Stunning family compound mountain home, located within a prestigious gated community on
the hills of Heredia, bordering the forest.

This magnificent family compound mountain home is located on a gated property, within a
private community and includes: a two-story main residence, a spacious guest house, two
caretaker homes, a tennis court, a greenhouse and enough space to build an additional guest
house, pool with entertaining area, helipad or a combination of any of the afore mentioned.

As the majestic main gates open to welcome you onto this lovely family compound mountain
home, the main driveway leads towards the main residence and one cannot help to deeply
inhale the fresh air that comes from being on this property, paired with a wave of tranquility.
Ample parking space is available for guests and the residence has a covered and closed
double garage.

The main residence has three (3) bedrooms, one (1) office, easily to be converted into an
additional bedroom, three (3) bathrooms and one (1) guest bathroom.

The master suite is conveniently located on the main floor with large windows looking over the
backyard. Connecting ‘he and she’ walk-in closets with built-in closet space and a large
bathroom, also with separate ‘he and she’ spaces including individual sinks, multi-functional
massage shower and a two-person whirlpool bathtub / Jacuzzi.

The office is strategically located in the main entry hall of the residence, close to the front door,
overlooking the driveway. The guest bathroom is also in the main entry hall.

As one walks into the mansion, past two large, beautifully handcrafted brass iron gates, one is
welcomed into a grand, tastefully built, furnished and decorated open space, that includes the
library/study and guest living rooms with a fire place. This open space is filled with inviting
sofas and comfortable chairs with plush pillows, inviting one to simply unwind and get lost in
the world of a good book. Thanks to the large windows and well-designed almond hardwood-
and glass ceiling, this space is cozy and well-lit by the sunlight. A fine combination of wood-,
stone- and brass iron finishes, gives this residence its warm quality, that any family with good
taste, would be proud to call their “home”.

This open space, further takes one to the outdoor veranda, built along the entire length of the
mansion, half of which is covered with glass, to ensure dry and cozy afternoons with the dogs
and/or children, overlooking the gardens and tennis court, even when it rains outside. The
other half of the veranda is an outdoor glass room extension, ensuring a year-round warm
“outdoor” space, to be enjoyed even during chilly evenings, socializing with friends.

The residence also has a separate family room, with a large bar and a family living room by a
second fire place, that leads into the dining room.

The dining room was stylishly placed in the tower-shaped part of the residence and therefore
enjoys a beautifully designed 360 degree feel. Large windows all around, provide a beautiful
sunlit atmosphere for meals shared with family and friends, adorned with a locally handcrafted
wine cellar. The dining room has three entries/exits; one into the family room, another to the
outdoor glass room and the third, into the kitchen.

The spacious kitchen has recently been upgraded and holds a modern, fully equipped kitchen
with stainless steel appliances, including both a gas- and electric stove, ample storage space,
small dining table, large pantry and adjacent laundry room.

The elegant staircase in the main hallway, leads one to the second floor. Upstairs, one finds a
spacious open area, overlooking the front of the residence, to be used as a tv room, playroom
or art room. On each side of this open area is a bedroom, with walk-in closets and individual
bathrooms.

The spacious one-story guest house is a large, individual house, with own, separate, entry gate
and driveway, with ample covered parking space as well as a covered and closed double
garage. It could be used by guests of the family living in the main residence, or rented as an
investment, as it’s located on a separate lot within the compound and is totally independent
from the main residence.

As one enters the guest house from the main door, one is welcomed into an open space; a
combination of the living room with a fire place, study/library and dining room, followed by a
semi-open kitchen with a breakfast table, plenty of storage cabinets, a pantry, storage room
and a laundry room.

The master bedroom with walk-in closet and full, private bathroom is located on one side of
the guest house and on the other side, one finds two additional bedrooms (or offices) one with
walk-in closets and the other with built-in closets. They share a bathroom and kitchenette.
There is also an additional guest bathroom in the main living space.

The living room leads one outside, to a fully glass-covered veranda, build along the total length
of the guest house, overlooking the gardens and a partial view of the main residence.

The guest house also has a covered shed/extra storage with a private garden, that can be used
as a dog house and their play yard.

Although independent from the main residence, there’s a pleasant and easy to walk, pathway
connecting the two.

The family compound mountain home has two caretaker homes on property. One is located
