Some homes are beautiful. Some are impressive. And then there are properties that simply cannot be replicated.
Welcome to an extraordinary private estate in La Guácima, Alajuela, where expansive manicured grounds, distinctive architecture, refined finishes and an exceptional location come together to create a truly special Costa Rican residence.
Offered at US$2,350,000, this property encompasses approximately 5,366 m² of land and 1,362 m² of construction, creating an estate-scale setting rarely found so close to the services, schools, shopping and transportation connections of the Central Valley.
The residence is exceptionally generous in scale, with approximately 1,362 m² of construction thoughtfully integrated into expansive landscaped grounds.
With 4 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, the home provides an unusual amount of space for both private living and entertaining.
The architecture is distinctive rather than conventional, giving the property a character that immediately separates it from typical luxury residences.
Large interior spaces flow naturally toward the surrounding gardens, creating the indoor-outdoor relationship that makes Costa Rican living so appealing.
This is a home designed for someone who appreciates:
Space. Privacy. Architecture. Nature. Entertaining. And exceptional location.
The property sits on approximately 5,366 m² of beautifully maintained grounds, giving the residence a sense of space and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find in the greater San José metropolitan area.
Instead of looking out onto neighboring homes from every window, the residence is surrounded by its own landscaped environment.
The grounds provide room to entertain, relax, enjoy the tropical climate and create the feeling of a private country estate while remaining remarkably connected to the city.
It is the best of both worlds:
With its substantial construction footprint, multiple living areas and seven bathrooms, this residence is particularly well suited to owners who enjoy hosting family, friends and business guests.
The scale allows the property to function equally well as:
• A prestigious primary residence
• A second home in Costa Rica
• A multigenerational family estate
• An executive residence
• A private entertaining compound
For an international buyer, the amount of space also provides flexibility that is difficult to find in more conventional luxury homes.
The property is located within a guarded, gated La Guácima community with 24/7 security, providing an additional level of privacy and peace of mind.
This is particularly attractive for families seeking an estate environment without sacrificing security or access to established amenities.
La Guácima has become one of the Central Valley's sought-after residential areas because it combines larger properties and a greener countryside atmosphere with convenient access to San José and the surrounding metropolitan area.
One of the property's greatest advantages is what surrounds it.
You are close to some of the area's most important private schools, medical facilities, shopping and recreational amenities.
The property is also near Los Reyes Country Club, with golf, tennis and equestrian facilities, providing a remarkable range of recreational opportunities close to home.
For families relocating to Costa Rica, this can make an enormous difference.
You can have:
A large private estate.
A secure community.
Excellent schools nearby.
Healthcare and shopping close at hand.
Country-club recreation nearby.
And the international airport within approximately 15 minutes.
For international buyers, location relative to Juan Santamaría International Airport is often a major consideration.
This property is approximately 15 minutes from SJO, making it particularly attractive for owners who travel frequently or maintain business and family connections outside Costa Rica.
That means you can enjoy the atmosphere of a private tropical estate without committing to the isolation that often comes with large-acreage properties.
The current listing describes the residence as having unique architecture, refined finishes and a seamless integration with nature.
That distinction matters.
There are many expensive homes.
Far fewer have a personality of their own.
This residence is intended for a buyer who doesn't simply want a larger version of a conventional house, but rather something with scale, individuality and presence.
The estate includes a three-car garage, along with additional parking capacity, providing the practical infrastructure expected from a property of this caliber.
For owners with multiple vehicles, staff or frequent guests, this is an important practical advantage that is often overlooked in luxury-home marketing.
There are beautiful homes in La Guácima.
There are gated communities.
There are large properties.
There are luxury residences.
But finding a property that combines:
1,362 m² of construction
5,366 m² of private grounds
4 bedrooms
7 bathrooms
3-car garage
Distinctive architecture
24/7 guarded community
Los Reyes Country Club nearby
Private schools and medical facilities nearby
Approximately 15 minutes to SJO
is considerably less common.
The current listing describes this property as more than a home — a lifestyle investment.
That is exactly how I would approach it.
This is for the buyer who wants to arrive home and feel that they have escaped the ordinary.
A property with enough land to breathe.
Enough construction to entertain.
Enough privacy to disconnect.
And enough proximity to everything important that everyday life remains convenient.
Photographs can communicate the architecture.
They can show the gardens.
They can demonstrate the scale.
But they cannot fully communicate the feeling of arriving at a private estate of this size and character in one of the Central Valley's most desirable residential areas.
That is something you need to experience personally.
If you are looking for a high-end Costa Rican residence with exceptional space, privacy, security and connectivity, I would encourage you to contact me directly.
