19714 - Luxury 4-bedroom home with a pool and terrace in Brasil de Mora

Description:

Casa del Pazo

Casa del Pazo is a distinctive estate located on the border of Santa Ana and Brasil de Mora, in the western Central Valley. Set on more than 8,000 m² of beautifully maintained grounds, the property combines privacy, expansive gardens, and open views of the city and surrounding mountains, all within minutes of the services and conveniences of Santa Ana and Escazú.

A cobblestone driveway lined with tall palm trees establishes the character of the property from the moment of arrival. Its timeless architecture incorporates natural stone, wood, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and carefully selected details, including several windows with frames sourced from India. The scale of the interiors and quality of the materials reflect a residence designed for longevity and maintained in excellent condition.

The main residence was originally built in 2004 by Zürcher Arquitectos and underwent a significant expansion and renovation in 2013. Its layout across two levels and several split levels creates a natural separation between private living areas and social spaces, making the home equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.

On the main level, the spacious living and dining rooms feature vaulted brick ceilings and a strong visual connection to the surrounding landscape. A covered terrace takes full advantage of the west-facing views, with the city and mountains providing an impressive backdrop, particularly in the late afternoon. The kitchen connects to a generous family room and pantry, while a separate television room overlooking a fountain provides a more intimate setting for daily life.

The upper level accommodates four spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, and walk-in closets. The primary suite also includes a private terrace and an outdoor Jacuzzi, creating a secluded space within the residence.

The social areas are among Casa del Pazo’s defining features. On the lower level, additional living and dining spaces are complemented by a fully enclosed bar with glass doors that preserve the views and provide direct access to the swimming pool and gardens. Two bathrooms, including one full bathroom, and a sauna complete this area. A thoughtfully designed wine cellar provides a separate setting for private dinners and wine tastings.

Also on this level is a flexible space currently arranged with a pool table, full bathroom, kitchen, and pantry. Its independent configuration allows it to function as a loft-style apartment, guest accommodations, or an additional living area depending on the needs of its residents.

The property also addresses the practical requirements of an estate of this scale. It includes two staff bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, five storage rooms, its own water well, covered parking for four vehicles, and additional outdoor parking for six or more. Two separate entrances distinguish the main arrival from the service and supplier access, a particularly convenient feature when hosting gatherings or events.

Within the gardens, a separate secondary residence of approximately 90 m² provides comfortable accommodations for on-site staff responsible for the property's daily care, while maintaining appropriate separation from the main residence.

Casa del Pazo brings together attributes that are rarely found within a single property: more than 8,000 m² of land, predominantly level topography, privacy, expansive mountain and city views, architecture with a distinct identity, and a residence maintained with careful attention to its materials and finishes. Its location also provides convenient access to Route 27, Santa Ana, and Escazú, with restaurants, shopping, and everyday services only minutes away.

For those who value scale, privacy, and architecture with character, Casa del Pazo offers a compelling option among Santa Ana luxury homes and Central Valley Costa Rica real estate, combining the tranquility of an expansive private estate with convenient access to the main urban centers of western San José.
