Villa Escondida | Playa Camaronal , Zapotal, Nandayure, Guanacaste

Located just minutes from the pristine shores of Playa Camaronal, one of Guanacaste's most peaceful and unspoiled beaches, Villa Escondida offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of a protected coastal sanctuary while remaining close to modern conveniences. Situated beside the Playa Camaronal Wildlife Refuge, the area is known for excellent in-shore fishing, surf breaks, and as a protected nesting ground for four of the world's seven sea turtle species.

Despite its secluded atmosphere, the property is only 5 minutes from the town of Estrada, offering grocery stores, a gas station, and dining options. It is just 10 minutes from Playa Carrillo--one of Costa Rica's most iconic palm-lined beaches--and approximately 25 minutes from the vibrant beach town of Samara, where you'll find restaurants, shops, medical services, schools, and other essential amenities.

Set on a private 5,085 m2 (1.25-acre) estate surrounded by lush tropical nature, the impressive 372 m2 (4,000 sq ft) two-story residence offers exceptional space, privacy, and craftsmanship.

Completed in 2007 and meticulously maintained, the home features four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two living rooms, and expansive covered terraces on both levels. Recent upgrades include a brand-new roof, fully renovated bathrooms, and a beautifully remodeled kitchen.

The landscaped grounds feature mature fruit trees and ornamental gardens that attract an abundance of wildlife, including toucans, scarlet macaws, monkeys, coatis, and Costa Rica's native whitetail deer, creating a setting that feels deeply connected to nature.

Upstairs, dramatic 15-20 ft ceilings frame the main living area, which opens to a spacious covered terrace furnished with custom pieces crafted from locally sourced teak and Guanacaste, including a striking single-slab dining table. From here, sweeping jungle views extend toward the Pacific with glimpses of the ocean and spectacular sunsets.

The fully renovated kitchen features a polished concrete island and custom Guanacaste wood cabinetry, blending durability with warm contemporary design. The adjacent living room includes custom Guanacaste furnishings and built-ins.

The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with jungle-facing windows and French doors opening to an ocean-view terrace. The renovated bathroom features marble floors and new plumbing fixtures, creating a spa-like atmosphere.

On the entry level, 11 ft ceilings create an open layout with a second primary bedroom with en-suite bath and two additional bedrooms sharing a renovated bathroom. French doors open directly to the private infinity pool, terrace, and gardens.

Additional amenities include air conditioning in bedrooms, a laundry room, and an enclosed garage.

Combining privacy, natural beauty, and proximity to world-class beaches, Villa Escondida offers exceptional value and an ideal coastal lifestyle near Carrillo and Samara.
