Private Estate for Sale in Santa Teresa: 5 Houses and Ocean Views

A private estate with five independent houses, ocean views, three saltwater pools and walking access to the beach brings together several compelling features for buyers considering Santa Teresa.

Offered at $2,900,000, this private estate for sale in Santa Teresa occupies approximately 4,990 m² of titled land. The listing describes more than 791 m² of total built space and separately records 8,611 square feet of floor area.

The compound includes five independent residences, 12 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms and two half bathrooms, together with a dedicated yoga shala and substantial supporting infrastructure.

For an international buyer, the opportunity goes beyond owning one luxury home. The estate offers a configuration to investigate for multigenerational living, rental accommodation, a wellness or surf retreat, or a combination of personal occupation and rental use.

Why This Santa Teresa Private Estate Is Different

The defining feature is the accommodation configuration: five independent residences within one private estate.

The compound consists of three principal houses, a jungle bungalow and a caretaker’s house. Separate living spaces provide flexibility for owners, extended family, guests and potential rental occupants.

The estate also includes three saltwater swimming pools, a 60 m² yoga shala, a 24 m² bodega and laundry room, landscaped grounds and access through a private road ending at the property.

The combination of land, residences, amenities and supporting infrastructure creates a different ownership proposition from a conventional villa.

Five Houses Within One Private Estate

The five residences are central to the estate’s flexibility. Each provides its own accommodation, allowing different family groups or guests to occupy separate spaces within the wider grounds.

House 1

House 1 offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two floors, a private saltwater pool and ocean views. Its approximately 262 m² of combined indoor and outdoor space includes 172 m² indoors and 90 m² outdoors. The listing describes accommodation for up to eight guests.

House 2 With Guesthouse

House 2 and its guesthouse provide three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private saltwater pool and ocean views. The approximately 244 m² configuration comprises 107 m² in the main house, 112 m² of outdoor space and a 25 m² guesthouse. The listing describes accommodation for up to eight guests.

House 3

House 3 has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two kitchens, together with its own private saltwater pool. The listing presents the residence as an option for extended family accommodation or independent rental use, with capacity for up to six guests.

Jungle Bungalow

The jungle bungalow provides two bedrooms and one bathroom across approximately 60 m², including 50 m² indoors and 10 m² outdoors. Its secluded setting offers a separate accommodation option for up to four guests.

Caretaker’s House

The caretaker’s house includes one bedroom, one bathroom and its own kitchen. Approximately 50 m² of combined indoor and outdoor space provides accommodation that could support management of the estate.

Together, these residences allow owners, extended family and guests to maintain independent living areas while sharing the wider property.

 

Walking Distance to the Beach

The estate is described as being within walking distance of the beach in North Santa Teresa. Access is through a private road ending at the property, connected to the main road by a servidumbre de paso, or access easement, approximately 50 metres away.

For family ownership, beach proximity offers convenient access to the Pacific coast. For a prospective rental operator, it is a location feature to assess alongside the accommodation, guest experience and operating arrangements.

This is a property with walking access to the beach. It is not marketed as directly beachfront.

Ocean Views and Tropical Privacy

Ocean views are identified in the property listing, with Houses 1 and 2 specifically described as having views towards the Pacific.

The estate also has a tropical setting, landscaped grounds and jungle views among its listed features. This combination gives buyers an opportunity to consider both outlook and the experience of living within substantial green surroundings.

During a viewing, assess the views from each residence, the relationship between the houses and the privacy of their terraces, pools and shared spaces.

The Water Infrastructure

Water supply deserves careful consideration for an estate containing five residences and three swimming pools.

The property is described as having a dual water supply through an AyA municipal connection and a 20 metre artisanal well, supported by a 20,000 litre storage tank.

For buyers considering full time occupation, multiple households or hospitality operations, these systems form an important part of the ownership assessment.

Request the AyA connection details, well documentation, relevant water rights, storage specifications, maintenance history and operating costs. Have the condition and capacity of the system assessed for your intended use.

Solar Power and Fibre Internet

The estate has an ICE electricity connection and solar panels installed on each roof. The listing also identifies 100 Mbps ICE fibre optic internet.

Connectivity can support remote working, extended stays and guest accommodation. Grid electricity and solar generation also form part of the infrastructure serving the residences.

Review electricity bills, solar installation records, equipment condition, internet service arrangements and coverage across the estate before estimating running costs or planning guest services.

 

A Luxury Multigenerational Compound

For a family seeking a Costa Rica base, the separate residences offer a practical way to bring several generations together.

Parents, adult children, extended family and visitors can occupy different houses while remaining within the same estate. That separation may be useful for longer stays, different daily routines and hosting guests.

The three pools, gardens, yoga shala and outdoor spaces provide areas for shared activities. Buyers can assess how the layout would work for their family, including accessibility, supervision, housekeeping and ongoing maintenance.

Could This Become a Luxury Rental Portfolio?

The estate is marketed as fully furnished and income producing, with potential for rentals across the five residences.

The accommodation configuration creates several possible strategies to investigate. These include bookings for larger private groups or separate use of individual residences, depending on the permitted operating arrangements.

The listing does not publish annual revenue, occupancy, average daily rate or net operating income. Request the records needed to assess performance before calculating a yield or return:

  • Historical booking records and rental income by residence.
  • Occupancy and nightly rates across different seasons.
  • Booking platform commissions and payment charges.
  • Management, cleaning, laundry and staffing expenses.
  • Water, electricity, internet and pool maintenance costs.
  • Repairs, insurance and furniture replacement expenses.
  • Existing reservations, deposits and guest commitments.
  • Management contracts and staff arrangements.

Compare gross receipts with the full cost of maintaining and operating the estate. Any investment projection should reflect documented performance, periods without bookings and the intended ownership structure.

 

A Natural Setting for Wellness Retreats

The 60 m² yoga shala gives the property a dedicated space to consider for wellness activities.

The listing identifies retreat programming, wellness events and yoga tourism as potential uses. Five residences, multiple pools, tropical surroundings and walking access to the beach provide physical features that a prospective operator can assess against a specific retreat concept.

Possible approaches include yoga programmes, private wellness stays or specialist group experiences. The proposed activities, guest numbers and commercial operation should be reviewed against applicable planning, licensing and operating requirements.

 

Could It Work as a Surf Retreat?

A surf focused concept is another potential use to investigate. The separate residences, accommodation for groups and walking access to the beach offer a starting point for planning a guest experience.

An operator could consider combining surfing with yoga, wellness activities and time within the estate. The practical assessment should include equipment storage, transport, staffing, safety arrangements and the suitability of nearby beach access.

Before developing a business plan, assess the specific beaches, surf conditions and seasonal access relevant to the proposed programme.

 

The Santa Teresa Lifestyle

The estate offers a setting for buyers who want beach access and substantial private grounds within the same property.

Personal stays might combine time at the beach with swimming, yoga, outdoor dining and visits to local restaurants. The separate houses also allow guests and family members to follow different routines.

For an owner considering both personal occupation and rentals, the central question is how those uses would work together throughout the year.

Surfing Around Santa Teresa

Buyers interested in a surf oriented lifestyle should explore the coastline and beach routes personally. Assess the breaks, conditions, access points and transport needs that match the experience of your household or intended guests.

For a commercial retreat, those details should form part of the operating plan alongside accommodation and staffing.

Restaurants and Local Amenities

Spend time exploring the restaurants, cafes, shops and services you would use during a stay. Assess their actual distance from the estate and how practical the routes are on foot or by vehicle.

This helps establish how the privacy of the compound would work alongside daily life in North Santa Teresa.

 

Is This a Beachfront Estate?

The listing describes walking access to the beach, rather than direct beachfront frontage.

The estate’s appeal combines ocean views, beach proximity and approximately 4,990 m² of private land. Buyers prioritising direct beach frontage should make that requirement clear when comparing properties.

Are Santa Teresa Property Prices Being Reduced?

The estate listing displays an asking price of $2,900,000 without identifying this property as a price reduction.

Request its pricing history and current availability directly from the listing team. Assess any offer against the estate’s condition, included assets, legal position, infrastructure and documented operating performance.

For a property with several residences, comparisons should account for the configuration and costs of managing the whole estate.

 

Private Lending and Financing Options

Financing availability depends on the buyer, lender and transaction. The listing does not establish a financing offer for this estate.

If financing forms part of your purchase plan, obtain terms for the specific acquisition and review the interest rate, repayment schedule, security, fees, currency exposure and exit arrangements with your advisers.

Where rental income is part of the repayment plan, use verified income and expenses to assess affordability.

 

Who Is This Santa Teresa Estate Best For?

The five residence configuration creates several ownership approaches to explore:

  • Families seeking privacy: separate homes for personal stays, visitors and extended family.
  • Multigenerational households: independent accommodation within shared private grounds.
  • Rental investors: multiple residences to assess against documented income and operating costs.
  • Wellness entrepreneurs: a dedicated yoga shala and accommodation to evaluate for retreat use.
  • Surf retreat operators: group accommodation and walking access to the beach.
  • Owners combining personal stays and rentals: separate residences that may support different uses, subject to the relevant requirements.

Each approach involves a different balance of privacy, staffing, maintenance, guest activity and ongoing expenditure.

A property with five residences requires a review of the land, buildings, infrastructure and any existing operation.

Before relying on a particular ownership or business plan, request professional review of:

  • Property title, ownership, survey and boundaries.
  • The legal status of the access route and servidumbre de paso.
  • The AyA municipal water connection.
  • Artisanal well documentation and relevant water rights.
  • The 20,000 litre storage tank and distribution system.
  • The ICE electricity connection and solar installations.
  • Building documentation, permits and recorded areas.
  • Pool documentation, equipment and condition.
  • Applicable zoning and permitted uses.

  • Property taxes and insurance.
  • Internet infrastructure and service arrangements.
  • Structural condition, roofs, drainage and maintenance needs.
  • Furnishings and equipment included in the sale.
  • Existing management, staff and supplier arrangements.
