Design, Innovate, Elevate | 5-Star Ocean Views in Playa Tamarindo – 12F

The Location

Tamarindo first gained popularity in the mid 90’s with the surf flick, The Endless Summer 2. Since then, there has been a steady growth of tourists and investors visiting the area. Tamarindo is located in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica in the Northwest portion. It is the driest region of the country (300 days of sunshine yearly) and boasts the reputation of having the most beautiful beaches paired with incredible waves for surfers. You can walk from one end of Tamarindo to the other in about 20 minutes  with over 50 restaurants, bars, clinics, fine dining, yoga, boutique shopping, and grocery stores. Several bi-lingual private schools are within 30 min from Tamarindo center. Liberia International airport is 1 hour away and international bi-ligual schools are readily available.

The Development

Los Senderos is a private, gated community with sweeping views of the Pacific, the National Marine Park’s beaches and estuary, and the town of Tamarindo, Costa Rica’s surf capital. The mountain and valley homes were designed by internationally renowned architects with an environmentally sensitive aesthetic and ethos.  All properties designed in Los Senderos are built specifically for each terrain with no two alike. The “Natural Modern” design focuses on clean lines, uncluttered spaces, visual clarity and simplicity. The architects envision flat or low sloping roof lines versus peaked rooflines, structural elements exposed rather than hidden, open floor plans as opposed to strict room divisions. The intention of “no-two-alike” is exactly what creates an organic, natural population of homes. Every home is influenced by Natural Modern design, but like every custom home, the design style must also be interpreted and applied in a way that reflects the lifestyle, inspirations and desires of the client. Just outside the gates of Senderos are the region’s premier gourmet grocery, oceanfront dining and the Senderos Beach Club.

The Residence

Award winning designer Richard Muller and team were tasked with creating an estate-like home on the largest and most expansive home site in the Las Crestas development within Senderos. Stunning and spacious courtyard entry yard and driveway with a properly “grand” entry to the home itself. A huge gourmet kitchen and social/entertainment area blends the indoor dining area seamlessly with large outdoor terraces.

This home boasts five master bedroom suites (all full baths en-suite), a full one bedroom apartment for nanny/service guests, gym/yoga room, game room, outdoor kitchen palapa, a three car garage and more.

This home was built to entertain! Step outside and take in the grand terraces and gardens that make up the outdoor areas. The huge outdoor covered living and dining area plus outdoor gourmet kitchen and BBQ areas are adjacent to the infinity pool featuring a 15 Meter/50 foot “Lap Pool” within.   This is a large home designed for the discerning client who wants room to spread out and breathe in the tropical air with privacy, lifestyle and security.
