THE PROPERTY
Villa El Encanto is a fantastic, 4-bedroom / 4.5-bath home that beams with personality. Located
on a half-acre homesite within Reserva de Golf | Hacienda Pinilla, this home is approximately 10
minutes walking to the Pacific Ocean and J.W. Marriott Resort. Reserva de Golf is adjacent to
holes 4, 5, & 6, and enjoys private gated entry with 24/7 live security, paved roads, underground
infrastructure, and a community park with tropical landscaping, footpaths, and a zen-like
fountain.
The entrance of Villa El Encanto speaks to its uniqueness and charm. A brilliant, oversized Teak
and Laurel hardwood door with a turquoise resin sets a welcoming and playful tone as it reveals
the spacious, indoor/ outdoor floor plan with custom wood furniture and colorful décor. The
magnificent dining room with a large Guanacaste wooden table and resin fill enjoys the
authentic Masaya woven chairs from Nicaragua.
The professional kitchen includes quartz countertops, native hardwood cabinets, a single deep
bar sink, and stainless steel GE appliances. The principal 3,300 sq. ft. home features 3 bedrooms
flanked on the west side and spa-like indoor / outdoor garden showers in all bathrooms. The
Master bedroom has a spacious walk-in closet and interlocking glass-sliding doors which view
the pool and mature garden. The hardwood, solid-core Laurel doors were custom made for this
residence and extremely durable through Guanacaste’s dry and wet seasons. Furthermore, a
multi-use “Bonus Room” is behind the garage door with the same porcelain tile as the interior,
is air conditioned, and could function as the property’s 5th bedroom, a game room, covered
garage, or home office.
Giant sliding glass doors seamlessly connect the great room to the magnificent 667 sq. ft pool
and outdoor covered rancho (measuring 900ft2) equipped with a wine cooler and 9-person bar.
The colorful kitchen backsplash with imported tiles and high bamboo ceilings give this outdoor
living space a special charm to immerse yourself in tropical poolside living.
On the opposite side of the rancho and wrapping around the pool is the fully-equipped guest
home measuring 1,200 sq. ft. The guest home is independent from the main home to provide
extra privacy and features its own patio. Guest houses are ideal for the Airbnb rental market
and can also provide an intimate space for guests or in-laws. This casita is accessible by a private
walk path from the driveway for extra privacy.
Villa Encanto’s homesite has been intentionally backfilled and compacted 35cm above street
level for optimal rainwater drainage. The impeccable landscape enjoys several native specimen
trees including Mango, Avocado, a giant Guanacaste, and exotic palms which hide a subtle
black-lattice perimeter wall (1.2 meters in height) to enclose the property. Enjoy daily visits
from the patrols of Howler monkeys that live in the canopies above. Due to the extreme wet
and dry seasons in Guanacaste, grass has been replaced with a crushed white-rock and river
rock aggregate to lower water consumption throughout the dry months. Over 2000 trees,
plants, and shrubs were planted during construction to create a tropical oasis.
Every piece of furniture in this property was hand selected and custom made for the home. The
home is smart tech ready with security cameras and motion sensors.
HOA is $350 per month
