Two Private Three-Bedroom Residences
The estate is organized around two separate three-bedroom residences under one connected property. Each side includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bathroom, along with its own kitchen, living area, dining space, and ocean-view terrace.
Together, the two residences can operate as a single six-bedroom estate, while each retains a strong sense of privacy on its own. The layout works well for extended family stays or multi-generational living when combined, and just as easily separates for family members, guests, or independent use.
As a multi-family luxury residence in Guanacaste, it offers more flexibility than a typical single-family home, supporting both privacy and connection so the property can adapt as needs change over time.
Ocean-View Interiors and Expansive Terraces
Every interior space is oriented to keep the surrounding scenery front and center. Open living areas lead out to broad terraces, where Playa Penca, the Catalina Islands, and the Pacific horizon form a dramatic backdrop.
These terraces lend themselves to outdoor dining, quiet mornings, sunset gatherings, and everyday relaxed living. The elevated hillside position brings in coastal breezes and lets both residences enjoy the views while keeping their own distinct character.
Having been recently upgraded throughout, the property is ready for immediate use while still offering all the flexibility built into its duplex design.
Resort-Style Pool and Outdoor Entertaining
A large resort-style swimming pool overlooking the Pacific anchors the outdoor living area. Set between the two residences, it forms a natural gathering point that ties into the property's broader coastal setting.
A covered outdoor kitchen and barbecue pavilion add further living space, giving residents a dedicated spot for poolside dining, entertaining, and unwinding in the afternoons. Between the shaded gathering areas, open terraces, and ocean views, the outdoor spaces stay enjoyable throughout Playa Potrero's tropical climate.
Caretaker Residence and Expansion Potential
A caretaker residence already on-site offers practical accommodations for maintenance, management, security, or other support needs, adding functionality without taking up space in either of the main three-bedroom residences.
The 1,689 m² lot also leaves room for an additional private casita, pending applicable permits, infrastructure, and municipal approval. Such a structure could later serve as a guest residence, private suite, wellness studio, office, or other type of accommodation.
Between the caretaker residence and the room for a future casita, the property holds onto long-term flexibility.
Investment Potential
This flexible configuration suits a private coastal residence, vacation home, multi-generational estate, or future income-producing use.
The two connected three-bedroom residences can function together as a six-bedroom property or operate as separate living spaces, opening up options for extended family stays, private guest accommodations, shared use, personal occupancy, or vacation-rental income.
The dual-residence design gives the property a practical base for income generation in Playa Potrero, whether by running one residence independently or operating the full estate as a larger accommodation. Its independent layout and resort-style amenities add further appeal across a range of ownership and occupancy strategies.

Lifestyle and Market Insight
Playa Potrero offers a relaxed coastal setting close to several well-known Guanacaste beach communities, with days that might include quiet mornings by the ocean, afternoons at nearby beaches, and evenings in Playa Potrero, Playa Flamingo, or Las Catalinas.
Located near Flamingo Marina, this ocean-view estate pairs coastal lifestyle appeal with convenient access to boating, waterfront dining, beaches, shops, and marine services, all within a peaceful residential setting.
Ocean-view homes with pools, outdoor living areas, and separate guest spaces tend to be especially versatile, supporting full-time living, seasonal stays, extended family visits, and future rental use.
What sets this estate apart is that it offers two complete living environments rather than simply adding bedrooms to one large home. Each residence comes with its own kitchen, bathrooms, living areas, and terrace, giving the property room for both independence and shared experiences.
