In the upper, more residential part of Barrio Escalante, I am pleased to present a property of a scale that has become increasingly uncommon in this part of San José. Set on a 1,353 m² lot with 730 m² of construction, this residence brings together space, architecture, and a distinctive relationship with light and greenery. A tropical atrium with palms and a retractable roof opens the house to the sky; the spiral staircase stands as a sculptural element; arched windows frame the garden; and a pool framed by mature greenery opens off the living areas. The home features five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and generous social spaces designed for entertaining, gathering, and enjoying in privacy. The ground floor flows between open living areas, garden, and interior atrium, while the upper floor organizes the private quarters with space and calm. This is not the most active or nightlife-driven side of Escalante. It is a more residential way to live the neighborhood: with its dining, art, and walkability close at hand, from a more sheltered and primarily residential setting. More than a house in Escalante, it is a residence with a presence of its own — spacious, green, private, and difficult to replicate within the neighborhood's current inventory. A property for those seeking architectural character, scale, and urban life without giving up the calm of a residential home.

Perched high in the mountains of San Rafael de Heredia, one of Costa Rica’s most sought-after residential areas with strong appreciation and long-term growth, Casa Montana redefines elevated luxury living by seamlessly blending privacy, extraordinary views, and strategic proximity to the city. Its location offers a highly convenient metropolitan lifestyle, just 20 minutes from downtown Heredia and under one hour from Juan Santamaría International Airport, with easy access to shopping centers, hospitals, restaurants, bars, and urban amenities. Thanks to its privileged elevation, the property enjoys a fresh mountain climate year-round and truly remarkable panoramic views of the Central Valley. From multiple vantage points throughout the home, the scenery stretches across the mountains toward San José, the international airport, and on clear days, even the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Nicoya, a rare feature found in only a select few residences in the region. Casa Montana is part of an exclusive boutique gated community comprised of only twelve estates, offering controlled access and permanent security for a peaceful and private living environment. Within the community, a landscaped boulevard lined with flowers and native vegetation creates an inviting space for daily walks while enjoying the mountain air, natural surroundings, and cohesive architectural character of the neighborhood. Upon entering through the electric gate, an elegant driveway leads through expansive gardens that frame the residence and highlight the meticulous care given to its outdoor spaces. The property sits on a 2,055 square meter lot and integrates harmoniously with its natural setting through generous green areas and thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces. 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. Social areas flow seamlessly across the first two levels. The lower level connects the living room, dining area, and interior bar, all opening onto a pentagon-shaped churuata-style terrace and BBQ area equipped with both gas and Uruguayan-style wood grills, ideal for entertaining while enjoying open mountain views. The main entry level features an elegant foyer, a guest powder room, and a modern fully equipped kitchen with a central island, quartz countertops, and scenic views of the garden and surrounding mountains, as well as an independent laundry area. The upper level houses the private living quarters, consisting of four spacious bedrooms. The primary suite offers a truly elevated experience with a panoramic balcony, walk-in closet, spa-style bathroom with soaking tub and mountain views. A distinctive feature of this suite is the electric retractable roof, allowing stargazing directly from the comfort of the bed. Three additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family living, guests, or home office use and share a full bathroom. Complementing the main residence is an independent secondary structure of approximately 50 square meters, ideal as a guest house, private office, or studio, along with workshop and storage space. The property also includes covered parking for two vehicles with an electric gate, ample additional parking, functional storage areas, and green spaces suitable for pets. Casa Montana represents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking luxury mountain living, unparalleled views, solid construction quality, and a strategic location within one of Costa Rica’s most desirable cantons.

With 661 m² of construction on a 1,275 m² lot, the property offers a scale and layout that are uncommon in the current inventory of the area.

One of the property's standout features is its covered terrace — a generous, versatile space that opens directly onto the mature garden.
