Details: 8500 square-foot 5 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath beachfront residence with an office, gym and 2-car garage set on a 13,732 square-foot meticulously landscaped lot.  

Description: If Art Brewer's resplendent images of Bunker and Ellie in Morocco met with the late-sugar heir's vision for a tropical surfing paradise, the result would have looked a bit like this. Set on an ocean-front lot, the drama of the residence and surrounding grounds is belied by the secret-garden-like hidden pathway to the sand (and surf) found in the trees.

The home, designed by Abraham Valenzuela, one of Costa Rica's most renowned architects, masterfully blends classic Moroccan architecture in a tropical surrounding. The spacious 5-bedroom result is introspective, not ostentatious. And the interior continues that aesthetic line, with masterful craftsmanship, mystical North African design elements, Asian influenced architectural treasures, and antique details that further complement the interior spaces which spread amply through the common areas.

The beach-side infinity pool is set among palm trees, a lush lawn area, an exotic pool shelter and a series of marble terraces and stairways that climb to the home's rear veranda. Inside the rear veranda are the common interior spaces, an ample foyer and main living area beset by floor-to-ceiling glass walls. A grand marble staircase leads to the ocean view master suite, dressing area, master bath and a lovely sun deck. On the north side of the second floor is an additional bedroom which compliments the main house.
