It is rare to find a property like this anywhere in the area.

Set high on a private hill and surrounded by the lush green hills of Guanacaste, this extraordinary property offers 14,377 m² of land, complete privacy, beautiful mountain views, and a peaceful connection with nature — all just 10 minutes from the stunning beaches of Playa Carrillo.

The experience begins the moment you enter through the private gate. A beautifully paved driveway winds its way up and around the hill, lined with palm trees and surrounded by tropical greenery. At the top, it opens onto a spacious parking area and a covered carport for two cars, where you get your first glimpse of the distinctive L-shaped main house.

But it is when you step through the front door that the property truly comes to life.

The home has been thoughtfully designed to embrace its natural surroundings, with every part of the house opening toward the tropical landscape and the pool.

The left wing features three spacious bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and large windows that frame the surrounding nature like living works of art. The master bedroom also includes a generous walk-in closet. All three bedrooms look directly onto the pool and gardens, bringing the beauty of nature into everyday life.

The right wing is designed for living and entertaining, with a spacious living area and kitchen, a second entrance directly from the carport, and a separate laundry room. Just off the kitchen, a charming little bar creates the perfect spot to gather with friends. Two additional sitting areas and a large terrace with a beautiful square fire pit provide plenty of inviting spaces to relax and enjoy evenings under the stars.

And then there is the rancho.

With its original pizza oven, it is made for long lunches, dinners with friends, and relaxed evenings together in true Costa Rican style.

At the heart of the property is the spectacular swimming pool, uniquely shaped like a musical note. It features a shallow section for relaxing and a deeper section for swimming, combining an unusual design with everyday functionality.

The 14,377 m² grounds are something truly special. Mature fruit trees and a wide variety of tropical trees are scattered throughout the property, including a magnificent, enormous Guanacaste tree that has become part of the landscape itself. Several areas of the land also offer excellent potential for future expansion, whether you envision additional guest accommodations, rental units, or simply creating more private spaces within this beautiful natural setting.

And there is one more special feature.

At the lower end of the property, completely separate from the main house and accessed by its own private driveway, you will find a charming two-bedroom guest house. It includes one bathroom, a kitchenette, a comfortable living area, its own parking, and plenty of privacy. It is perfect for visiting family and friends, but could just as easily be used as a separate rental unit.

What makes this property so special is the way everything comes together: the hilltop setting, the expansive private grounds, the architecture, the pool, the tropical gardens, the views, and the feeling of complete privacy — all while being just minutes from the beach.

It is more than just a house.

It is a place to live, relax, spend time with family and friends, enjoy nature, and truly embrace the Costa Rican lifestyle. And for those who wish, it also offers the opportunity to create additional living spaces or generate rental income as the property evolves over time.

A property like this is difficult to put into words.

You simply have to experience it for yourself.

The photos speak for themselves, but seeing this property in person is something completely different.

Good to know

Buying in Costa Rica

Can foreigners own property here?

Yes. Foreign nationals have the same ownership rights as Costa Rican citizens and can hold titled property in their own name, a company, or a trust - no local partner required.

What are the typical closing costs?

Closing costs are largely set by law and usually total around 3.5-4% of the price, covering transfer tax, stamps and notary fees, plus legal due-diligence.

How does the buying process work?

Usually 45-90 days: a letter of intent with a deposit in escrow, title due-diligence by your attorney, a purchase agreement, then closing before a notary who registers the transfer.
