Description
Casa Biltmore
This property in San Rafael de Escazu occupies a privileged position within a consolidated and accessible residential area, where daily services, shops, and health centers are only minutes away while maintaining the privacy afforded by an exceptional 4,450 m² lot. The home stands as an independent residence surrounded by perimeter walls and mature gardens that create a calm and secluded atmosphere. Its location within a secure neighborhood with paved streets reinforces the appeal of living or investing in an established sector valued for its quality of life and proximity to everyday conveniences.
Casa Biltmore offers a generous 765 m² footprint, designed with spacious proportions in every area. High ceilings lined with fine woods, solid wood flooring, and abundant natural light filtering through large windows reveal the architectural character and enduring construction quality that distinguish this home. The social areas flow naturally toward the main terrace, a comfortable outdoor space ideal for enjoying the surrounding greenery and the swimming pool. Both the living and dining areas feature uncommon height and volume, creating a sense of openness and continuity that is increasingly rare in today's market.
The kitchen, crafted in fine wood and framed by windows on multiple sides, was designed for practicality and ventilation, offering a strong foundation for contemporary upgrades if desired. The private wing includes bedrooms of substantial size, several of them with high wood-paneled ceilings and exposed wooden beams that introduce warmth and an enduring sense of craftsmanship. The primary bathroom was recently renovated and serves as a clear reference for the level of finish and aesthetic direction that could be extended throughout the rest of the residence.
The covered terrace stands out for its scale and its direct connection to the gardens, a highly valuable feature for those seeking expansive outdoor living within Escazu. The pool anchors this area and becomes a natural gathering point for both recreational and family activities. Nearby, an additional bedroom with its own bathroom offers versatility for guests or for use as an independent suite depending on evolving needs.
The ZMLDS zoning (Zona Mixta Lineal para el Desarrollo Sostenible) adds a meaningful layer of flexibility. The property is suitable for residential living as well as for institutional or service-oriented projects, always maintaining coherence with its urban surroundings. This opens possibilities for wellness centers, professional offices, specialized care facilities, or other projects that can benefit from the solid foundations, the extensive lot, and the adaptable layout. Its strategic location, privacy, and structural robustness create an opportunity that few properties in Escazu can match.
This versatility is further strengthened by the existence of a highly developed preliminary project for a senior care facility, complete with spatial studies, detailed planning, and professional renders. The documentation provides a clear roadmap for those wishing to continue that vision, using the existing construction as a foundation for a specialized initiative aligned with ZMLDS guidelines. With its size, location, and intrinsic characteristics, the property stands as a unique opportunity prepared for multiple development paths depending on the needs and aspirations of its future owner.
