Hacienda del Viento is the quietest property in our current collection. Four hectares of regenerating dry forest, a single-storey house along the high contour, and a gravel drive that takes four minutes from the gate. There is no neighbouring structure visible from any window.
The house is built in the traditional Guanacaste manner, updated: deep overhanging eaves on a timber frame, thick walls to hold the night's cool through the afternoon, and a central corridor that pulls the wind through from the north-east. In the dry season the wind is constant; the house was designed around it, not in spite of it.
Beyond the main house there is a stable block, a covered outdoor kitchen, and a seasonal creek with mature trees along it. The land carries water rights and existing solar. It would suit a family seeking privacy and space, or a buyer looking for a site with room to add without crowding what is already there.
Guanacaste is Costa Rica's driest and sunniest province, which is the single fact that shapes everything about living there. From December to April it barely rains; the forest loses its leaves, the light turns hard and golden, and the wind blows steadily from the north-east. From May the rain returns in the afternoons and the whole province turns green within a fortnight.
Exact coordinates are shared with qualified buyers during a private viewing.
