Home for sale in Santa Cruz, Guanacaste - 4 BR

Casa Esencia is a residence meant to be felt as much as it is lived in. Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, it celebrates natural beauty, authenticity, and timeless design—offering a lifestyle where true luxury is found in calm, space, and a deep connection to nature.

Located within Las Golondrinas, one of the most exclusive residentials of Hacienda Pinilla, Casa Esencia enjoys a rare combination of privacy, low density, and direct beach access. Las Golondrinas delivers an intimate and refined residential experience unlike any other in the area.

Residents enjoy direct access to Playa Bonita, a virtually private, untouched beach known for its white sand, gentle waves, and dramatic rock formations that create natural ocean pools, all framed by lush tropical vegetation.

Casa Esencia sits on a 2,473.50 m² corner lot, one of the largest in the community, less than a four-minute walk from the beach. The home was thoughtfully designed to honor the land—all mature trees were preserved, allowing nature to shape the experience and creating a true private sanctuary.

This fully independent residence is built with solid, permanent construction—concrete, block, and steel—reflecting integrity, durability, and refined craftsmanship. Every material was carefully selected for both performance and design, reinforcing the home’s understated elegance.

The social areas are expansive, bright, and inviting. Living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly beneath high ceilings and elegant French-style windows that open to a large covered terrace, perfect for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining. The Italian Lube kitchen offers exceptional design, functionality, and quality, anchoring the home as both a gathering place and a design statement.

Casa Esencia features four en-suite bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and natural ventilation.
The primary suite is a serene retreat, offering exceptional privacy, a private terrace, and a stunning bathroom surrounded by expansive windows that invite light and nature inside. An outdoor shower completes the experience, embracing the spirit of Wabi-Sabi living.
The three additional suites maintain the same level of comfort, elegance, and connection to the natural environment.

The bedroom wing is intentionally separated from the social areas, allowing multiple experiences to coexist in harmony. Outdoors, a large private swimming pool becomes the heart of the sanctuary, surrounded by greenery and tranquility.

The entire residence is finished in chukum, a natural stucco that adds texture, warmth, and a relaxed yet sophisticated aesthetic, perfectly aligned with the coastal setting.

Hacienda Pinilla is a premier resort and residential community where luxury living and environmental stewardship exist in perfect harmony. Spanning 4,500 acres (1,800 hectares) of preserved tropical landscapes and more than three miles (5 km) of pristine Blue Flag coastline, it offers an unparalleled lifestyle on Costa Rica's Gold Coast.

The community is home to a championship 18-hole golf course designed by renowned architect Mike Young and recognized by the National Audubon Society for its commitment to environmental conservation. Residents also enjoy a private Beach Club, extensive nature trails, world-class recreational amenities, and a collection of thirteen distinctive residential communities ranging from oceanfront retreats to elegant golf-front estates.
