Mountain Essence with luxury and comfort. This two-level home is a hidden gem in Santa Barbara de Heredia, with a great mountainside location and panoramic city and forest views. Boasting a grand design with vaulted ceilings and spacious areas, The Mountain Essence Home offers refreshing entertainment area and a large 7-bedroom private area distributed on both levels, with the master bedroom on the main level. Arches, round columns and brick detailing are just some of the unique finishes the house features. The 1.85-acre property includes landscaped gardens and a small private lake.

The approach to the property on the Santa Barbara mountainside in Heredia is guarded by an electric gate. The curved driveway at Mountain Essence Home leads to the main door preceding the main vaulted hallway. Here, beautiful brick ceilings connect to the private and social areas of the home with a guest bathroom and an office to the side.

To one side, delicate porcelain floors lead to the kitchen at Mountain Essence, boasting Almond wood, crown moldings and an open design. The central counter has a secondary sink and a spacious area ideal for preparing food. Solid wood furniture, stainless steel appliances and a large pantry offer a delightful kitchen and a chef’s dream. A curved counter offers sitting space for five people while integrating the social area.

Semi-integrated to the kitchen through wide arches, Mountain Essence Home’s dining area offers a more formal ambience with curved, brick detailing and three arched windows around the area that incorporate natural light and ventilation, including glass sliding doors that open tom the terrace. Two steps down the kitchen, the living room boasts wood floors, a marble fireplace that creates an elegant air, and access to the terrace.

Mountain Essence’s L-shaped terrace borders the social area and part of the private quarters, featuring an open style with vaulted and wood ceilings with exposed wood beams. Round Roman columns create beautiful arches that frame the panoramic views of San José, Alajuela, Heredia and nearby mountains. A bar area equipped with a sink, stone counters and dark tops offer an extension of the social area. The two gazebo-like corners offer a circular, built-in bench and the other a jacuzzi, calming spaces from where to enjoy the fantastic views of the house.

The master suite is offered on the main level, a stunning bedroom with wooden crown moldings, a walk-in closet and a marble-detailed fireplace. Glass sliding doors open directly to the terrace and to incredible views. Its bathroom boasts two sinks, a jacuzzi and a walk-in closet. This floor also offers three secondary bedrooms, two of them sharing a double-sink bathroom with a jacuzzi and the other including a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom.

Down the staircase, the lower level of Mountain Essence Home features a family TV room and a wood sauna. Two secondary bedrooms and a bathroom are offered. A spacious laundry area and the maid’s room are in this floor but in a more secluded space. From this level, trails amid the landscaped garden connect to a beautiful lake surrounded by a variety of trees and exotic plants.

Santa Barbara is a laid-back and safe part of Heredia, offering a peaceful mountainside location just fifteen minutes away from shopping malls like OxĂ­geno and Paseo de las Flores, public and private colleges like UNA and U Latina, and top-ranked schools such as the European School.
