Designed by acclaimed architect Ronald Zürcher, Villa Tropical is a distinguished residence that celebrates the enduring elegance of Spanish Colonial architecture while offering the comfort and convenience sought by today’s discerning buyers. Situated within the exclusive Los Malinches enclave of Hacienda Pinilla, this exceptional home combines timeless design with a low-maintenance resort lifestyle.

Encompassing 4,275 square feet (397 m²), the villa features three spacious bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, thoughtfully arranged to provide both privacy and effortless flow. Abundant natural light, premium materials, and exquisite craftsmanship define the interiors, creating inviting spaces equally suited to everyday living, elegant entertaining, or extended stays.

Los Malinches is an intimate collection of just 28 townhouse-style villas, offering a peaceful residential atmosphere enhanced by resort-inspired amenities. Residents enjoy a swimming pool with shaded lounge areas, a fully equipped fitness center, and the convenience of an on-site chapel and community store. Covered parking and a private storage room further enhance the ease of ownership.

Professionally managed exterior maintenance and common areas allow homeowners to enjoy a truly lock-and-leave lifestyle, making Villa Tropical equally appealing as a primary residence, vacation retreat, or long-term investment.

Hacienda Pinilla spans more than 4,500 acres (1,800 hectares) of preserved tropical landscape and over three miles (5 kilometers) of pristine Pacific coastline. Residents enjoy access to an extraordinary array of amenities, including the acclaimed 18-hole Mike Young championship golf course, an exclusive Beach Club overlooking Playa Avellanas, tennis and pickleball courts, an equestrian center, extensive hiking and mountain biking trails, and the internationally renowned JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort & Spa.

Combining architectural pedigree, timeless character, and exceptional convenience, Villa Tropical represents a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive residence within one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after luxury resort communities.
