Punta Penca 7, Villa Sympatheia | Five Bedroom Ocean View Home in Las Catalinas

A House Built Around the Idea That Everything Connects

Villa Sympatheia takes its name from the Stoic idea that all things are bound to one another, and the architecture argues the case. Private rooms open into shared ones. A bridge, an actual bridge, carries you from the guest house across to the main residence. The owners built it around family, health and the life of the town below, and you can read that intention in the plan before anyone explains it to you.

The Residence
Five bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms, split between a main house of four bedrooms and five and a half baths and a separate one bedroom casita reached by the bridge. Guests and family get their own front door and their own hours, which is the thing most large houses promise and few deliver.

The house climbs through its levels toward the water. The media room and a guest suite sit at the base, two bedroom suites above, then the master floor with its own sitting room and a private wine closet, then the main living level where the kitchen, the dining booth and the outdoor living room share one plane with the pool. The roof is above that.

Air conditioned space is 5,145 square feet. Covered outdoor living adds 3,100 square feet, and uncovered terrace, pool deck and roof balcony another 2,426, for 10,670 square feet in total on a 714.90 square metre lot. There is a garage, which in a car-free town is rarer than the view.

Outside
An infinity edge pool runs along the main living level with a hot tub beside it and the ocean past the edge. Above, the rooftop bar is the entertaining room of the house, open to the horizon and the sunsets. There is a barbecue and outdoor kitchen, several places to eat depending on the hour and the weather, a garden, and a bocce court.

Las Catalinas
Las Catalinas is a car-free town on the Guanacaste coast, built to be walked. Playa Danta is five minutes from the door on foot. Restaurants, cafés and shops are closer than that, the Beach Club has pools and a gym, and a large network of hiking and mountain biking trails runs straight out of town into the dry forest on the ridge behind it. Liberia International Airport is about an hour away.
