Casa Pochote

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 $1,990,000 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 ensuite 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 sculpted retaining wall anchors the citrus and tropical fruit gardens, with a banana grove, orchards, and manicured walking paths extending 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.
