Surrounded by nature, tranquility, and prestige, it appeals to discerning families and investors seeking not only a residence, but a timeless architectural legacy. Set on 7.48 acres, the estate offers a rare balance between accessibility and seclusion. It is just 20 minutes from downtown Heredia and 45 minutes from Juan Santamaría International Airport, while remaining immersed in lush greenery, mountain landscapes, and protected natural reserves. Bordering Braulio Carrillo National Park, one of Costa Rica’s most important conservation areas, the property provides a daily experience of privacy, serenity, and connection with nature. A gated entrance opens to manicured gardens and an elegant driveway that introduces the scale and presence of this remarkable compound. The estate includes a 1,385 sq ft service house and a refined 1,421 sq ft guest residence, each offering three bedrooms and two bathrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy for staff and visitors alike. The centerpiece is the main residence, an architectural masterpiece offering over 13,882 sq ft (1,290 m²) of thoughtfully designed living space organized across two principal levels, plus a private sublevel dedicated exclusively to the primary suite. The two main levels are connected by striking glass staircases that serve as a focal point of design, enhancing the sense of openness, light, and sophistication throughout the home. The first principal level is dedicated to social living and everyday comfort, featuring expansive lounges with fireplaces, formal and casual dining areas, solid wood and granite bar spaces, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, panoramic terraces, and four secondary bedrooms. The second principal level hosts the estate’s main office, conceived as a distinguished workspace with elevated presence, along with an additional secondary bedroom, offering privacy and flexibility for guests or family members. Below these levels, the sublevel reveals the primary suite as a secluded private retreat. Generously proportioned, it includes its own office area, private sitting room, fireplace, and a spa-style en-suite bathroom with sauna. This primary bedroom enjoys direct access to an exterior terrace seamlessly connected to the open-air jacuzzi, offering serene and relaxing views over the surrounding gardens.
