La Fuente Estate – Timeless Hacienda Living in Turrúcares, Costa Rica

La Fuente Estate is a luxurious private hacienda located in Turrúcares, Alajuela, within one of the most strategic and tranquil areas of Costa Rica’s Central Valley. This large-scale estate combines timeless architecture, expansive gardens, and an uncommon versatility, offering an ideal environment for refined residential living as well as boutique projects or high-end alternative uses.

Built approximately 25 years ago by the renowned PIASA company as a retirement residence for a senior executive of a multinational corporation, the property reflects careful planning, solid construction quality, and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. From its main entrance, the house presents an elegant open-front courtyard, highlighted by a central fountain that defines the property and marks a serene and distinctive arrival. Walkways, paths, and ramps naturally connect the different areas of the estate, including the parking area, allowing for comfortable and functional circulation throughout the property, even for those with reduced mobility.

The main house is organized around patios, terraces, and covered walkways that reinforce its private hacienda character. The clay tile roofs, arches, columns, and terracotta tile floors add warmth and architectural coherence, while high ceilings and double-height spaces amplify the sense of spaciousness and brightness. The interior social areas are notable for their generous scale. The main living room, with a double-height ceiling, opens onto a large covered terrace that directly connects to the gardens and pool area. Adjacent to this space are a formal dining room or music room, a billiard room, and a carefully designed half-bath, creating an ideal setting for social life and entertainment.

The kitchen, with a classic Italian-influenced style, is spacious and functional, featuring a large central island, granite countertops, a gas stove with grill, pantry, wine refrigerator, and equipment designed for both daily use and entertaining guests. From the kitchen, you access a covered terrace with a bar and BBQ area that naturally integrates with the front garden and fountain, enhancing the indoor-outdoor connection. Connected to the house and facing the pool, there is an independent study with a double-height ceiling, ideal as a private office, creative space, or wellness area.

The private bedroom area is separated from the social core and organized around a central circular lobby with a double-height ceiling, providing privacy and efficient distribution. The property offers a total of six bedrooms with five full bathrooms. The master suite is especially spacious, with direct access to a terrace that connects to the pool, a generous walk-in closet, and a bathroom with double sinks, a separate shower, and a Jacuzzi tub. The secondary bedrooms feature various configurations, including Jack and Jill bathrooms, walk-in closets, built-in storage, and independent access, significantly expanding the possibilities for family, guests, or staff.

Outside, the estate unfolds as a true oasis. The swimming pool, large and designed for swimming, includes covered and open areas, a lateral pergola, and spaces prepared for future expansions. Nearby, there is a ranch with ceiling fans, a BBQ area, and an upper lookout with views of the tennis court and the entire property. Paths and ramps traverse the gardens, connecting each area among mature Guanacaste trees that provide shade, privacy, and a park-like atmosphere.

The estate is complemented by a large entertainment building, ideal as an event hall, private gym, or multifunctional space, a fully equipped home theater, and an independent caretaker’s house at the entrance, with a living room, dining area, kitchen, and three bedrooms. Solar panels powering the house and pool heating reinforce a conscious and efficient approach.

Due to its scale, location, and layout, La Fuente Estate offers exceptional versatility as a private residence, retirement property, or boutique project, all just minutes from services, Juan Santamaría International Airport, and major routes across the country.
