Casa Escondida | Retraite De Luxe Et Domaine Familial Près De Tamarindo

Set on nearly 2.5 acres of fully fenced, lush jungle grounds, this extraordinary estate was designed over a decade ago by renowned Costa Rican architect Scott Woods, whose work is recognized for blending tropical beauty with purposeful, enduring design.

Casa Escondida is a true multi-use estate. Whether you’re looking for a multi-generational family compound, a private wellness or retreat center, or a premium vacation rental investment with serious income potential, this property delivers on all three. It is offered fully furnished and turnkey, ready from day one.

Located just 1 hour and 15 minutes from Liberia International Airport (LIR), minutes from supermarkets and international schools, and only a short walk from the center of Santa Rosa.

The main residence offers 2,852 sq.ft. of living space across 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and two separate living areas. At its heart is a spectacular floating rancho-style living space suspended above the jungle canopy, designed to be enjoyed fully open-air with screened comfort or completely enclosed and air-conditioned. Soaring ceilings, a beautifully crafted wooden kitchen with high-end finishes, a walk-in pantry, an oversized island, and a dedicated BBQ area make this a home built for both daily living and effortless entertaining. The main residence has its own private pool.

The second residence spans 1,291 sq.ft. with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spacious living room, and a fully equipped kitchen — and critically, its own private pool and deck, giving guests or tenants complete independence from the main estate. Whether hosting family, long-term tenants, or vacation guests, the flexibility here is exceptional.

The separate casita offers 376 sq.ft. with a kitchenette, full bathroom, and its own parking area — a private and cozy retreat for a guest or couple, or a third rentable unit for those maximizing income potential.

Resort-Style Pool & Outdoor Living

The third pool anchors the main outdoor entertaining area — a resort-style heated pool with a swim-up bar, rancho, and multiple sun decks surrounded by mature trees and tropical landscaping. Three pools across the estate mean every corner of the property has its own space to unwind.

Located above the main pool, this fully air-conditioned space functions as a gym, yoga studio, private office, or additional bedroom — a natural extension for wellness-oriented living or retreat programming.

The Grounds

A full-time caretaker lives on-site in his own separate home near the entrance, overseeing the grounds and day-to-day maintenance — a rare and valuable asset that comes with the property.

Additional features include a 645 sq.ft. workshop and storage bodega, a small skate ramp, a two-vehicle carport at the main residence, a shaded jet ski and motorcycle carport, an irrigation system, water purification, app-controlled security cameras throughout, and fully fenced grounds.
