Contemporary Coastal Home, Tamarindo, Guanacaste

About Contemporary Coastal Home

Casa Uchuva is a home that immediately stands out for the way it connects architecture with nature. Built around a mature guácimo tree, the design draws the outdoors inward, combining wood, stone, and concrete in a clean, modern style that feels perfectly suited to its tropical setting. For buyers considering Costa Rica luxury investment, Casa Uchuva offers a distinctive combination of architecture, craftsmanship, privacy, and proximity to the coast.

From the entrance, the level of detail is clear. A large pivoting front door opens into interiors where custom teak work takes center stage. Ceilings, cabinetry, doors, and built-ins have all been carefully crafted, giving the home a distinctive character. Even the furnishings were specially designed for this property, adding to its unique identity.

The kitchen blends functionality with strong visual appeal. Dark granite countertops contrast with warm teak cabinetry and stainless elements, while a high-end range with a pot filler makes cooking practical and enjoyable. There’s also a built-in wine display and an outdoor barbecue area that makes hosting feel effortless.

The layout was designed to remove barriers between inside and outside. Structural elements are concealed to create open spaces without columns, allowing large glass panels to slide away and connect the living areas directly to the terrace and pool.

Outdoors, the pool becomes a central feature, extending toward the house with stepping pads that cross the water and lead past a small garden courtyard between the bedrooms. Pergolas create shifting light and shadow throughout the day, and textured stone details add a handcrafted feel across different areas of the home.

The primary suite offers generous space along with a walk-in closet, vanity area, and a bathroom designed with a spa-like approach, including double showers, a soaking tub, dual sinks, and an indoor garden. Each additional bedroom has its own personality, with custom wood finishes and thoughtful design touches.

Modern systems are fully integrated, allowing control of lighting, sound, security, and pool functions, along with features like water filtration, irrigation, and backup water storage.

The property is enclosed for privacy and includes parking for four vehicles outside plus a garage. Despite its design and features, the home is easy to maintain and built for comfortable everyday living.

Located in Playa Grande, the house is within walking distance of the beach and close to everything the area offers. Known for its wide shoreline, consistent surf, and relaxed atmosphere, Playa Grande also provides quick access to nearby dining, services, and the Flamingo Marina, as well as the lively town of Tamarindo. For buyers exploring Guanacaste surf real estate, Casa Uchuva offers an especially strong connection to one of the region’s best-known surf and beach destinations.

Created by DOMA Engineering and Architecture together with Escencia Homes, Casa Uchuva reflects a careful balance of design, craftsmanship, and modern tropical living.
