An Architectural Masterpiece Adjacent to Playa Camaronal

Located mere minutes from the Playa Camaronal Wildlife Refuge, celebrated for world-class in-shore fishing, exceptional surf breaks and as a protected nesting sanctuary for four of the seven sea-turtle species, Villa Escondida is a commanding 372 m² (4,000 sq), two-story residence sited on a private, secure 5,085 m² (1.25-acre) estate. Positioned approximately 25 minutes from Samara and 10 minutes from Playa Carrillo, the property offers a seamless combination of coastal accessibility and secluded natural grandeur. Completed in 2007 and continually cared for by its current owners, the villa reflects exceptional construction quality and a program of thoughtful upgrades, including a complete renovation of the kitchen and all bathrooms. The floor plan comprises four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two living rooms, and expansive covered terraces on both levels, all finished with handcrafted woodwork and ceiling fans that complement the tropical climate. The grounds present mature fruit trees and ornamental plantings that create a verdant, wildlife-rich environment that is home to toucans, scarlet macaws, monkeys, coatis and the nation’s whitetail deer. These cultivated gardens and native plantings extend the home’s living spaces into an ever-changing natural panorama. Ascending to the upper level, dramatic 4.57–6.10 m (15–20 ft) ceilings define the principal living area and open onto a broad covered terrace appointed with locally sourced Teak and Guanacaste custom furniture, including an impressive single-piece dining table. The terrace frames sweeping jungle vistas with ocean glimpses beyond, providing a sublime stage for both quiet mornings and elegant entertaining. The fully renovated kitchen is a statement of refined materiality: a large polished-concrete island and all-new concrete and Guanacaste wood cupboards and drawers create a durable yet sophisticated culinary hub. The adjacent living room is furnished with brand-new custom Guanacaste pieces, a grand bookshelf, sofa, chair and lounger, plus a parsons table with drawers, each piece reinforcing the home’s bespoke character. The luxury primary suite is appointed with a new bed, built-in seating with new cushions, large windows facing the jungle, and glass French doors that open to an ocean-view terrace. The master bathroom has been fully renovated and features brand-new marble floors and all-new plumbing fixtures, delivering spa-like finishes and meticulous attention to detail. On the entry level, with lofty 3.35 m (11 ft) ceilings, the layout opens from an inviting entry to a second master bedroom with a large en-suite bathroom. Two additional bedrooms are served by a secondary bathroom; both renovated baths include polished concrete and Guanacaste-wood vanities and framed mirrors. Every bedroom is equipped with air conditioning, ample hardwood closets crafted from local species, newly installed high-quality blinds, and glass French doors that open directly onto the private infinity pool, terrace and gardens. Practical amenities include a laundry room and an enclosed garage, all arranged to preserve the home’s elegant circulation and effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Villa Escondida presents a rare offering: distinguished architecture and hand-crafted finishes set within a secure, private property that shares its boundary with one of the region’s most important coastal refuges, a place of marine conservation, superb angling and surfing.
