Location: Tambor, Costa Rica
A Rare Ocean-View Estate on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula | Sky Haven Ranch
Hidden in the hills above Tambor, Sky Haven Ranch is an extraordinary private estate where expansive land, dramatic ocean views, and refined architecture come together in one remarkable setting. Encompassing approximately 37 hectares (91 acres), the property offers the rare combination of true seclusion and convenient access, with Tambor’s airstrip only 3 kilometers away, the main road approximately 600 meters from the estate, and the Pacific Ocean within easy reach.
From its elevated position, the property commands an exceptional outlook across the Bay of Tambor. On exceptionally clear days, the coastline stretches toward Jacó in the distance, creating a remarkable sense of scale and openness. Yet the view is only one part of the experience. The estate is immersed in the living landscape of the Nicoya Peninsula, surrounded by mature vegetation, native wildlife, rolling hills, and the quiet rhythm of the tropical forest.
Water is one of the property’s natural assets, with private wells providing an abundant supply of fresh water. The surrounding land offers an extraordinary sense of space and possibility—whether envisioned as a private family compound, luxury retreat, wellness destination, or simply a secluded residence surrounded by nature.
Architecture Rooted in the Landscape: Designed with a deliberate sensitivity to its surroundings, the residence feels integrated into the hillside rather than imposed upon it. Natural stone, expansive glass, and a living green roof create a seamless relationship between the architecture and the forest beyond.
The home’s signature space is the elevated living area, surrounded by glass on three sides. Here, the distinction between indoors and outdoors virtually disappears. The changing landscape becomes part of the room, with uninterrupted views extending across the ranch, surrounding mountains, and Pacific horizon.
The main residence includes four bedrooms and four full bathrooms, along with two additional versatile rooms that can be adapted to suit the owner’s needs—ideal for additional sleeping quarters, a fitness room, creative studio, wellness space, or private office.
Additional interior features include a library, dedicated office, welcoming entrance hall, pantry, and rooftop garden, creating a residence equally suited to entertaining and quiet daily life.
Life Above the Bay: Outside, the estate is designed for enjoying the extraordinary climate and natural setting. A 15-meter swimming pool anchors the outdoor living area, accompanied by a covered BBQ ranch that provides an inviting gathering space for long lunches, sunset cocktails, and evenings beneath the tropical sky.
Wildlife is an everyday part of life here. Scarlet macaws pass through the surrounding canopy, while mantled howler monkeys can often be heard and seen moving through the trees. The changing light brings a different character to the property throughout the day—from brilliant mornings overlooking the bay to dramatic sunsets that transform the western horizon.
Despite its feeling of remoteness, Sky Haven Ranch is remarkably accessible. The proximity to Tambor and its airstrip allows owners and guests to move easily between this private retreat and the rest of Costa Rica, while the property’s substantial acreage provides the privacy and freedom increasingly difficult to find in coastal markets.
Located within the Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world’s renowned Blue Zones, Sky Haven Ranch offers an opportunity to embrace a slower, more intentional way of living—without sacrificing comfort, access, or architectural character.
Sky Haven Ranch is not simply an ocean-view property. It is an estate defined by scale, privacy, nature, and possibility—a rare opportunity to own an exceptional piece of the Nicoya Peninsula and create a lifestyle entirely your own.
