Click on the pictures to enlarge

An extraordinary ocean setting, an arrival to remember, and a character entirely its own.

Set within the Tango Mar community on Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula, Casa Leon del Mar offers the rare balance every buyer hopes for: a secluded, private retreat that is still close to everything. Step through your private gate and, just 110 steps later, you are on the beach. Few homes in Tango Mar offer this kind of direct access. Ocean views, beautifully kept grounds, and the flexibility of two separate residences come together in a peaceful setting, with the community's golf and tennis at your doorstep. For buyers who want privacy, authenticity, and a true connection to nature, this is a place where you will feel at home from the very first day.

The gate opens onto a scene of tall, elegant palms and lush greenery. Beyond them lies the true reward: a sweeping view of the ocean that takes your breath away from the very first moment. It is a view that never loses its magic.

Built with exceptional quality and attention to detail, the home has stood the test of time beautifully, and the original architectural plans are available for the new owner. Offered furnished, the two bedroom, two bathroom main home reflects the warmth of traditional Costa Rican design. Terracotta tile floors and soft beige tones create an inviting atmosphere, and the European style kitchen pairs granite countertops with a mirrored backsplash.

The home was designed for living outdoors as much as in. Soaring 7 meter (23 foot) ceilings give the living spaces a remarkable sense of volume and light, while oversized windows and wide patio doors open them to the gardens and the sea, so the boundary between inside and outside almost disappears. Every room invites you out into the fresh air, and the ocean view becomes part of everyday life.

The two bedrooms sit at opposite ends of the home, each with its own en suite bathroom for comfort and privacy. The spacious primary suite has two sets of patio doors: one opening onto the rear porch, the other stepping directly out to the private plunge pool.

The plunge pool is a true highlight of the property. Surrounded by greenery and cooled by the ocean breeze, it is the perfect spot for a morning dip, a refreshing afternoon swim, or a quiet sunset moment with a glass of wine, all in complete privacy.

The ocean facing porch is the natural heart of the home. Thanks to its ideal orientation, the sun always falls in the right place, and constant ocean breezes keep the climate comfortable all year, never too hot and never too cold. Long dinners, quiet afternoons, and relaxed evenings unfold against a remarkable coastal backdrop.

Casa Leon del Mar is a home for someone who loves waking up to everything nature has to offer. Pheasants roam the gardens, ducks gather at the pond, and chickens provide fresh eggs each morning. These resident animals are included with the sale and are very much part of the property's soul. Beyond them, the trees around the home welcome wild visitors every day: monkeys swinging through the branches, parrots and toucans adding bursts of color, and iguanas basking in the sun. Each morning begins with birdsong, ocean breezes, and the gentle rhythm of life all around you. It is the kind of place that feels like a little piece of heaven, and if that is the life you dream of, this home is for you.

Guest House:

A separate one bedroom residence adds valuable versatility. With its own kitchen, bathroom, garage, and carport, it offers independent space for family, guests, or live-in staff, as well as potential rental income.

Casa Leon del Mar also offers room to grow. The property allows for additional construction, giving the future owner the freedom to expand the main home, add guest suites, or create new outdoor living spaces to suit their vision. With the original plans in hand and a solid, high quality structure already in place, the possibilities are wide open.

Tucked away in its own quiet corner, Casa Leon del Mar feels a world apart, yet everything is close at hand. Tango Mar Beach and the Tango Mar Restaurant are just steps away, and the golf course sits just outside the front entrance. The Cocolito Waterfall, the surf and dining of Santa Teresa, and the bohemian charm of Montezuma are all within easy reach. Getting here is simple, with Cobano airport nearby and the Paquera ferry connecting the peninsula to the mainland.

Casa Leon del Mar is offered with a completely clean title and its original plans, giving buyers complete peace of mind from day one.

Some properties are best understood in person. Come see the view, walk the grounds, and imagine calling Casa Leon del Mar home.
