Description:

Quinta Santa Elena

Nestled in the peaceful community of San Isidro de Heredia, Quinta Santa Elena offers a residential lifestyle that balances privacy, spaciousness, and urban proximity. Set on 14,000 m² of flat land with 1,200 m² of construction, this independent property delivers a serene connection with nature just two minutes from Route 32, and within easy reach of San José in 20 minutes, Escazú in 30 minutes, and the beautiful beaches of the Southern Caribbean in about three hours. It is also conveniently close to prestigious schools in the Heredia area, including Lincoln School, Golden Valley, and Colegio Europeo.

Primarily distributed across a single level, the home features high ceilings, a double-height design in the main living space, and a layout that emphasizes natural light, cross ventilation, and a seamless connection to the lush surroundings. Upon entry, a skylit foyer welcomes you with a sense of volume and openness, leading to an expansive living and dining area that opens fluidly to a covered terrace and surrounding gardens. Views of the cypress forest and the pool enhance the home’s private and relaxing atmosphere.

The modern, functional kitchen is equipped with black granite countertops, a six-burner gas stove, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and a generous walk-in pantry for optimal organization. Adjacent to the kitchen, a cozy sitting room serves as the perfect space for quiet reading or informal gatherings.

The residence includes six family bedrooms, distributed between the main house and a separate guest apartment located adjacent to the home. On the ground floor are three bedrooms, including the spacious primary suite (one currently used as an office), each with closet space and ceiling fans. Upstairs, two mirror-image bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom and each feature a walk-in closet, natural ventilation, and excellent lighting. The primary suite offers ample space, an en-suite bathroom with both a shower and jacuzzi, and a custom wood-finished walk-in closet.

The independent guest apartment, located beside the pool, includes an integrated living and dining area, a bedroom with garden views, a walk-in closet, a full bathroom with access from both the interior and the terrace, and a covered outdoor space ideal for social gatherings or private relaxation. This detached layout provides functional flexibility, whether for guests or multipurpose use.

The property is equipped with a range of technical features that ensure comfort, sustainability, and autonomy: a 21,000-liter water storage tank, both a private well and connection to the public water system, three septic treatment plants, an alarm system, electric generator, and a pre-installed ambient music system. Every detail is designed to support continuous ease of living and operational efficiency.

The flat terrain not only makes movement around the property easy but also allows for a cohesive design between the built spaces and landscaped gardens. The pool, surrounded by vegetation and prepped for future heating installation, serves as the centerpiece of the home’s outdoor social areas. Supporting infrastructure includes a dedicated laundry cottage, caretaker’s quarters, storage bodega, and a large parking area for over 10 vehicles, with three covered spaces.

Quinta Santa Elena is located in a fully serviced residential area with paved road access, public lighting, electricity, potable water, and nearby public transportation. This one-story home with a private pool in Heredia offers the comfort of a thoughtfully designed layout, complemented by the value of a privileged location. It is ideal for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle in a secure, private setting surrounded by nature and convenience.
