House 1: Colonial-Contemporary Fusion with Private Pool
Discover a stunning set of three houses situated on a flat lot. House #1 was meticulously designed by renowned architect Rolando Barahona. With architecture inspired by the historic Casona de Santa Rosa in Guanacaste, this residence blends a traditional Costa Rican colonial style on the exterior with a contemporary design that features high ceilings and expansive windows that flood the spaces with natural light.
Every corner of this house has been designed to delight the senses. Marble and natural wood floors, complemented by cedar interior doors, offer understated elegance, while the exposed beams of solid pilón wood lend a robust and authentic character. The rustic roof tiles, handcrafted in Nicaragua, rest on a zinc base, with eaves that showcase the beauty of the exposed tiles.
The heart of this residence lies in its harmonious integration with nature. Large windows frame views of the garden, connecting the interior with the exterior. The covered terrace opens completely, creating a seamless flow to the garden and the uniquely designed pool. With a lap lane approximately 20 meters long and a waterfall, this private oasis offers both areas for entertaining and a tranquil retreat for relaxation.
The interior design stands out for its functionality and comfort. The main living room and bedrooms have high ceilings that amplify the feeling of spaciousness. The TV room features a skylight and wood-paneled ceilings, while the kitchen, equipped with space for appliances of its future owner's choosing, is perfectly situated for everyday enjoyment. The main house is organized into three bedrooms: two secondary bedrooms with built-in closets and bay windows, and a master suite that includes a foyer, private office, walk-in closet, a functional jacuzzi tub, and a shower with an indoor garden.
The space is carefully structured to maximize privacy and comfort. A private area can be completely enclosed with a door. The property also features a laundry room, a maid's quarters with drying patios, and a rainwater harvesting system with a capacity of approximately one week.
Outside, the bush-hammered concrete baseboards and columns add a handcrafted touch, while the exterior corridors and garage, with their brick and concrete floors, offer functionality without sacrificing style.
With a solid 470 m² construction and features such as concealed electrical wiring and individual mini-split air conditioning units in each room, this property combines luxury, functionality, and timeless design, making it a truly unique retreat.
House 2: A Cozy Guest House with Style and Comfort
The second building on this extraordinary property is a charming guest house of approximately 70 m², including a terrace that extends its living spaces outdoors. Designed to offer independence and comfort, this private retreat combines carefully selected materials and finishes that reflect a restrained and functional aesthetic.
The interior of this house is distinguished by its concrete flooring in the living and kitchen areas, which provides a modern and minimalist texture. In the bathroom, wood-look laminate flooring adds a warm and inviting touch, achieving a balance between style and practicality.
The layout includes a perfectly designed kitchenette to comfortably meet essential needs, a bedroom with a walk-in closet to maximize storage, and a small laundry area that adds practicality to this self-contained space. The living room, with its clean lines and connection to the terrace, offers an ideal setting for relaxing or entertaining.
The terrace, carefully integrated into the design, becomes an ideal place to enjoy the fresh air and views of the lush garden, creating a space that invites relaxation and tranquility.
House 3: Timeless Practicality in a Single-Story Residence
The third gem of this magnificent property is a single-story residence, built by the renowned firm Escalante y Asociados in 1985. With nearly 500 square meters of construction, this house combines classic design with high-quality materials, offering a practical and functional living experience.
