Villa Lucy

Set in the gated community of Senderos near Tamarindo, this two-story tropical modern home rises in wood and stone beneath deep, pitched roof overhangs, solar panels lining the roofline above. Cable railings trace the edges of wide covered decks, ocean and hillside views opening past the trees from nearly every level, a rainbow catching the tail end of an afternoon rain over the valley below.

Inside, the kitchen runs along dark wood cabinetry, a marble waterfall island anchoring the room beneath stone-tiled backsplash and brass fixtures. A primary bedroom opens onto its own private balcony, ocean visible past the treeline, while a stone-clad bathroom holds a freestanding soaking tub before floor-to-ceiling windows framing the green valley beyond, a glass-enclosed rain shower nearby. Downstairs, a home theater holds reclining leather seats before a mounted screen, and a bunk room finished in dark wood offers its own quiet corner for younger guests.

Outside, an infinity pool traces the hillside's edge, ocean and coastline visible in the distance past mangroves and forest canopy. A covered dining terrace holds a long wood table beneath a slatted wood roof, built for evenings that stretch into sunset, while a stone-and-wood gym opens to the greenery beyond. The hillside quiet settles in above Tamarindo's distant hum.
