Villa Santa Cruz (Costa Rica)

Just a few minutes from the legendary waves of Playa Negra, Rancho Coco unfolds as a quiet hideaway set within a full hectare of tropical forest. Sunlight filters through the canopy, the air carries the scent of the ocean, and the atmosphere immediately shifts into a slower, softer rhythm. It is the kind of place where time stretches and the Pacific becomes part of daily life.The estate was designed as a private compound, bringing together a four-bedroom main home, two self-contained apartments and a caretaker’s residence. Every space follows a fresh coastal aesthetic, thoughtfully crafted to appeal to guests who appreciate comfort blended with understated elegance. The main home welcomes eight people across its master and junior suites, while the studios are fully equipped to function as independent long- or short-term rentals.Across this expansive property, a number of rare features stand out: a two-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-liter water tank, a large garage and workshop built strong enough to support an additional residence on its roof, and fruit trees scattered throughout the grounds. A vast roofed terrace next to the apartments provides a flexible setting for gatherings, workouts, creative sessions or any activity that calls for space and shelter. Privacy is exceptional here, enhanced by the property’s location inside an exclusive gated community surrounded by native forest.Rancho Coco is a place to live, to host and to grow. A sanctuary where nature, serenity and rental potential come together, offering space for more than twenty guests while preserving a peaceful sense of retreat. It is an invitation to experience a gentler way of life shaped by forest, ocean and simplicity.
