Playa Avellanas, Tamarindo, Santa Cruz, Guanacaste 50303, Costa Rica
Playa Avellanas represents a narrowing window of opportunity along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Just minutes from one of the country’s most pristine white-sand beaches, the area combines lush jungle surroundings, consistent world-class surf, and an increasingly sophisticated dining scene, all within just over one hour of Liberia International Airport.
Long known for its quiet and unspoiled character, Avellanas is now entering a period of measured and thoughtful growth. Infrastructure improvements are underway, including the construction of a paved coastal road, while a curated selection of restaurants and essential services has emerged. Despite this evolution, the area continues to preserve the authenticity and relaxed coastal atmosphere that made it desirable. Tamarindo, the region’s primary commercial and healthcare hub, is approximately 25 minutes away, offering supermarkets, medical services, nightlife, and daily conveniences.
Just three minutes from the entrance of Pochote Hills is Hacienda Pinilla, a premier destination featuring championship golf, tennis and pickleball courts, beach access, and more than 40 kilometers of biking and nature trails. The surrounding coastline is known for its reliable surf conditions, offering beach breaks, reef breaks, and river-mouth waves suitable for all levels, including the well-known Little Hawaii break. The region has also become a discreet culinary destination, with respected restaurants such as Villa Deveena and Mycelium in nearby Playa Negra, as well as Manta and the iconic beachfront Lola’s, reflecting the area’s growing sophistication.
Pochote Hills is a newly developed gated community comprised of only 41 homesites, located less than half a mile from the sands of Playa Avellanas. The project is guided by tropical modern design principles and built with first-class infrastructure, including concrete internal roads, underground utilities, and 24/7 guarded access. A formal homeowners association with clear bylaws ensures architectural cohesion, protected view corridors, and a long-term vision for the community.
Anchored by a majestic 150-year-old pochote tree at its entrance, the community reflects a deliberate respect for landscape, scale, and nature. Homesites throughout Pochote Hills enjoy a combination of ocean, mountain, and valley views, creating a sense of openness and elevation that is increasingly rare so close to the coastline. With approximately 70 percent of the community already sold, remaining lots range from roughly one-quarter to three-quarters of an acre, offering a limited and diverse selection of orientations and opportunities.
Lot 2 at Pochote Hills presents an excellent opportunity to secure land in one of Guanacaste’s most desirable emerging coastal enclaves, where location, infrastructure, and long-term value converge.
