Palm Beach Estates, Playa Grande — Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Steps from the sand, and built on fully titled land, not a beachfront concession.
Most of what sits this close to a Costa Rican beach is concession property, leased from the municipality on a renewable term. This home is fee-simple titled, which means it is owned outright, financed and resold like any other property, with no concession renewal to think about.
A newly built, two-level modern home in a quiet residential pocket of Playa Grande, a short walk from the beach. Board-formed concrete and teak throughout, with floor-to-ceiling glass that opens the main living level straight onto the pool terrace.
Six bedrooms, three of them en suite, with the primary suite on the ground floor opening to the pool terrace. The sixth is a hybrid room with a Murphy bed, set up as a gym and yoga studio and used as a bedroom when the house is full. A resort-style pool with a baja shelf anchors the outdoor living space, which also carries an outdoor kitchen with a propane grill, a private beach volleyball court, a poolside bathroom, an outdoor shower and lounge areas in both sun and shade.
The house is fully automated: programmed lighting scenes and dimmers throughout, exterior lighting on a dusk schedule with motion detection, and labeled zone switches in every room. Each bedroom has its own independent A/C unit that pauses when a door or window is left open, plus a smart TV. Built-in speakers run through the house and both terraces (AirPlay 2 and Google Cast).
Behind the walls: a rooftop solar array with battery backup, a dedicated water reserve with automatic pressure pumping and on-site filtration and softening, and cable internet with an automatic backup connection. Two washer-dryer sets and a dedicated workspace round it out.
A long, quiet surf beach inside Las Baulas National Marine Park, where leatherback turtles still come ashore to nest. The town stays low-key and residential by design: no high-rises, a handful of restaurants, and the beach itself is the main event.
A handful of cafés and restaurants are within a short walk. Tamarindo is across the estuary, a few minutes by water taxi or about twenty-five by road, for restaurants, nightlife and services. Liberia International Airport is about an hour away.
Message me and I will send the full details and set up a showing or a video walkthrough.
