Two Private Three-Bedroom Residences

Terrazas del Sol consists of two separate three-bedroom residences within one connected estate. Each residence includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bathroom. Each side also has its own kitchen, living area, dining space, and ocean-view terrace.

This layout allows the property to function as one large six-bedroom estate. However, each residence can still maintain a strong sense of privacy. The spaces may be used together for extended family stays or arranged for multi-generational living. They can also remain separate for family members, guests, or shared use.

As a multi-family luxury residence in Guanacaste, Terrazas del Sol offers more flexibility than a traditional single-family home. Its layout supports both privacy and connection. Therefore, the property can adapt as residential needs change over time.

Ocean-View Interiors and Expansive Terraces

The interior spaces are positioned to keep the surrounding scenery at the center of the experience. Open living areas flow toward broad terraces where Playa Penca, the Catalina Islands, and the Pacific horizon create a dramatic natural backdrop.

These terraces provide inviting spaces for outdoor dining, quiet mornings, sunset gatherings, and relaxed daily living. Their elevated hillside position captures coastal breezes while allowing both residences to enjoy the views and maintain their independent character.

Recently upgraded throughout, the property provides a turnkey foundation for immediate use while preserving the flexibility of its duplex design.

Resort-Style Pool and Outdoor Entertaining

The outdoor living area is centered around a large resort-style swimming pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Positioned between the two residences, the pool creates a natural gathering point while complementing the property’s panoramic coastal setting.

A covered outdoor kitchen and barbecue pavilion extend the usable living space and provide a dedicated area for poolside dining, entertaining, and relaxed afternoons. The combination of shaded gathering areas, open terraces, and ocean views allows the outdoor spaces to be enjoyed throughout Playa Potrero’s tropical climate.

Caretaker Residence and Expansion Potential

An existing caretaker residence provides practical on-site accommodations for property maintenance, management, security, or additional support. This independent space enhances the estate’s functionality without occupying either of the principal three-bedroom residences.

The 1,689 m² lot also includes space that may accommodate an additional private casita, subject to applicable permits, infrastructure requirements, and municipal approvals. A future structure could serve as a guest residence, private suite, wellness studio, office, or additional accommodation.

The caretaker residence and space for an additional casita further support the property’s long-term flexibility.

Investment Potential

Terrazas del Sol offers a flexible property configuration suitable for a private coastal residence, vacation home, multi-generational estate, or future income-producing use.

The two connected three-bedroom residences can function together as one six-bedroom property or remain as separate living environments. This creates options for extended family stays, private guest accommodations, shared use, personal occupancy, or future vacation-rental operations.

Its dual-residence design provides a practical foundation for an income-producing property in Playa Potrero, with the potential to use one residence independently or operate the full estate as a larger accommodation. The property’s independent layout and resort-style amenities further strengthen its appeal for a range of ownership and occupancy strategies.
