Casa Sabana | Refined Tropical Living In Hacienda Pinilla, Costa Rica

Where golden Guanacaste light, contemporary design, and effortless outdoor living come together.

Casa Sabana is a sophisticated tropical residence created for those who appreciate thoughtful architecture, exceptional privacy, and a lifestyle centered around the beauty of Costa Rica. Set within Hacienda Pinilla, one of the country’s most established private gated communities, this five-bedroom property combines elegant interiors, generous outdoor spaces, and a distinctive detached guest accommodation to create a residence equally suited to family life, entertaining, and extended stays.

Set on an impressive 2,134 m² (0.53-acre) homesite, Casa Sabana unfolds across two levels, with architecture carefully oriented toward the lush tropical surroundings. The heart of the home is its expansive indoor-outdoor social area, where large glass sliding doors open the living room, kitchen, dining area, and terrace into one fluid, light-filled space. The result is an effortless transition between sophisticated interiors and the relaxed rhythm of life outdoors.

The main villa offers a thoughtful combination of shared and private spaces. The first level includes a full laundry room, covered patio, dedicated BBQ area, and an inviting outdoor living space designed for long lunches, relaxed evenings, and gatherings beneath the Guanacaste sky. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms overlook the 42-foot swimming pool, each offering an elevated perspective over the tropical landscape and a sense of privacy and tranquility.

What truly distinguishes Casa Sabana is its detached guest accommodation, thoughtfully designed to function as a private retreat within the property. Two additional bedrooms feature their own en-suite bathrooms, built-in or walk-in closets, and private outdoor garden showers, while a dedicated outdoor seating area beside the pool creates an intimate space for guests or extended family to relax independently.

Together, the main villa and detached quarters provide an exceptionally versatile five-bedroom configuration. Whether hosting family and friends, accommodating multiple generations, or simply enjoying the luxury of additional private space, Casa Sabana offers flexibility without compromising the sense of connection that defines the home.

At the center of the outdoor experience is the 42-foot swimming pool, framed by tropical landscaping and inviting spaces for lounging, dining, and entertaining. The design encourages a slower, more effortless way of living—morning swims, afternoons beneath the tropical sun, cocktails at sunset, and evenings spent outdoors with family and friends.

A Rare Combination of Privacy and Freedom

Casa Sabana also offers an increasingly valuable distinction within established luxury communities: no HOA fees. Its location within Hacienda Pinilla’s master-planned environment provides greater confidence in the long-term character of the surrounding neighborhood, with established planning guidelines helping preserve privacy and architectural harmony.

For discerning buyers, that combination of space, privacy, flexibility, and freedom creates a compelling ownership proposition—particularly for those seeking a Costa Rican residence that can serve equally well as a private family retreat, vacation home, or high-end rental property.

Hacienda Pinilla | The Costa Rican Coastal Lifestyle

Hacienda Pinilla encompasses more than 4,500 acres (1,800 hectares) of preserved tropical landscape and over 5 kilometers of Pacific coastline, creating one of the most distinctive residential and resort environments on Costa Rica’s Gold Coast.

Life here extends well beyond the boundaries of the home. Residents enjoy an exceptional collection of amenities, including an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Mike Young, a private Beach Club overlooking the Pacific, tennis and pickleball courts, an equestrian center, and an extensive network of nature and mountain-biking trails. The golf course is also recognized by the National Audubon Society for its commitment to environmental stewardship.

The result is a lifestyle that balances recreation with tranquility and adventure with privacy. Days can begin with a swim at home, continue on the golf course or along the trails, and end with a sunset at the Beach Club or an evening spent entertaining beneath the Guanacaste sky.

A Distinctive Costa Rican Retreat

Casa Sabana is more than a beautifully designed residence. It is a home shaped around the pleasures of tropical living—space to gather, privacy to retreat, and an effortless connection to nature.

For buyers looking for a sophisticated five-bedroom residence with exceptional guest accommodation, generous outdoor living, and the enduring appeal of Hacienda Pinilla, Casa Sabana represents a rare opportunity to own a home where contemporary elegance and Costa Rica’s natural beauty exist in perfect balance.
