FLOATING ON PARADISE
A Tropical Getaway That’s Ripe For The Taking
Imagine waking up to the breathtaking views and the warm gentle breeze from the inside of a beautiful home. Well, this home called the Casa Flotante or the “Floating House” located in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica may just be more than what you can imagine and the best part is it’s for sale!
This home maximizes its location with its location and architectural design; standing on tall stilts for that floating effect and the openness of the home for a full vivid view of the beautiful scenery. The home is sustainable and it has all the luxuries you need to live a comfortable life above the lush forest landscape. The home is spacious with around 3,000 square feet and it sits on about 1.5 acres of land; all of this can be yours at a price of $2 million.
“We essentially lifted the house up into the air on a series of piloti which gives the impression that it is floating above the hillside,” says García-Saxe. “This common-sense solution allowed us to create a very delicate intervention, one that allows the terrain to breathe whilst providing spectacular views out towards the ocean from the key location on the site.”
