Listing ID: 400192071166

Set amid 125 pristine acres in the rolling emerald highlands of Costa Rica’s Lake Arenal region, Mansion Morena is an estate of exceptional scale, featuring over 18,000 sq.ft.of meticulously crafted living space, and remarkable possibility. Beyond two private gates, a tree-lined avenue winds gracefully through the countryside before revealing an extraordinary Colonial Revival-inspired residence that commands its surroundings with quiet confidence and breathtaking panoramic views.

Conceived as a private legacy estate and thoughtfully arranged across three levels, Mansion Morena is far more than an exceptional residence. It is a remarkable sequence of interconnected experiences, where elegant entertaining spaces, private retreats, resort-inspired amenities, and the surrounding landscape are woven together with exceptional architectural clarity.

Equally remarkable is the uncompromising quality of its construction. From its structural integrity to its meticulously crafted architectural details, every element reflects an exceptional standard of craftsmanship. Fine timber work, enduring materials, and bespoke finishes create a residence that stands comfortably alongside distinguished private estates throughout North America and Europe; a home built not only to impress, but to endure.

Every exceptional estate begins with a sense of anticipation. At Mansion Morena, that experience starts beyond beautifully crafted entrance gates, where the outside world quietly gives way to rolling pasture, mature trees, and sweeping mountain vistas. The approach is deliberately unhurried, allowing the surrounding landscape to unfold gradually before the residence gracefully reveals itself within one of Costa Rica’s most remarkable countryside settings. It is an arrival that immediately conveys the privacy, permanence, and understated confidence that define the estate.

Stepping inside, the remarkable scale of the residence is matched by an unmistakable sense of warmth. Designed as a place where people naturally gather, the principal living spaces flow effortlessly from elegant formal lounges to beautifully appointed dining rooms, a chef’s kitchen, and an intimate tasting lounge created for the enjoyment of fine wines, rare cognacs, and premium cigars.

Expansive walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, revealing a spectacular entertaining pavilion centred around a heated indoor pool, elegant lounges, multiple dining settings, and a fully equipped professional catering kitchen designed to comfortably accommodate everything from intimate family gatherings to grand celebrations. The Pavilion forms the social heart of the estate; a remarkable space where architecture, hospitality, wellness, and landscape come together as one uninterrupted experience. More than an entertaining space, it is a destination in its own right.

Beyond, the experience continues onto an expansive outdoor entertaining terrace featuring a dramatic infinity-edge pool, a plunge pool, a private jacuzzi, a sunken fire lounge, panoramic viewing decks, and beautifully landscaped gardens. On the opposite elevation, the residence opens to yet another outdoor entertaining area where relaxed seating, table games, and garden terraces create an entirely different atmosphere before pathways continue naturally toward the firepit, sun deck, and dedicated wellness/gym level below.

Rather than separating daily living from entertaining, the residence celebrates both. Every room has been carefully composed to encourage conversation, connection, and effortless movement, while expansive windows frame the surrounding countryside at every opportunity. Each space within Mansion Morena has been thoughtfully composed as a destination in its own right, yet each remains seamlessly connected to the next. Together they create a remarkable sequence of interconnected experiences unlike anything else in the region.

The residence offers eight beautifully appointed bedrooms, including two exceptional principal suites on the main level, each providing privacy, comfort, and beautiful views across the estate. The second level accommodates six additional air-conditioned guest bedrooms, each featuring custom built-in closets. Beautifully designed, resort-inspired bathrooms reflect the same timeless elegance and attention to detail found throughout the residence. Complementing the guest accommodation are two generous lounge areas, creating inviting places to gather and unwind.

Ascending further, the residence reveals one final architectural surprise. Beneath soaring exposed timber trusses, an extraordinary open gallery crowns the home. More than a room, it is a volume of possibility. Whether enjoyed as an executive business centre, refined lounge, wellness studio, or additional guest accommodation, the gallery offers exceptional flexibility while celebrating the extraordinary craftsmanship that defines Mansion Morena.

Completing the residence is a dedicated wellness level featuring a fully equipped fitness studio together with generous changing facilities, walk-in showers, and dedicated storage. Together with the indoor pool, infinity pool, private jacuzzi, and surrounding outdoor living spaces, the estate has been thoughtfully designed to encourage wellbeing, relaxation, and connection with nature.

While the residence is extraordinary in its own right, the surrounding estate expands the possibilities even further. Rolling pastureland, established corrals, abundant natural water sources, ponds, river frontage, and a traditional trapiche create exceptional opportunities for cattle or buffalo ranching, equestrian pursuits, sustainable agriculture, or a private luxury guest ranch. Behind the scenes, an oversized garage accommodating approximately five vehicles, a commercial-style laundry and linen facility, backup generator, advanced security systems, spring-fed water supply, and extensive infrastructure ensure the estate operates as effortlessly as it entertains.

A Vision Without Limits, originally conceived as an extraordinary private estate, Mansion Morena possesses a versatility rarely found in a property of this calibre. Its exceptional scale, thoughtfully designed infrastructure, and remarkable sequence of interconnected experiences provide the foundation for an equally extraordinary future.

Whether preserved as one of Costa Rica’s finest private estates, reimagined as an exclusive luxury guest ranch, transformed into an intimate boutique hospitality destination, or elevated into a world-class wellness or executive leadership retreat, the estate offers an exceptional canvas upon which to create something truly enduring.

The expansive lawns and panoramic countryside provide an unforgettable setting for destination weddings beneath the stars, where elegant marquees, curated dining experiences, and extraordinary celebrations become part of the estate’s continuing story. Subject to the appropriate approvals, the property also presents opportunities for future guest villas or luxury casitas, allowing the estate to evolve while preserving the remarkable character that defines Mansion Morena. Few estates possess the ability to honour their past while embracing an entirely new future. Mansion Morena is one of those rare places.

Beyond the boundaries of the estate, the landscape opens toward some of Costa Rica’s most celebrated natural attractions. Lake Arenal, renowned for its fishing, boating, and windsurfing, lies just thirty minutes away, while the iconic Arenal Volcano, the internationally acclaimed Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa, Río Celeste, and Tenorio Volcano National Park are all within easy reach. Liberia International Airport is approximately ninety minutes away via well-maintained national roads, placing international travel within convenient reach while preserving the estate’s remarkable sense of privacy.

Restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, medical services, and professional amenities are all nearby, while a trusted local team can provide estate management, hospitality, housekeeping, maintenance, and concierge services. Yet perhaps the estate’s greatest luxury is that, once you arrive, there is little reason to leave.

Some estates are measured by their size. Others by their craftsmanship. The rarest are defined by the possibilities they inspire. Mansion Morena is one of those rare places; one of Costa Rica’s most extraordinary private estates, ready to welcome its next steward.
