About This Property
Casa Cacao – 4 Bedroom Home with Infinity Pool in Playa Potrero Costa Rica
Casa Cacao is a 4 bedroom home with an infinity pool in Playa Potrero, set on 5,432 m² (about 1.3 acres) of private hillside land. Many homes near the beach here sit on lots of around 540 m². Casa Cacao has about ten times that, including an additional lot with a ready-to-build pad for a guest house or second rental later.
Built in 2024 and sold fully furnished for $549,000, the home has 200 m² (about 2,153 sq ft) of living space and is ready to live in or rent from day one. The infinity pool spills over a slate-tiled edge, and the terrace and bedrooms open straight onto it. It’s quiet and green up here, and Playa Potrero beach and Playa Flamingo are still only a five-minute drive away.

About Casa Cacao
The living room, dining area and kitchen share one open space. Floor-to-ceiling windows run along the hillside side, so the greenery feels like part of the room and the house stays bright all day.
The kitchen has a large island, clean-lined cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances. It works for a quiet breakfast or for cooking while friends gather around.
The primary suite opens onto its own terrace and has a walk-in closet and a spa-style bathroom. Three more bedrooms, most with space for a desk, leave room for family, guests, remote work or rental use. Everything is on one level, with no stairs to climb.
Outside, a long covered terrace with a wood ceiling and ceiling fans runs the length of the house, with an outdoor kitchen at one end. Stone steps lead up through planted beds to the pool, set against the natural rock of the hillside.
Floor Plan
Casa Cacao is a single-level home with 200 m² (about 2,153 sq ft) of living space. The open kitchen, living and dining area sits at the center, with the primary suite and its double-vanity bathroom on one side, three more bedrooms and two bathrooms around it, and a long covered terrace with an outdoor kitchen across the back.

Investment Potential of This 4 Bedroom Home with Infinity Pool in Playa Potrero
For buyers looking at investment property in Playa Potrero, Casa Cacao works now and leaves room to grow.

Later, the additional lot gives you space for a second rental unit or a casita for family, without buying more land.

Location & Accessibility of This 4 Bedroom Home with Infinity Pool in Playa Potrero
Casa Cacao is in the hills of Playa Potrero, a five-minute drive from Playa Potrero beach and Playa Flamingo. Marina Flamingo is around 10 minutes away, and grocery stores, cafés and restaurants are all within 5 to 10 minutes.
Las Catalinas is about 20 minutes away and Tamarindo is 35 to 40 minutes. Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport in Liberia is about an hour’s drive.
With 5,432 m² of private hillside land, Casa Cacao offers space for a poolside retreat and a future guest house while keeping beaches, dining and marina activities close by. This combination of land, privacy and coastal convenience gives the property a distinct appeal within the Guanacaste real estate market.
Lifestyle & Market Insight
Playa Potrero is quieter than Flamingo or Tamarindo. Days here start with a walk on the beach and end with sunset over the bay. Flamingo’s restaurants, the marina and boat trips are still minutes away, so you can live simply without giving anything up.
The community is a mix of full-time residents, families and seasonal owners. Casa Cacao suits buyers who want space and quiet rather than a busy beach street: families working remotely who need room to spread out, couples planning a slower chapter in a single-level home, and owners who want a place to enjoy for part of the year and rent the rest. Interest in turnkey homes here has held steady as tourism and infrastructure in the region have grown.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Casa Cacao from the beach?
About five minutes by car to Playa Potrero beach and Playa Flamingo, and about an hour to Liberia International Airport.
What is included with the additional lot?
The property totals 5,432 m² (about 1.3 acres) on a single title, including an additional lot with a ready-to-build pad. The land cannot be subdivided, but the pad gives you room for a casita, studio or guest house, subject to permits.
Can Casa Cacao be used as a vacation rental?
Yes. We can connect you with a local property manager for a rental estimate based on this specific home.
Can I see the home if I’m not in Costa Rica yet?
Yes. We offer live video tours, so you can walk through the home, terrace and grounds from wherever you are and plan an in-person visit around your next trip.
Can foreigners buy property in Costa Rica?
Yes. Foreigners can own titled property in Costa Rica with the same rights as citizens, and residency is not required to buy. Your attorney will confirm the details for your purchase.
What are the closing costs?
Closing costs in Costa Rica usually run about 3.5% to 5% of the purchase price, including transfer tax, registry fees and notary fees. We can share an estimate for this property.
Is the entire property on one level?
The home’s interior is on one level, with the bedrooms, kitchen and living areas on the same floor. Outside, stone steps lead up to the pool, so the grounds include changes in elevation.
What should I consider before offering Casa Cacao as a vacation rental?
The home is sold fully furnished, which reduces the initial furnishing work. Before welcoming guests, review the included inventory, operating costs, property management arrangements and applicable rental requirements. A local property manager can provide a home-specific rental estimate.
How should I assess Casa Cacao’s value in the local market?
Consider the full package: a four-bedroom home built in 2024, furnishings, a private infinity pool, 5,432 m² of land and an additional building pad. Comparing homes with similar land, condition, access and amenities provides a more useful perspective than interior price per square meter alone.
