House with garden San Rafael (Costa Rica)

Concepción Heredia Heights is a vast property with a total land area of 3.85 acres, located in the mountainous residential area of Concepción, San Rafael, Heredia. It is an area characterized by the presence of high-end residences that usually have some of the best views of the surrounding mountains and the Central Valley, as well as large dimensions of land that allow you to enjoy the outdoor areas, the freshness of the mountain weather and the relaxation that comes from living far from large crowds while being just a few minutes drive away from the main urban centers in Heredia province, having at your disposal all the essentials for everyday life. This stunning estate is compounded of two properties at the National Register of the Property that are sold exclusively together. The first one is a 1.56-acre lot with a mostly flat surface that can be accessed through the main gate and faces the public street. Once inside, you can see a path that crosses both lots and could be paved eventually; as well as a small caretaker house and a multi-purpose court. The second one is a 2.29-acre lot at the back of the property with a broken surface reaching the top of the mountain, an ecosystem perfect for setting multiple stations for recreational purposes such as trails, viewpoints, firepits, and ranches, among others. Most likely, it is a set of natural beauty and scenic delight with incalculable value, even more considering that it is located just a few miles from the imposing Braulio Carrillo National Park and you can feel up close all of its atmosphere and natural charm. In regards to the use of land authorized by the Municipality of San Rafael de Heredia, it is possible to build residential or agricultural projects in both lots, with a utilization percentage of around 20% to 25% of the surface area, approved for buildings of up to two floors. Likewise, the charms of this majestic property are a result of a unique environment created after putting together the full life quality and well-being, its breathtaking views, the feeling of living in the heights, a peaceful retreat full of privacy, and the fresh air coming all day as well as experiencing the tranquility of living in one of the safest areas in the Central Valley with high rates of socioeconomic development.

The main residence offers approximately 430 square meters of construction distributed across three levels, featuring an architectural style that blends colonial and contemporary elements to achieve a refined yet warm aesthetic. Interiors are defined by the use of noble materials and handcrafted details, including almond wood floors and ceilings, natural brick accents, traditional roof tiles, and custom-made lighting fixtures, creating a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere.
