3 Bedroom Home on Horse Farm: Private Pool, Playa Avellanas

Casa Sol y Luna is a recently renovated three bedroom home with a private pool, set on a working equestrian estate in rural Guanacaste. The house was built with hemp walls, which keep it naturally cool, and it opens onto a large wooden terrace with a hammock, dining table and hanging chair.

THE HOME
• Three bedrooms with three queen beds, sleeps up to 6
• Sofa in the living room converts to a single bed
• Private pool
• Air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout, with mosquito screens on every window
• Fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, stove and cookware
• Separate private laundry room
• Wi-Fi throughout the house

THE ESTATE
The home sits on a 5 hectare (12.4 acre) equestrian estate within a larger organic farm, with a caretaker on site 24 hours a day and night security. Guests receive seasonal fruit from the farm.

• On site equestrian center with a certified instructor living on the property
• Riding lessons in our enclosed arena, beach rides and mountain trails, arranged on request and booked separately from your stay
• Private walking trail where monkeys and iguanas live wild on the property
• Organic orchards tended by our two farm workers, open for guests to explore

THE LOCATION
Playa Lagartillo is within walking distance. Playa Avellanas is a 10 to 15 minute walk or 5 minutes by car, and the world class surf at Playa Negra is about 7 minutes. Tamarindo, the main town for restaurants and activities, is 25 minutes. Liberia International Airport is an hour and a half.

We are beautifully placed but genuinely rural, which is much of the appeal. Taxis are scarce here, so we recommend renting a car.

ARRANGED ON REQUEST
Housekeeping, a private chef in the house, yoga, surf lessons, paddleboarding, canopy tours, massage in your own home, ATV excursions and cooking classes can all be organised for an additional fee.

GOOD TO KNOW
• The last stretch of the access road is gravel (unpaved).
• For safety, horses are enjoyed from outside the paddock; guests do not enter it.
• Equestrian activities are optional, subject to availability, booked 24 to 48 hours ahead, and paid separately.
