Where Coastal Elegance Meets Active Living in Paradise
Welcome to Pickle on the Hill, a luxury estate unlike any other in Costa Rica. Perched in the exclusive gated community of Mar Vista, just minutes from the powdery sands of Playa Flamingo, this rare offering seamlessly blends refined architecture, vibrant outdoor living, and one of the region’s most coveted amenities—a professionally designed private pickleball court.
With panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, lush tropical gardens, and a private guest apartment, this estate offers the perfect balance of sophistication, serenity, and recreation. Whether you’re looking for real estate for sale in Mar Vista as a permanent residence, seasonal escape, or smart investment, Pickle on the Hill is a must-see for discerning buyers seeking the extraordinary.
Elevated Living with Ocean Vistas and Elegant Design
The main residence invites you through a beautifully landscaped entry and into a gracious 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home where every detail has been considered. From the soaring vaulted hardwood ceilings to the seamless indoor-outdoor flow, this home is designed to elevate everyday living.
At the center of the residence, the gourmet kitchen stands out as a true showpiece. Outfitted with premium stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and an oversized island, it’s an entertainer’s dream that transitions effortlessly into the open-concept living and dining areas. Large sliding glass doors reveal expansive patios, ocean breezes, and the lush greenery that makes Mar Vista a sanctuary for nature lovers.
The primary suite is a private retreat, offering multiple seating areas, sweeping views of the coastline, and a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom complete with a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a walk-in rain shower. Two additional guest bedrooms—each with their own full bath and outdoor access—ensure that friends and family experience the same level of comfort and luxury.
An Outdoor Oasis with Unmatched Amenities
Step outside and discover a world built for both relaxation and play. A multi-level pool invites you to unwind under the sun or stars, surrounded by swaying palms and tropical blooms. Multiple lounging areas, stone pathways, and shaded patios provide the ideal setting for sunset cocktails or afternoon siestas.
But the crown jewel? A private, professionally built pickleball court—a rare and exciting amenity in the luxury homes in Mar Vista. Whether you're an avid player or simply enjoy the social energy of the sport, this feature transforms your backyard into a hub of active living and fun.
Separate Guest Apartment: Privacy Meets Possibility
Ideal for hosting extended family, friends, or even generating rental income, the independent 2-bedroom apartment offers complete privacy and thoughtful design. A separate paver driveway, covered carport, and gated entrance lead to a space that mirrors the main home in quality and comfort.
Guests will enjoy a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a comfortable living area, and an expansive observation deck with jaw-dropping ocean views. The principal bedroom captures Costa Rica’s natural beauty with sliding doors to the outdoors, while the second bedroom functions flexibly with a Murphy bed—perfect for an office, gym, or additional sleeping quarters.
An outdoor kitchen, shaded lounge area, and coralina-tiled shower complete the experience, offering the feel of a boutique resort—all within your own estate.
Prime Location in the Heart of Mar Vista
Pickle on the Hill is ideally located within the prestigious Mar Vista community, one of Costa Rica’s most desirable addresses for high-net-worth individuals. Known for its master-planned design and unmatched amenities, Mar Vista offers residents an ocean-view clubhouse and infinity pool, Gracia Restaurant with sunset dining, tennis and pickleball courts, a state-of-the-art gym, yoga pavilion, and miles of scenic hiking and biking trails.
Families will appreciate the proximity to La Paz Community School—located within the development—and Costa Rica International Academy (CRIA), just a 10-minute drive away. For travel convenience, Liberia International Airport is only an hour away, offering direct flights to and from major cities in North America and Europe.
Nearby, Playa Flamingo, Playa Conchal, and Tamarindo offer golden beaches, fine dining, boutique shopping, and vibrant nightlife—ensuring you’re never far from the pulse of Costa Rica’s Gold Coast.
A Rare Investment Opportunity on the Rise
In addition to being a dream home, Pickle on the Hill presents compelling investment potential. Luxury homes in Mar Vista have seen steady appreciation over the past decade, with demand driven by a limited inventory of high-end properties, increasing international interest, and year-round rental demand.
The estate’s separate guest apartment, sought-after location, and standout amenities—especially the private pickleball court—position it as a high-performing rental option for vacationers seeking upscale accommodations with unique experiences.
