Hacienda Imperial Equestrian Estate Nestled within a privileged natural setting, this extraordinary equestrian estate redefines countryside luxury through an impeccable fusion of sophistication, privacy, and contemporary colonial architecture. From the moment one arrives, the residence evokes a rare sense of serenity and grandeur, where every space has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate beauty, nature, and the art of refined living. Its inspiration is drawn from the iconic Patio de los Leones at La Alhambra, creating an atmosphere where water, stone, and light intertwine in timeless harmony. Corridors, gardens, and architectural details recall the charm of classic Mediterranean haciendas while seamlessly blending historic elegance with contemporary comfort. The residence showcases exceptional craftsmanship and noble materials throughout: handcrafted roof tiles from Granada, Nicaragua, natural Roca Azul stone, wrought-iron lighting fixtures, fine cedar wood finishes, and exquisite Guanacaste wood ceilings that bring warmth, authenticity, and character to every room. The freshness of its expansive interiors and the constant connection to nature transform this estate into a true private sanctuary. Designed for elegant entertaining and everyday enjoyment alike, the social areas flow beautifully throughout the home. A spacious dining room connects effortlessly with a spectacular cedar wood kitchen, envisioned as the heart of the residence. Both refined and functional, the kitchen is complemented by an expansive walk-in pantry, offering comfort, organization, and sophistication for intimate family living or grand-scale hosting. Surrounding the elegant central courtyard are four private bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom. The primary suite features a jacuzzi and a private balcony overlooking the pool and lush gardens.

On a lower level, a generous swimming pool and an independent ranch-style pavilion with bathroom and storage create the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings, family celebrations, and unforgettable evenings shared with friends. Yet the true soul of the estate reveals itself within its world-class equestrian facilities: ten horse stalls, three corrals, two riding arenas, storage areas, and thoughtfully designed spaces dedicated to both the horses’ wellbeing and the enjoyment of equestrian living. Beyond the infrastructure itself lies something far more meaningful — an emotional connection shaped over generations. Here, the gentle rhythm of horses at sunrise, the quiet bond between rider and animal, and the peaceful experience of watching them move gracefully through gardens and open spaces become part of everyday life. For many years, the estate also welcomed equine therapy experiences, creating deeply meaningful moments for children, families, and visitors who discovered in these magnificent animals a source of healing, confidence, joy, and emotional connection. Every corner of the property holds stories of transformation, heartfelt smiles, and unforgettable experiences shaped by the sensitivity and noble spirit of the horses. More than an exceptional property, this Hacienda represents a family legacy built through generations of passion, tradition, and love for the equestrian lifestyle — a legacy that continues today through children and grandchildren who proudly carry the tradition forward. This is far more than a residence; it is an exclusive and profoundly authentic lifestyle experience.
