5 Bedroom Luxury Home for Sale, Playa Hermosa, Santa Teresa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Stunning Architect-Designed Home Above Playa Hermosa

Located above Playa Hermosa, minutes from Santa Teresa in Puntarenas, this stunning architect-designed home offers a distinctive interpretation of contemporary tropical living and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape – perfect whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a luxurious vacation home, or a property with income-generating potential.

Set on a 2,469 square meter (0.61 acre) lot, this home offers approximately 4,198 square feet (390 square meters) of interior living space including 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms (5 full, 1 half).

Natural Materials and Regional Craftsmanship
The design draws on the enduring forms and raw beauty of ancient Latin American architecture. Locally sourced Pacific cedar, Nicaraguan brick and hand-applied chukum stucco bring warmth, texture and a distinctly regional character to the contemporary forms.

A Residence Composed of Separate Pavilions
Rather than a single conventional structure, the residence is composed of several independent pavilions linked by open-air walkways, landscaped areas and water elements — so moving between spaces becomes part of the experience of living here. The main pavilion is the primary gathering space, with a sunken circular conversation lounge, dining area and chef’s kitchen arranged in an open layout that opens directly onto the surrounding terraces. A separate pavilion provides additional living space including a media room and office, while two further pavilions contain the five private bedroom suites, each positioned for comfort, privacy and views over the tropical surroundings.

Two Sculptural Pyramids at the Pool
The pool area is defined by two asymmetrical pyramid structures that work as both architectural focal points and functional spaces, providing areas for relaxing, sunbathing and socializing while housing wellness amenities including a sauna and a cold plunge.

Amenities & Features
Beyond the swimming pool and wellness facilities, the property includes extensive outdoor and entertainment areas, and comes with features such as air conditioning in the bedrooms, covered parking, a water well and Starlink internet.

Minutes from Santa Teresa’s Surf Breaks
Playa Hermosa is among the most desirable areas near Santa Teresa, placing the property just minutes from renowned surf breaks and beautiful beaches.
