Welcome to Casa Orquidea, a timeless 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath Spanish Colonial estate set in the exclusive Las Golondrinas beachfront enclave within Hacienda Pinilla. Designed by renowned California architect Miguel Podolsky and custom built by engineer Karl Gronemeyer, this residence seamlessly blends architectural elegance, luxurious comfort, and classic design.
Situated on a beautifully landscaped 2,014 m2 (half-acre) lot, the home is surrounded by mature tropical trees, vibrant gardens, and inlaid pathways crafted from native slate and antique brick. At the heart of the outdoor living space is a salt-filtered infinity-edge pool, thoughtfully oriented for full southern exposure. The pool connects gracefully with the home's grand terrace and a covered pool pavilion—complete with bathroom, shower, and grill—creating the ultimate outdoor retreat for relaxing or entertaining.
Spanning nearly 6,000 square feet, Casa Orquidea offers spacious living with handcrafted finishes, high ceilings, tropical hardwood floors, and traditional brickwork. The open-plan Great Room flows into a dining area and a chef's kitchen, fully equipped with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and premium appliances.
The residence features two expansive Master Suites—one on the main floor with direct pool access and another on the upper level with a private terrace, vaulted ceilings, and a spa-inspired en suite bath with double showers and a walk-in closet. The second floor also hosts a spectacular Entertainment Room with 8-meter (25-foot) vaulted ceilings, a wine bar, home theater, lounge, and piano area—all bathed in natural light. Two additional guest bedrooms on this level share a bathroom, while the remaining guest suites are thoughtfully positioned for privacy and comfort.
Modern amenities include 16 solar panels, new split-system air conditioning units, built-in surround sound audio, and a security system.
