Property
Located in the hillside community of Altos de Malena, this architect-designed home offers elevated Pacific Ocean views, steady breezes, and a comfortable year-round climate just minutes from the beach. The property sits on a 1,571 m2 lot with approximately 150 m2 of construction, positioned to capture west-facing sunsets over the ocean.
The setting feels open and private, surrounded by forest, fruit trees, and natural vegetation. From this elevation, you experience constant airflow and noticeably fewer insects compared to properties at sea level. Even though the beach is only about three to four minutes away, the temperature here remains pleasant throughout the day and evening.
Thoughtful Architectural Design
The home was designed with open spaces and practical living in mind. The main level centers around a spacious covered terrace that frames sweeping ocean views. This terrace naturally becomes the main living area - ideal for dining, relaxing in a hammock, or simply watching the Pacific change colors at sunset.
Inside, the layout connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen in a functional open-concept design. Wood ceilings add warmth, while clean lines and modern finishes keep the space simple and easy to maintain. The house feels comfortable rather than oversized, which makes it suitable for both full-time living and vacation use.
The property features:
-3 bedrooms
-2 bathrooms
-Open living, dining, and kitchen area
-Large covered terrace with panoramic ocean views
-Plunge pool facing west toward the sunset
-Parking for multiple vehicles
The lower-level bedroom offers privacy and flexibility for guests or potential rental use.
Partially Off-Grid with Solar Backup
This home includes a solar panel system with battery backup that provides power to the house. This provides consistent power while reducing dependence on the grid and offering protection against outages. There are power lines on the road which could be connected to the house anytime.
Water is supplied by two water springs, and the property also benefits from two natural water sources. This combination adds a layer of independence and sustainability that many buyers look for in this region.
Location and Lifestyle
Altos de Malena is centrally positioned within the greater Torio and Mariato area. From the property you are:
-Approximately 3 minutes to the beach
-Close to multiple surf breaks
-Near excellent fishing spots
About 20 minutes to Mariato for supermarkets, hospital, hardware stores, and other essential services
The elevation gives you the benefit of ocean proximity without the heavier humidity and heat found directly on the coastline. The result is a comfortable microclimate with strong breezes and expansive views.
Whether used as a primary residence, a seasonal home, or a rental property, this house offers a balanced combination of design, sustainability, and location.
