Property Description

Tucked into one of the most picturesque corners of Las Catalinas, Guanacaste, Casa Encanto is a rare opportunity to own a luxury residence that blends sophisticated design with breathtaking natural beauty. Priced at $2,900,000 USD, this three-story estate, located at 11 Calle Virginia, offers 4,800 square feet (473 sqm) of refined indoor-outdoor living space on a 318 sqm lot. Built in 2020, and meticulously maintained, this 4-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home reflects a harmonious fusion of traditional architecture and modern comfort, creating an experience that is both elegant and deeply personal.

Designed by renowned Town Architect Juan Carlos Avelar, Casa Encanto draws architectural inspiration from Antigua, Guatemala, the Canary Islands, Cartagena, and Lima, incorporating timeless elements such as arched arcades, handcrafted wooden balconies, and a multi-tiered terraced facade. Its orientation—facing northwest—offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and dramatic sunsets, making every evening a natural spectacle.

The home is strategically positioned at a unique widening of Calle Virginia, at the end of a stairway street that links Paseo Árbol to Calle Cartagena. This not only enhances its visibility and accessibility within the townscape, but also provides a peaceful, elevated setting that feels both connected and exclusive.

Upon arrival, a gently curving staircase leads through lush landscaping to the main terrace, where guests are welcomed by a five-arched arcade, offering a sense of grandeur and continuity. The main level is built for living and entertaining: a plunge pool, BBQ area, and outdoor dining space create the ideal setting for tropical gatherings, while large living areas flow seamlessly into an open-concept kitchen, illuminated by natural light and cooled by cross ventilation. A private guest bedroom with access to the garden patio completes this floor, providing comfort and privacy.

The second floor is an intimate and restful space, featuring two ocean-view bedrooms, a bunk room, and a family lounge that opens onto a lighter wooden balcony, continuing the home’s traditional design narrative. The ground level features a fully independent media room with its own kitchenette and bathroom, perfect for visiting guests or cozy movie nights.

Casa Encanto is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle. Just 8 minutes from Potrero Beach, 12 minutes from the prestigious Flamingo Marina, and 1 hour and 20 minutes from Liberia International Airport, the location offers world-class convenience wrapped in serene coastal charm. As part of the Las Catalinas community, residents enjoy access to walkable plazas, boutique shops, cafés, hiking and biking trails, and some of the most pristine beaches in Costa Rica. Whether you are looking for a full-time tropical residence, a legacy family home, or a premium rental investment, Casa Encanto delivers timeless elegance, inspired design, and a sense of place that is simply unforgettable.
