The Location

Set in the exclusive Las Golondrinas beachfront community at Hacienda Pinilla, Beach Resort and Residential Community, this exquisite custom home provides direct access to world-class beaches, surfing, championship golf, tennis, sport-fishing and equestrian facilities. The 5-Star JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa is 1K from the residence. The home is 15 minutes from the vibrant town of Tamarindo with all of its shops, fine dining and nightlife, while the International Airport in Liberia and several National Parks and volcanoes are 1 hour away

The Property

The lovely residence is set within a beautifully landscaped 2014m2 ( 1/2 acre) site, complemented by mature specimen trees and lush landscaping. The driveway is inlaid with intricate patterns of native slate and antique brick. Taking full advantage of the homes direct southern exposure, the infinity edge salt-filtered swimming pool, serves as the central water feature in true Spanish architectural tradition. It blends with the home's main exterior terrace and a covered Pool Pavilion, with bathroom, shower and outdoor grill, to form an extensive outdoor Social Area for entertaining friends and family. An ample Garage and Carport provide both shelter and storage for vehicles and equipment

The Residence

Featured in several international design publications, "Casa Orquidea" was designed by California architect Miguel Podolsky and custom built engineer Karl Gronemeyer. The delightful 6-bedroom/4.5-bath residence offers two Master Suites and nearly 6,000 sq. ft. of exquisite Spanish Colonial architecture and fine finishes. The open floor plan with a traditional aesthetic showcases old world craftsmanship: and timeless design elements, resulting in an innovative design that is well thought out, practical and imaginative. The distinctively Spanish style melds with the finest materials and finishes to create spaces that are inviting and eclectic; sophisticated yet comfortable.
