In the past, surfers used to reside in beachside shacks without the basic comforts. Now, those days are long gone, and the surfing legends spend millions to purchase luxurious beachfront properties that would even put a billionaire’s homes to shame. Now, another such property has hit the market, and notwithstanding its exorbitant price tag, it has attracted the surfing world’s attention, even from across the oceans.
The Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica is a surfing hotspot with five surf break points in the vicinity. In the middle of this oceanside paradise stands a five-bedroom mansion. But its main allure lies in the location that promises the surfers a few hidden spots, inviting them to carve their own waves of discovery.

La Vida Mar is a private estate in the billion-dollar resort community of Hacienda Pinilla on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula. The mansion extends directly to the Pacific Ocean through the “Golden Coast” of the Avellanas beach in the country’s Guanacaste province. Brian Bratton, who is the agent for the property, has promised that the surfing enthusiasts will absolutely fall in love with the home.
In an interview with Mansion Global, he said, “The surf breaks just out in front of the home range from reef or point break waves to punchy beach break waves…There are a few secret ones that we don’t even talk about”. Moreover, the property is situated only about fifteen minutes from the town of Tamarindo. The eclectic surf town became famous after featuring in the famous 1994 documentary film “The Endless Summer 2”.
This coastal paradise also boasts of connectivity “…direct flights, friendly local people, amazing food and limitless unspoiled natural beauty,” as per Bratton. Moreover, the mansion is west-facing, so the future occupants will have an uninterrupted view of the beautiful sunset all year round. Besides the beauty of the ocean and the beach, the new owners will also have access to the luscious mangrove forest within Hacienda Pinilla’s resort community overlooking an estuary. Thus, the home fits nicely into the age-old real estate adage of “Location, Location, Location!”. But, it has more to offer than just its prime location.
