Residence for sale, Atenas VBE45937

Live or rent out this NEW and successful turnkey, furnished, fully equipped modern gem near San Juanillo and Ostional beaches of Guanacaste, and Nosara Airport. Dolce Far Niente located in one of the world’s 5 rare Blue Zones regions, celebrated for wellness, longevity, and a life lived close to nature.

Featured in leading international architectural publications and recognized across global design platforms, Dolce Far Niente is more than a private residence. It is a published architectural estate, a proven luxury rental destination, and a turnkey brand-continuity opportunity with established digital assets, guest goodwill, rental channels, and exceptional market identity already in place.

Set on 2.1 private acres, the home is located within the gated Finca Los Sueños Biological Community Nature Reserve, a 300-acre protected natural setting between the white-sand fishing village of San Juanillo and the sea turtle nesting beaches of Ostional.

From above, the setting tells the story: privacy, space, jungle, ocean, and sky. The residence is positioned just inside the reserve, surrounded by native tropical landscaping, flowering trees, fruit trees, and habitat that attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, dragonflies, and the sounds of Costa Rican wildlife.

Designed as a single-story luxury accessible retreat, Dolce Far Niente blends clean contemporary architecture with effortless indoor-outdoor living. Expansive glass, shaded patios, natural airflow, and wide-open living areas connect the home directly to its landscape.

The heart of the property is the white-water Pacific Ocean view, enjoyed from the main living spaces, outdoor dining areas, and the infinity-edge lap pool. The pool terrace is made for slow mornings, sunset gatherings, quiet afternoons, and unforgettable evenings under the stars.

Inside, the home offers three private bedroom suites with en-suite bathrooms and private patio retreats, modern finishes, a refined Italian kitchen, dedicated workspaces, high-speed satellite internet, and thoughtful comfort systems designed for both private living and luxury guest stays.

Every arrival is private and controlled, with gated community access, a private entry gate, generous parking, step-free circulation, and a rare single-level design suited for long-term comfort and multigenerational use.

Beyond the residence itself, the land offers room to grow — with space for future lifestyle additions such as a casita, garden, yoga platform, or recreational court.

Dolce Far Niente is more than a home. It is architecture, privacy, nature, ocean view, and an established luxury rental brand — a rare opportunity to own both a destination and a platform for continued success in one of Guanacaste’s most extraordinary natural settings.

Dolce Far Niente — the sweetness of doing nothing, surrounded by everything.

A 27-page Welcome Package in Spanish, French & English is provided at booking featuring 200 local recommendations & resources covering transportation, concierge services, local adventures, and in-home services available to renters.

• Located inside the gated, 300-acre private Finca Los Sueños Biological Community Nature Reserve, approximately 400 meters from Route 160 near Hotel Luna Azul, between San Juanillo and Ostional.
• Set on a private peninsula framed by the Pacific Ocean and the Río Rosario river basin, the home sits on Costa Rica’s Gold Coast in Guanacaste Province on the Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world’s five Blue Zones.

2. Reserve / Ownership / Land Context

• Owned by the Costa Rican company Gran Rojo de San Juanillo.
• The property includes a transferable interest associated with the Nature Reserve’s exclusive 90+ acre protected portion, part of the 300-acre private ecological nature reserve established with the shared intention of protecting the area. The reserve is comprised of approximately 55 residential lots and 16 commercial lots.

3. Water / Utilities / Community Infrastructure

• Finca Los Sueños is served by the highly awarded Blue Flag of Excellence for its highest water quality, recognized by AYA ( Instituto Costarricense de Acueductos y Alcantarillados ) and managed by our own government-regulated ASADA water association with a stellar record over multiple decades of operation.
• The community has three on-site wells, with Dolce Far Niente benefiting from redundancies during maintenance or repair.
• The home has a private 675-gallon in-ground water reserve tank that provides additional stored water that can support home use for multiple days during well or system repairs when water use is actively managed.
• A whole-home water softener system provides softened water to all house-connected outlets, including sinks, showers, laundry, and hoses.

4. HOA / Community Operations

• Privately funded by homesite and landowners, the voluntary community homeowner association maintains approximately 85% participation, directly supporting road maintenance, water-system oversight, weekly private trash collection, and faster response when repairs are needed.
• Funding is directed toward practical infrastructure and staff-managed operations, supporting maintained roads, stronger water reliability, and faster pipe or system repairs.
• This practical funding model supports services not consistently available in nearby lower-participation communities, including private weekly trash service, community well infrastructure rather than hauled water tanks, and proactive staff attention to roads, water, and repair needs.
• Seasonal committees focus on road usability, gate operation and repair.

5. Security / Access Systems

• The Community Homeowners Association contributes to maintenance of the electronic coded gate serving the Finca Los Sueños Biological Community Nature Reserve.
• In addition, the property has a dedicated private electronic gate system for entry and exit access, with global remote management. Dolce Far Niente owners can add, change, or deactivate entry codes from anywhere.
• An in-house intercom connects to the front gate, allowing on-site call/answer and gate access control while at home.
• An additional multi-camera motion-sensor security system, solar/electric with remote access and real-time alerts, monitors perimeter activity and key service areas including bodega storage and the pool house; cameras are positioned for boundary, security, and maintenance monitoring.
• Interior motion-activated night lights/flashlights, with no cameras, are accessible throughout the home (6).

6. Construction / Systems

• Concrete slab construction, steel framing, concrete-block walls, local Laja stone, Spanish tile, large-format Italian tile, and stucco finishes create a durable, low-maintenance structure well suited to the tropical coastal environment.
• Large-format neutral gray tile flooring is used throughout the home, including the bedrooms, while the covered pool-deck patio is finished with wood-grain plank ceramic tile with an anti-slip surface.
• An oversized glass pivot front entry door and seven sliding glass locking doors with screens support indoor-outdoor living, natural light, and secure ventilation.
• Upper screened operable windows throughout the home support cross-ventilation and comfortable tropical airflow.
• The private septic system benefits from the property’s 2+ acre land area, allowing for an upgraded 40-foot+, five-arm leach field with an additional overflow box—an unusually robust configuration in Costa Rica, where many properties do not have sufficient land available for expanded leach-line capacity.

7. Accessibility / Entry / Parking / Circulation
