House with pool and terrace Esparza (Costa Rica)
El Castillo de Esparza - A Historic Legacy Estate with European Aristocratic Provenance Price: US$ 2,450,000 10 Bedrooms | 10 Bathrooms | 4,300 m² Construction | 16,099 m² Land There are luxury properties, and then there are properties with a story. El Castillo de Esparza belongs to the latter. Located in Costa Rica's Central Pacific region, this extraordinary estate represents a rare opportunity to acquire not only a remarkable property, but a piece of documented history. Originally commissioned and owned by Condesa Nina de Baillet Latour, widow of Count Alfred de Baillet Latour, the estate carries a direct connection to one of Europe's most distinguished noble families. The Baillet Latour lineage dates back more than three centuries and includes military leaders, governors, senators, diplomats, and Henri de Baillet Latour, former President of the International Olympic Committee. The Countess made Costa Rica her home and created El Castillo de Esparza as a private residence where European elegance and Costa Rican natural beauty would coexist in perfect harmony. The estate remains a reflection of that vision today. Offered turnkey, the property includes furniture, decorative pieces, and personal elements brought from Europe by the Countess herself, creating a level of authenticity and provenance rarely found in the Costa Rican luxury market. Beyond its historical significance, El Castillo de Esparza is an estate of exceptional scale and versatility. Encompassing more than 4,300 square meters of construction on over 16,000 square meters of beautifully landscaped grounds, the property was designed for hospitality, entertaining, and multigenerational living. Grand reception areas, guest accommodations, event spaces, gardens, and recreational amenities create an environment capable of accommodating a wide range of uses while preserving its residential character. The estate can continue its legacy as a private family compound, while also offering potential as a boutique hotel, wellness retreat, executive retreat center, members club, cultural venue, or hospitality destination. What makes El Castillo de Esparza truly exceptional is its ability to combine history with opportunity. Many luxury estates offer size. Others offer location. Very few offer a documented story, European aristocratic provenance, turnkey authenticity, and the flexibility to shape the next chapter of their legacy. For the buyer who values heritage as much as architecture, opportunities of this nature are extraordinarily rare. El Castillo de Esparza is more than a property. It is a legacy waiting for its next steward.
