Location: Hacienda Pinilla, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Located in the exclusive beachfront community of Las Golondrinas at Hacienda Pinilla, this custom home offers direct access to top-tier beaches, surfing, golf, tennis, sport fishing, and equestrian facilities. The 5-star JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort & Spa is just 1 km away, with the vibrant town of Tamarindo only 15 minutes from the property.

Set on a beautifully landscaped 2,014 m² (½ acre) lot, the home features mature trees, lush gardens, and a slate and antique brick driveway.

A spacious garage and carport provide ample storage.
Designed by California architect Miguel Podolsky and built by engineer Karl Gronemeyer, this 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence spans nearly 6,000 sq. ft. and blends Spanish Colonial architecture with fine finishes. The open floor plan includes a Great Room, dining area, and professionally equipped kitchen with custom cabinetry and granite countertops. The poolside master suite opens to shaded terraces, while two guest suites share a traditionally styled bathroom.
Upstairs, a dramatic entertainment room features a vaulted hardwood ceiling, wine bar, home theater, and lounge. Handcrafted doors lead to a covered balcony with hammocks. The upper master suite includes high ceilings, a private terrace, a spacious bath with dual showers, and a walk-in closet. Two additional guest suites share a bathroom, completing this thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed home.
