Casa Los Roques | Ocean-View Home in Finca Los Pargos, Playa Negra

THE PROPERTY

Perched at one of the highest points in Finca Los Pargos, Casa Los Roques is an extraordinary architectural residence that celebrates light, landscape, and the raw beauty of Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline. Oriented toward the west, the home captures uninterrupted ocean views and spectacular sunsets that transform the horizon each evening. Surrounded by lush landscaping, the property is filled with fruit trees, vibrant flowering plants that attract butterflies and hummingbirds, and the exotic fragrance of two mature Ylang Ylang trees. Wake each morning to the sounds of howler monkeys and tropical birds in a setting that feels deeply connected to nature.

Designed by renowned architect Juan Ignacio Aranguren, a longtime collaborator of the late Zaha Hadid with more than 25 years of experience in residential architecture, the home combines fluid forms, natural materials, and thoughtful integration with the landscape. Local woods and coralina stone create warmth and authenticity, while expansive glass openings frame the surrounding forest and Pacific Ocean. The approach to the home creates a memorable sense of arrival, leading to a dramatic central living area where floor-to-ceiling glazing reveals breathtaking views that stretch from the infinity-edge pool to the endless blue horizon.

Offering approximately 3,552 square feet (330 m²) of indoor-outdoor living space, the residence is designed for both comfort and flexibility. The spacious living room and open wooden kitchen are oriented toward the ocean, creating an inspiring setting for everyday life. A custom sliding door crafted from locally sourced pochote wood allows the kitchen to be enclosed when desired while still preserving the stunning views. The home features three tranquil bedrooms, including a generous primary suite and a Jack-and-Jill suite with two bedrooms sharing a bathroom. A large playroom and television lounge provide a welcoming gathering space for family and friends, while a spacious office can easily serve as a fourth bedroom. A generously sized pantry and dedicated laundry area add convenience and functionality.

The seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living defines the experience at Casa Los Roques. A vast covered terrace extends from the main living spaces, creating the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or simply watching the changing colors of the sky at sunset. The infinity-edge pool appears to merge with the ocean beyond, while high ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and carefully positioned openings invite natural light and cooling breezes throughout the home.

Set on a sprawling 1.606-acre lot, the property offers ample room for future expansion. A large lower platform presents an ideal opportunity for a guest house, wellness studio, or income-producing rental unit, adding further value and versatility to the estate.

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Casa Los Roques enjoys exceptional privacy while remaining just five minutes from Playa Negra’s world-renowned surf break. The area offers access to some of Costa Rica’s most celebrated waves, as well as calm beaches ideal for swimming, exploring tide pools, and enjoying relaxed days by the sea. Located within the peaceful community of Finca Los Pargos, the property is surrounded by abundant wildlife and natural beauty. Approximately forty families live year-round in this tranquil neighborhood, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Playa Negra is cherished for its authentic coastal character, strong sense of community, excellent dining options, artisan coffee shops, and access to organic markets. It remains one of Guanacaste’s most desirable beach communities, combining a laid-back lifestyle with strong long-term appreciation potential. The home is conveniently located just minutes from multiple beaches, 15 minutes from Playa Avellanas, 30 minutes from Tamarindo, and approximately 80 minutes from Liberia International Airport, making it an ideal primary residence, vacation retreat, or investment opportunity.
