Long Description
Luxury meets the highly popular family surf scene at this exceptional 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom estate located in the rapidly growing beach town of Playa Grande, Costa Rica. Enjoy some of the most majestical mountain views that Playa Grande has to offer as you swim in the salt-water pool and admire the well manicured lawns of this expansive property, which is just under 1.8 acres.
Built to capture the beauty of Costa Rica while adhering to the high standards and expectations of those from the U.S. and Canada, this home was built by a seasoned Costa Rican developer who originally found his success building dream homes in Canada.
Casa Rico isn’t just an exceptional family home, it’s a turnkey retreat with strong rental appeal. Its secluded setting, distinctive finishes, ample bedrooms, dedicated movie room, cozy fireplace, and beautifully landscaped green areas create an inviting sanctuary for guests. The expansive lot offers tremendous potential for further development, whether you envision adding charming casitas, installing a sports court, or designing secret garden hideaways. With so much creative freedom, Casa Rico delivers both comfort and opportunity, ideal for a rental property that stands out in the market.
As you enter the home you will immediately notice the large vaulted ceilings and bright open spaces that seem to go on forever through the use of sliding glass doors and upper windows on two sides. This space features a welcoming living area, complete with a large sectional sofa perfect for the space, a flat screen TV, sleek black ceiling fans, a striking 8-person dining room table made from one slab of beautiful Guanacaste wood, and bamboo hardwood floors that bring a glowing warmth to the home.
This inviting space opens to the chef’s kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, including a Thermador gas stove and a Fisher Paykel stove top and refrigerator with custom wood cabinet fronts for that crisp and timeless look, a huge island that doubles as a breakfast bar for four, striking tile floors, quartz countertops with waterfall edges, and a large pantry.
The living area also leads via large sliding glass doors to what could be considered the best part of Costa Rica living. With its large covered patio, outdoor dining and grill station, its warm salt water pool, and its amazing views overlooking the grounds of the estate with the mountains in the background, one can’t help but think that this is the stuff dreams are made of.
The principal bedroom suite is also a show-stopper, with its inviting french doors, beautiful accent wall, impressive size, its own office space, and sliding glass doors that open to views of the mountains. The en-suite bath also has plenty of space and features dual vanities, a rain shower and stand alone tub, and those same stunning views of the mountains.
Other attributes of the home include a separate living/movie/game room, perfect for those with large families or who like their own private spaces, an oversized two-car carport with an attached outdoor storage room, citrus trees, and an amazing firepit for enchanting nights under the stars. All in all, this home boasts a generous living area of 6,500 square feet and is located just a little over one mile from the beach.
Playa Grande is renowned for its pristine and famous surf beach, its laid-back lifestyle, its eclectic mix of restaurants, and its abundant wildlife. As part of the tropical dry forest, the area offers a unique combination of mountain views and access to the stunning coastline, providing the perfect balance of nature’s wonders and coastal living.
Playa Grande is also very centrally located and near popular beaches like Playa Flamingo and Playa Tamarindo. It is a short 15-minute drive to the top private schools in the area and medical facilities, and located just over an hour to the Liberia International Airport.
This unique property offers a luxurious and peaceful paradise while still being just moments away from the beach, and there is nothing else quite like it on the market.
