La Estancia de Maynard: Single-Level Home with Pool and 2 Guest Units

Tucked behind an elegant colonial-style wall, La Estancia de Maynard is a private retreat full of character, located in one of the most traditional and centrally located residential neighborhoods of Escazú. From its lush façade draped in natural greenery to the internal walkways shaded by fruit trees, this property evokes a deep sense of authenticity, serenity, and timeless charm from the very first glance.

Just minutes from the heart of Escazú, in the sought-after Barrio Maynard, this single-level residence blends the appeal of classic architecture with a highly functional layout, all surrounded by mature gardens, green views, and complete privacy across more than 2,300 m² of fully walled grounds. Carefully renovated and maintained by its long-time owners, the home preserves original elements such as solid wood beams, high coffered ceilings, ceramic floors, wide hallways, and handcrafted details throughout.

The main house features three air-conditioned bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with two walk-in closets and a spa-style bathroom with jacuzzi tub and natural light. The interior also includes two living rooms, a formal dining area, a large office with two work areas, a multipurpose mezzanine above the living space, a traditional wood-crafted kitchen with breakfast nook, a generous laundry room, and full service quarters. Each area flows naturally to the outdoors through large wooden doors and windows, connecting the interior with covered terraces, tropical gardens, and the pool.

La Estancia de Maynard also offers two detached colonial-style structures that function as independent living or working spaces—perfect for guests, short- or long-term rentals, remote work, or creative studios. One of them is a complete apartment located near the entrance of the property, featuring a living-dining room, kitchen, one bedroom, and one full bathroom. The second unit, set at the back of the gardens, includes a covered terrace, a sauna area, a full bathroom, and space to add a kitchenette. Next to it is a large bodega that could easily be converted into an additional bedroom. Other structures include utility rooms, garden storage, and a small artisan workshop.

The lush gardens are more than ornamental; they’re alive with edible fruit trees such as lemon, fig, and mango. Shaded walkways and seating areas throughout the property invite moments of reflection, reading, or simply enjoying the sounds of birdsong.

A private swimming pool sits just steps from the large covered terrace, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living. The sauna, crafted in natural wood, offers a serene wellness experience in the comfort of your own home.

This unique property offers the rare opportunity to live within walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants, schools, and key services without giving up privacy, nature, or authentic character. Whether as a family home, luxury Airbnb, wellness retreat, or multi-purpose residence, La Estancia de Maynard is a versatile and one-of-a-kind estate in the heart of Escazú.
