Junquillal Dream Home (Beachfront)
Playa Junquillal | 4,000 sq ft | 7 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms | $950,000
An exceptional and idyllic beachfront property, with an incredible 3/4 acres titled to 50 meters above the high-tide line, this Junquillal Dream Home is among the minuscule number of Costa Rican beachfront properties (already a small number, itself) titled all the way to the beach.
(Fact check: There are only a few lots – and even fewer luxury homes in Costa Rica – with titles to the 50-meter line on the market at any given time. This is one of those scarce few!)
And if you’re dream doesn’t stop at 0.75 acres of titled beachfront on spectacular Playa Junquillal, then you’ll be delighted to know that this dream home is the full package: Featuring 4,000 square feet of under-roof space, this spacious villa unfolds over three levels, six bedrooms, and spectacular Pacific Ocean views.
There is an additional 1-bedroom caretaker home, plus garages, a grow house, and other structures.

Casa de las Olas is a masterpiece of a home, offering 3 bedrooms + office, 3.5 baths, and unique architectural details, including teak wood vaulted ceilings. Lounge on your master-bedroom private deck with ocean views – or switch it out for your ocean-view balcony and upstairs covered balcony, with a built-in grill, outdoor dining, and spectacular Pacific vistas.
