Casa Riviere | Tropical Living Just a 3-Minute Walk to Playa Potrero

Perfectly positioned in one of the most desirable pockets of Surfside Estates, Casa Riviere offers the rare combination of walkability, privacy, and tropical beauty. Just a three-minute stroll (300 meters) from the calm waters of Playa Potrero, you can also leave your car at home and walk to restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, a local brewery, shops, and everyday conveniences, making this one of the area's most sought-after locations.

Set on a peaceful no-through street, the home enjoys a quiet setting with virtually no traffic or dust. Even more unique, the backyard borders a lush river corridor where towering Guanacaste trees, majestic royal palms, and a gently flowing creek create a private jungle backdrop alive with monkeys, tropical birds, and other Costa Rican wildlife. It's a setting that feels worlds away while remaining just minutes from everything.

Offering approximately 2,500 square feet of living space on a 473 m² lot, the property features three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, plus a detached two-story guest apartment complete with its own kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, vacation home, or income-producing investment, the flexible layout offers exceptional versatility.

Designed for Costa Rica's indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the spacious covered terrace overlooks the tropical gardens and provides the perfect place for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing in the peaceful surroundings.

Inside, the open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen are filled with natural light. Vaulted teak ceilings, expansive sliding glass doors, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout.

The home features two spacious primary suites, each with its own beautifully appointed ensuite bathroom featuring oversized rain showers. A third bedroom and additional powder room accommodate family and guests, while the detached guest apartment offers complete privacy for visitors, extended family, or short-term rental opportunities.

Adding even more value is Casa Riviere's exclusive access to a beautifully landscaped recreational area on the adjoining bonus lot, shared by only three neighboring homes. Surrounded by mature royal palms and tropical jungle, this private oasis includes an oversized swimming pool large enough for lap swimming, a Jacuzzi, and a covered barbecue and entertaining area. It's the perfect extension of the home, whether hosting friends, enjoying a quiet afternoon by the pool, or providing resort-style amenities for guests staying in the detached apartment.

Surfside Estates is one of the Gold Coast's most established beach communities, offering a relaxed atmosphere and an exceptional walkable lifestyle. Families appreciate being just 10 minutes from La Paz Community School and Costa Rica International Academy (CRIA), while the world-class Flamingo Marina is only minutes away and Liberia International Airport is approximately 45 minutes from the property.

With its unique riverfront jungle setting, exceptional walkability, flexible guest accommodations, and exclusive access to resort-style amenities, Casa Riviere presents a rare opportunity to own one of Surfside's most distinctive homes.
