Casa Riverstone

Casa Riverstone

Casa Riverstone feels like one of those rare places that lets you have both the stillness of the jungle and the ease of the coast without asking you to compromise on either. Set in Savegre above Dominical and newly completed in 2026, this five-bedroom ocean-view villa welcomes up to 12 guests across a multi-level layout designed for privacy, gathering, and long, beautiful days at home. As part of the Pura Villas private collection, it brings together uninterrupted whitewater views, a quiet gated setting, and quick access to the energy of Dominical’s beach town, making it especially appealing for families and groups who want to stay close to everything while feeling completely removed from it.

From the moment you arrive, Casa Riverstone unfolds with a sense of space and intention. The entrance level opens onto a generous landing with a wine wall and a flexible family room that works beautifully as a children’s retreat, media lounge, or relaxed workspace. The main residence includes four bedrooms, while a separate casita tucked beneath the entrance level adds an extra layer of privacy with its own kitchen, king bedroom, ensuite bathroom, and private terrace. This layout makes the villa especially well suited to multigenerational stays, two-family holidays, or guests traveling with a nanny, staff, or a couple who would appreciate their own independent space.

The heart of Casa Riverstone is the main living level, where indoor and outdoor life flow together effortlessly. The living room opens directly onto the terrace, the dining area comfortably seats up to 14 guests between the main table and island, and the kitchen is fully equipped for everything from easy breakfasts to chef-led dinners. Outside, the home becomes even more memorable: an outdoor bar and BBQ area sit just off the kitchen, while a wraparound terrace leads to a cantilevered infinity pool with a glass-sided edge featuring what the listing describes as the largest pool glass panel installed in Costa Rica.

A hot tub faces the sunset, an outdoor bathroom and double shower make pool days easy, and a sunken lounge beneath a shaded pergola creates a natural setting for aperitifs, conversation, and the kind of evenings that stretch beautifully into night. A yoga deck above the terrace, together with mats, workout bands, and a Sonos sound system, adds a thoughtful wellness layer that many Costa Rica Villas near Dominical simply do not offer.

What makes Casa Riverstone stand out from nearby options is the way it combines true privacy, brand-new 2026 design, a separate self-contained casita, and a dramatic glass-edged infinity pool with remarkably easy access to Dominical’s beach, dining, and day-to-day essentials.

The setting is especially compelling for travelers who want to experience the best of the southern Pacific coast without spending their whole stay in the car. From the villa, you come down toward central Dominical, where the beach, casual restaurants, cafés, groceries, and pharmacy are all within easy reach by car in roughly 8 to 10 minutes, depending on exactly where you stop.

For practical orientation, Plaza Pacifica sits just off the Costanera and is known for one of the main grocery options in town, while Farmar Pharmacy is on Dominical’s main street. The weekly farmers market in Dominical Plaza adds another appealing local touch for guests who enjoy fresh produce and a more rooted sense of place. For travelers comparing Costa Rica Villas, this balance of hillside views and real proximity to daily conveniences is a meaningful advantage.

Arrival is straightforward, but it is worth planning well. The most practical international gateway is Juan Santamaría International Airport in San José, with the drive to Dominical generally taking about 3.5 to 4 hours in lighter conditions and longer during heavier traffic or busy travel periods. Guests who prefer to shorten the road transfer can fly domestically with SANSA from San José to Quepos in about 30 minutes, then continue by car for roughly 35 to 40 minutes to the Dominical area.

The main route into Dominical is well established, but the final climb to the house is part of the villa experience: Riverstone sits on hillside terrain, and the property specifically requires a 4×4 due to the road conditions on the last stretch. In other words, this is a home that rewards guests with elevation, views, and privacy, and a proper 4×4 is the right vehicle to enjoy it comfortably.

Casa Riverstone is ideal for guests who want mornings framed by jungle and ocean, afternoons around the pool, and evenings that can move easily between a private chef dinner at home and a quick drive into town. It is a villa that feels elevated in every sense: in outlook, in design, in privacy, and in the quality of the stay it delivers.
