Casa Rico: Exquisite Luxury Mountain Retreat in Playa Grande

Where Luxury Meets Nature’s Majesty

Welcome to Casa Rico, an extraordinary 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom estate nestled in the serene hills of Playa Grande, Costa Rica. Spanning nearly 1.8 acres, this mountain retreat combines the essence of tropical luxury with the vibrant family surf culture that makes Playa Grande one of the best places to live in Costa Rica.

Built by a renowned Costa Rican developer with deep roots in the Canadian luxury market, Casa Rico reflects a commitment to both superior quality and the natural beauty of its surroundings. It is a home designed to impress, yet equally warm and inviting—a rare find among properties for sale in Playa Grande.

Spacious Design with Thoughtful Details

Step inside and feel immediately welcomed by the vast vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light streaming through upper windows and sliding glass doors. The open-concept great room features:

  • A large sectional sofa, perfect for gatherings

  • Sleek black ceiling fans adding contrast to the bamboo hardwood floors

  • An impressive 8-person dining table crafted from a single slab of Guanacaste wood

  • Warm textures and clean lines that create an atmosphere of understated sophistication

The chef’s kitchen is equally striking, featuring top-of-the-line appliances including a Thermador gas stove and Fisher Paykel cooktop and refrigerator with custom wood cabinet fronts. The huge island doubles as a breakfast bar, while quartz countertops with waterfall edges and unique tile floors elevate the entire space. A spacious pantry ensures everything is organized and within reach.

 

Indoor Comfort Flows to Outdoor Paradise

Slide open the glass doors and step into your private Costa Rican dream. The large covered patio is ideal for entertaining or quiet mornings, featuring:

  • An outdoor dining area and grill station

  • A warm salt-water pool perfect for swimming any time of day

  • Sweeping views of manicured lawns and the majestic mountains beyond

Whether hosting sunset dinners, relaxing in the pool, or gathering around the firepit under a blanket of stars, Casa Rico offers a lifestyle defined by both elegance and authentic connection to nature.

 

Elegant Bedrooms and Private Retreats

The principal suite is a show-stopper, with:

  • French doors leading to a private office area

  • An accent wall that adds texture and depth

  • Sliding glass doors that open to mountain views

  • An en-suite bathroom with dual vanities, a rain shower, standalone tub, and panoramic vistas

Four additional bedrooms and a separate movie/game room provide space for family, guests, or even a future yoga or art studio.

 

Limitless Potential for Expansion

Built on an expansive 1.8-acre lot, Casa Rico offers room to grow. Imagine:

  • Charming guest casitas to create a family compound or short-term rental retreat

  • A private sports court for pickleball or tennis
