Casa Pochote: Artisan Luxury Villa in Tamarindo | Pool, Jacuzzi & Langosta Beach Club Membership Included

Description

There are homes for sale in Tamarindo. And then there is Casa Pochote — a unicorn. Nestled on more than an acre of sculpted tropical grounds inside the gated community of Rancho Villareal, Casa Pochote was not built to blend in. Every surface, every material, every object was chosen with intention. This is a fully furnished, collector's home — a living work of art — offered at $2,000,000 USD. A Home Unlike Any Other From the moment you arrive, it is clear that no expense was spared and no shortcut was taken. The tiles and fountain at the entrance are custom and handmade by Mosaicos San Antonio — the same artisan studio responsible for the floors of the bar and game room, the hallways leading to each bedroom suite, the tile surrounding the pool rancho and papyrus wall, the staircase fountain, and every piece of blue tilework in the canopy room. This is not mass-produced material. Each piece is one of a kind. The indoor bar features a backlit onyx backsplash — a dramatic, luminous centerpiece that anchors the home's social heart. The outdoor bar was crafted from hand-carved pochote wood, a rare native hardwood that gives the space an irreplaceable, deeply local character. The Art Collection Included in the sale is a curated collection of works woven throughout the home. Custom murals, hand-woven Argentine carpets, and a rare collection of authentic Boruka ceremonial masks — the handmade masks used in the traditional Dance of the Diablos — are woven throughout the home, making every room a cultural experience. Casa Pochote does not just sit in Costa Rica. It tells its story. The Residence Spanning 447 square meters across two stories, the villa offers five en-suite bedroom suites — king, king, two doubles, two queens, and a fifth king — each with private balcony or garden terrace access. Three outdoor showers, two additional half-bathrooms, soaring vaulted ceilings, sliding glass doors, and natural wood finishes throughout create a seamless flow between the interior and the surrounding tropical landscape. The Outdoor Experience The grounds are a destination in themselves. A $150,000 retaining wall anchors the sculpted citrus and tropical fruit gardens — and that figure covers only the infrastructure, not the plants. A banana grove, orchards, and manicured walking paths extend across the property. The 14-meter infinity pool and private jacuzzi sit at the center of it all, surrounded by multiple al fresco dining and lounge areas. The pool rancho houses a fully outfitted outdoor bar — wine fridge, ice maker, deluxe BBQ, and pizza oven — built for legendary entertaining. The Game Room Anchoring the home's entertainment wing is a $20,000 pinball machine imported directly from the United States — one of countless details that signals Casa Pochote operates at a category of its own. Langosta Beach Club — $25,000 Membership Included Ownership of Casa Pochote includes a transferable VIP membership to the exclusive Langosta Beach Club — a $25,000 value included in the purchase price. Enjoy secured parking, full gym and pool access, and 24-hour advance priority reservations for poolside cabanas. The beach club delivers world-class surf, Pacific sunsets, and Tamarindo's finest beach scene directly to your lifestyle. The Investment Case Rated ★5.0 on Airbnb and producing over $200,000 in documented short-term rental income over the last 12 months, Casa Pochote doesn't just perform on paper — it performs. For buyers seeking both a world-class residence and a proven income-producing asset, this property delivers on both fronts. Infrastructure & Security The property sits within a 24-hour secured gated community. A one-car garage, two LG WashTower laundry units, a private gym, dedicated home office, fully equipped gourmet kitchen, and high-speed internet complete the offering. All utilities — water, sewer, electricity, internet, and telephone — are fully connected. Location Tamarindo, in the Santa Cruz district of Guanacaste, is Costa Rica's premier Pacific destination — world-class surfing, sport fishing, fine dining, and international connectivity all within minutes. The Liberia International Airport (LIR) is approximately 90 minutes away. Casa Pochote is not just a home. It is a record.
