched in the lush, forested hills above Tárcoles, this exceptional newly constructed residence (2025) introduces a rare opportunity to experience Costa Rica’s natural beauty from a refined and private vantage point.

The home is the first completed residence within Macaw Crest, an exclusive new gated hillside community that will ultimately feature 26 additional homesites for luxury residences and townhomes, thoughtfully designed to blend modern living with the surrounding rainforest landscape.

Located just uphill via a fully paved road from the new and upscale Santa Lucia Jungle Hacienda, Autograph Collection by Marriott, and minutes from some of Costa Rica’s most celebrated natural attractions—including Carara National Park and the dramatic Bijagual Waterfall trails—this hillside sanctuary offers a rare balance of untouched nature, privacy, and modern luxury.

Within the secure gated community, residents enjoy controlled access, peaceful surroundings, and the comfort of a thoughtfully planned residential enclave while remaining close to the vibrant Central Pacific lifestyle.

Despite its serene jungle setting, the property offers exceptional accessibility. The home is located approximately 70 minutes from Juan Santamaría International Airport, providing convenient international access for homeowners and guests. The lively beach town of Jacó—known for its renowned restaurants, beach clubs, and nightlife—is just a 30-minute drive south, offering an ideal blend of secluded luxury and vibrant coastal living.

Several other dining destinations and points of interest are even closer, including the beautiful white-sand shores of Playa Blanca in nearby Punta Leona.

Sophisticated Design in Harmony with Nature

This gorgeous home offers 3,500 square feet (325 m²) of sophisticated living space set on a generous 16,608 square foot (1,543 m²) homesite, surrounded by tropical forest, sweeping mountain landscapes, and expansive Pacific Ocean views—complete with unforgettable sunset panoramas.

The home’s contemporary architecture blends effortlessly with its surroundings. A striking white façade, expansive glass walls, and clean architectural lines create an elegant yet relaxed aesthetic that celebrates light, space, and the surrounding natural environment.

Inside, open-concept living areas are framed by floor-to-ceiling glass doors that dissolve the boundary between indoors and outdoors. The main living space is filled with natural light and flows seamlessly onto a private terrace overlooking the forest canopy, while a secondary lounge offers dramatic panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean.

At the heart of the home, a spacious kitchen features a large island with built-in range, sleek white stone countertops, warm custom wood cabinetry, and premium stainless-steel appliances. Large windows frame the surrounding jungle greenery, creating a culinary space that feels both modern and deeply connected to nature.

Private Retreat Living

Each of the three spacious bedrooms is designed as a tranquil retreat, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening onto private terraces. From here, residents can enjoy mountain vistas, ocean horizons, and the vibrant sounds of the rainforest.

The three contemporary bathrooms feature elegant wood vanities, bright stone finishes, and large windows that bring in natural light while showcasing lush tropical surroundings.

The home’s multi-level design extends outdoors to expansive tiled decks and terraced landscaping—perfect for sunset gatherings, morning coffee accompanied by tropical birds, or quiet moments immersed in nature.

For buyers wishing to elevate the outdoor living experience even further, a custom cantilevered pool can be added for an additional $75,000, creating a spectacular private oasis suspended above the forest canopy.

Investment & Ownership Opportunity

This newly completed residence represents a unique early opportunity to own within Macaw Crest before the community is fully developed, allowing buyers to secure property in what is poised to become one of the region’s most desirable boutique residential enclaves.
