4 Bedroom Luxury Residence for Sale, Santa Ana, San Jose, Costa Rica

Exquisite 4 bedroom luxury residence for sale in Costa Rica located in Santa Ana in the Central Valley. A legacy property like no other in the Central Valley, this iconic luxury estate is an irreplaceable and timeless residence that for the first time in its history, is poised to change hands. The property was carefully selected by its current owners to build an estate like no other, that boasted a combination of convenience, exclusivity, privacy and of course, luxury. The property is situated on a hillside on the border of Escazu and Santa Ana, where the towering trees behind the home create a natural barrier for privacy, and the infinity views to the front of the property provide a loftiness, and depth that exudes the epitome of exclusivity. While the natural setting is such that you can only hear the sounds of birds and the trees swaying with the breeze, and void of any cars in sight or sound, it is also conveniently located less than 5 minutes to the area’s hustling commercial sector including international restaurants, shops, banks, schools and entertainment.

Upon entering the guarded entrance at the bottom of the property, you will slowly meander up the private driveway, passing the pond and postcard gazebo until you reach the classic port cachere entrance. The timeless Mediterranean Hacienda architecture was carefully designed by the only owners, and their architect, Alberto Reifer, to blend classic colonial accents, with an abundance of light, nature and of course the views. The home and its near 1400 sq meter of livable space, sprawls almost exclusively on one floor, with an awe inspired attention to detail. Upon entering the home, your eyes are immediately drawn to the two story, atrium ceiling, classic chandelier, and custom stucco walls throughout. Around every corner, a new gift of classical elegance awaits including majestic two story columns designed by Antonio Doninelli, stained glass windows, brick vaulted ceiling accents, emblematic custom, crafted hardwood built in furniture and ceiling highlights and meticulously placed lighting to feature each of every corner. In the formal vestibule, the home naturally splits in two directions with the private area of the residence to the right, and the social areas to the left. We will start with the social areas to highlight one of the core features of the home, which is its focus on entertainment. At the entrance, there is a guest bathroom which emulates the details of the home including a hand-carved wood column, stained glass windows, as well as marble and stone accents. To the left of the entrance you will find an informal living room with intricate, built in artisan wood furniture, hardwood floors, and an expansive arched window overlooking the valley bringing in both fresh air, and natural light into the space. Leaving the living room, the hallway towards the social areas of the home are lined with Greek inspired columns that levitate the sequence of vaulted, brick ceiling details that follow, each adorned with a subdued accent chandelier. In the social areas, the architect masterfully incorporates the formal dining room, multiple living areas, bar and cocktail table, in a semi open, yet well defined and subtly delineated with custom wood frame as you pass from one ambiance to the next. One of the living rooms boasts floor to ceiling glass to showcase the dominant valley views below and accented by a brick dome above, whose design is mirrored over the dining room across the hall, created a seamless symmetry that does not go unnoticed. The floor plan not only impresses the eye, but was designed with its use in mind, as each space connects with the next with pure intention. The dining room connects with an all but hidden rear door directly to the kitchen, which can also be accessed from the more private area of the home. The kitchen does not disappoint with a lush, green backdrop in the rear that brings in both natural light and stark bright contrast to the custom
