PANORAMIC OCEAN VIEWS & PRIVATE POOL from HISTORIC HILLTOP RETREAT in Guiones

Hacienda Las Huacas — Historic Hilltop Estate with Ocean Views in Playa Guiones

Welcome to Hacienda Las Huacas, one of the oldest and most distinctive estates in Playa Guiones, Nosara. Set on a rare ~2-acre double lot at one of the highest points in the EE section, this historic hilltop property captures the essence of Nosara with sweeping ocean views, cooling breezes, and deep local roots.

Originally known as Casa Las Huacas, the home was named for the sacred red clay hill it rests upon — a place once cherished by indigenous kings who buried their treasures high above the jungle to be closer to the heavens. Today, that same sense of peace and connection remains, woven into every detail of this soulful Costa Rican retreat.

Purchased as a private home in 2012, Hacienda Las Huacas has been carefully remodeled to preserve its authentic charm while offering comfortable, spacious accommodations for up to 16 guests. The estate features four separate dwellings, making it ideal for families, surf groups, and small retreats seeking privacy, nature, and proximity to Playa Guiones Beach.
