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.

From the porch, a short walk through your private gate leads you down to Playa Quizales, one of the most beautiful and peaceful beaches on the Nicoya Peninsula. Its long stretch of sand faces the calm waters of the Gulf of Nicoya, framed by swaying palms and lush tropical greenery. Here there are no crowds, only the sound of the waves, the warm sun, and the feeling of having the shore almost to yourself. Morning walks, afternoon swims, and unforgettable sunsets become part of everyday life.

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.
