Punta Penca 7, Villa Sympatheia Las Catalinas, CR

A House Built Around the Idea That Everything Connects

Villa Sympatheia, Punta Penca 7, is a five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom home in Las Catalinas: a four-bedroom main house joined by a bridge to a one-bedroom guest house. It has 5,145 sq ft of air-conditioned space inside 10,670 sq ft of total construction, with an infinity-edge pool and hot tub, a rooftop bar, an outdoor kitchen and a bocce court. Playa Danta is about a five-minute walk from the door.

Villa Sympatheia also offers a rare practical advantage in Las Catalinas: drive-up access directly to the front door and a private garage, a combination understood to be unique among the town’s homes. In a community designed around walking rather than cars, this level of convenience and private parking sets the property apart.

The Residence

Five bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms are divided between a main house with four bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms and a separate one-bedroom casita reached by the bridge. Guests and family have their own front door and their own hours, which is the thing most large houses promise and few deliver.

The house climbs through its levels toward the water. The media room and a guest suite sit at the base, with two bedroom suites above, followed by the master floor with its own sitting room and private wine closet. The main living level brings the kitchen, dining booth and outdoor living room together on one plane with the pool. The roof is above that.

Air-conditioned space totals 5,145 square feet. Covered outdoor living adds 3,100 square feet, while uncovered terraces, the pool deck and rooftop balcony contribute another 2,426 square feet, bringing the total to 10,670 square feet on a 714.90-square-metre lot.

A private garage and direct drive-up access to the front door are exceptional features in Las Catalinas, adding everyday convenience to a home designed around indoor-outdoor living.

Outside

An infinity-edge pool runs along the main living level, with a hot tub beside it and the ocean beyond. Above, the rooftop bar serves as the house's entertaining space, open to the horizon and the sunsets. There is a barbecue and outdoor kitchen, several places to dine depending on the hour and the weather, a garden, and a bocce court.

Las Catalinas

Las Catalinas is a car-free town on the Guanacaste coast, built to be explored on foot. Playa Danta is five minutes from the door, while restaurants, cafés and shops are even closer. The Beach Club offers pools and a gym, and an extensive network of hiking and mountain biking trails leads from town into the dry forest along the ridge. Liberia International Airport is about an hour away.

Villa Sympatheia offers the character of Las Catalinas with an uncommon added convenience: direct access to the front door by car and a private garage, features that distinguish it within this walkable coastal community.
