Villa Romántica - Masión en Carrillo Set on 59,168 m² of private land overlooking Playa Carrillo Bay and the Pacific Ocean, Villa Romántica offers a rare combination of privacy, scale, and accessibility in one of Guanacaste's most desirable coastal locations. Positioned within Villas Playa Roble, an established residential community known for its Mediterranean-inspired homes and expansive estates, this property enjoys sweeping ocean views, year-round sunsets, and seasonal sightings of whales and dolphins along the coastline. Elevated approximately 500 feet above sea level and surrounded by tropical forest, the estate captures panoramic views across Playa Carrillo Bay and the surrounding coastline. The setting provides a strong sense of privacy while remaining close to the services, restaurants, and amenities of Puerto Carrillo and nearby Sámara. Villas Playa Roble was conceived by an Italian developer who envisioned a residential community inspired by Mediterranean architecture and built to high construction standards. The result is a collection of distinctive residences set within a coastal landscape where mature vegetation, generous lot sizes, and carefully planned homes create a refined residential environment. The community occupies a privileged position above the coastline and offers convenient access to nearby beaches, tide pools, and nature trails. With approximately 1,000 m² of construction, Villa Romántica was designed for comfortable living, entertaining, and extended stays with family and guests. The residence combines Mediterranean architectural influences with open living spaces that embrace natural light, ocean breezes, and the surrounding landscape. The property offers five bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Three bedrooms are located within the main residence, including the primary suite with direct views over the bay. Additional living spaces include a dedicated office, media room, climate-controlled wine cellar, and multiple indoor and outdoor gathering areas designed to accommodate both intimate family living and larger social occasions. At the center of the home, the infinity-edge pool overlooks Playa Carrillo Bay, creating a natural focal point for outdoor living. Covered terraces, dining areas, and lounge spaces take full advantage of the property's elevated position, offering an ideal setting to enjoy sunsets throughout the year. During migration season, whales and dolphins can often be observed moving through the waters below. A separate two-bedroom guest residence provides additional flexibility for hosting family and friends. Currently occupied by the property's caretaker couple, this independent living space was originally designed as guest accommodations and remains an important asset for future owners. The estate underwent a significant renovation and expansion in 2010, incorporating a media room, wine cellar, enhanced entertainment areas, and extensive landscaping. Mediterranean-inspired gardens, outdoor social spaces, a traditional wood-fired oven, greenhouse, vegetable garden, storage facilities, and utility infrastructure contribute to the property's functionality while reinforcing its character as a long-term family estate. One of Villa Romántica's most compelling attributes is the scale and usability of the land itself. The property extends along a ridge with multiple areas that may accommodate additional residences or guest accommodations, subject to applicable permits and regulations. This flexibility makes the estate well suited as a private residence, a multi-generational family compound, a luxury rental property, or a combination of all three. The surrounding region has become one of Costa Rica's most sought-after destinations for both full-time residents and vacation homeowners.
