Found along the golden coast in the province of Guanacaste, the luxury condos of Las Terrazas are sought after due to their high rentability. The private Prieta Beach Club is also a great draw, as is the Four Seasons golf club. Playa Nacascolo, which was voted one of Travel Leisure’s most beautiful beaches is also very close by.
Why Las Terrazas
Las Terrazas was designed as a vibrant community by renowned Costa Rican architect, Ronald Zürcher. The development area consists of 17 properties embedded in natural beauty on a total of 19.5 acres of Papagayo Peninsula land. Many also have an elevated position that provides scenic island and ocean views. A lovely nature center is also located nearby.
The Terrazas location is conveniently found near the Four Seasons Papagayo Resort, and their famous 18-hole, Arnold Palmer Signature golf course. Owners and renters are allowed to the Prieta Beach Club, along with utilizing all the amenities that Four Seasons guests enjoy, including their restaurants, pools, spa, fitness center, and golf clubhouse.
The community common areas include twin infinity pools with ocean views overlooking Bahia Culebra and the Four Seasons Papagayo Golf Course. Playa Nacascolo is a short walk away. Living here also provides the convenience of being within one hour of Liberia International Airport (LIR) and some of the best medical care facilities in all of Costa Rica.
Condos
Most properties within the Las Terrazas development area condominiums offer lifestyle living in the Costa Rican Pacific Northwest. For those looking to rent rather than buy, typically rental reservations are generally accepted within 3 months of arrival, and wait-listing is sometimes available for more advance dates.
