Unparalleled Craftsmanship in Costa Rica
Residing on a private 5-acre estate, the recently built Casa Big Sur is a tropical Balinese masterpiece. Nestled at 1,000 feet and tucked into the mountainside, this 6,700 sq. ft. home offers unparalleled views of Costa Rica's dramatic South Pacific Coastline which are dotted with islands and headlands as far as the eye can see.
In addition to the sustainable green features added to the building site and grounds, the builders of Casa Big Sur incorporated several key features into the architecture and interior design to help offset impact to the environment. These features were added to help conserve energy, minimize waste water, create a healthier indoor living experience and to lower the impact to the environment with locally produced materials.
Costa Ballena is famed for its panoramic ocean views, dazzling sunsets, and pristine primary rainforest teaming with some of the most diverse flora and wildlife found anywhere in the world. The well groomed walking trails and secluded rancho tie in with beautiful landscaping to create a nature corridor and virtual amphitheater where inspiring eco-adventures can be one with nature while enjoying all the luxurious amenities' Casa Big Sur has to offer.
These sustainable architectural features were first achieved by the proper site orientation of Casa Big Sur into the existing landform to not only allow for breathtaking panoramic views but to capture the cool air coming down the mountain at night and the daily light breezes coming up off the ocean during the day. By opening the fully retractable wood and glass windows and doors, the house opens itself up to allow for this naturally cooling fresh air while helping to create a seamless transition of indoor and outdoor living spaces to make the beautiful interior spaces and the lush landscaped grounds feel as one.
