'Architectural Marvel' in Southern Costa Rica is a Family-Friendly Compound with Views

Daveed Hollander of Coldwell Banker Vesta Group Dominical has listed the majestic Château Montage, a contemporary mountaintop masterpiece just south of San Jose, Costa Rica. Surrounded by manicured, bird- and butterfly-friendly tropical landscaping and panoramic coastline and mountain views, the gracious compound of more than four acres is designed for a lifestyle of luxurious privacy and lavish indoor-outdoor entertaining.

Awash with natural light, wraparound floor-to-ceiling glass with automated window blinds, clerestory windows, vaulted ceilings, vanishing walls and expansive decks, the residence blends the finest materials, custom fixtures and an open floor plan to create grand pavilions for dining, lounging and recreation. In addition to the main house, the property includes a separate guest house with a full kitchen, living room, dual bedroom suites and a private pool, as well as an additional one-bedroom guest/caretaker’s suite, with a kitchen and laundry, above the four-car garage.

From the circular motorcourt entry and porte-cochère to the private orchard and incomparable views, Château Montage is conceived and constructed with every comfort and luxury in mind. The vast grounds include three blue-tile pools and a water feature at the main house, including a 20-meter lap pool with a swim-up bar; an outdoor kitchen and dining pavilion; an energy-rich solar array; wraparound view terraces, sun decks, sitting areas and a rooftop lounge with a wet bar and entertainment center.

The home’s interior is as impressive as the views, with Italian porcelain tile flooring, Fleetwood™ motorized doors, a graceful, glass-railed spiral staircase, and a full complement of integrated smart-home features, including air conditioning, sound system and security. With walls open to pools, decks and terraces, the living, dining and kitchen spaces create a vast great room for effortless living and truly memorable entertaining. The beautiful kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and conveniences as well as a butler’s kitchen and walk-in pantry.

On the upper floor, there is a large central lounge with a wet bar, plus two extraordinary bedroom suites. The primary suite features a spacious office with a private garden and magnificent views; a vast bedrom with a built-in entertainment center and a terrace with a private plunge pool; a luxurious spa-style bath with waterfall view; and a fully customized walk-in closet plus a safe room and vault.

Beyond the lavish expanse of Château Montage itself, the Costa Verde gated community provides an abundance of amenities, including tennis courts, fitness facilities, clubhouse, parks, trails and a helipad.
