Description

Villa La Catarata is a stunning chalet-style architectural residence set on a magnificent 10-hectare property in the heart of Santa Bárbara, Heredia. This exceptional 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom home showcases exquisite craftsmanship throughout, with fine wood finishes and meticulous attention to architectural detail characteristic of premier mountain estates. The home's interior is designed for both family living and sophisticated entertaining. The spacious great room features a dramatic chimney and opens to expansive balconies where residents can enjoy breathtaking views of the property's natural waterfall. Additional living spaces include a gourmet kitchen, family room with home theater, and two game areas—all thoughtfully positioned to maximize views and natural light. Each bedroom offers magnificent mountain and garden views, with direct access to outdoor spaces through large windows and private balconies. Beyond the main residence, the estate includes a dedicated caretaker house, adding both functionality and investment flexibility. The property's sophisticated systems include a comprehensive alarm system, external illumination, high-end audio and video infrastructure, and reliable internet connectivity—ensuring modern comforts throughout the retreat. The natural setting is unparalleled. Primary forest blankets the expansive grounds, with maintained trails for exploration and a serene lake completing the landscape. The property's crown jewel is the cascading waterfall visible from the main living areas, creating an immersive nature experience without leaving home. Santa Bárbara, Heredia's fourth canton, sits within the Greater Metropolitan Area yet maintains an authentic mountain lifestyle. Despite this serene setting, the location offers exceptional convenience—first-class services, dining, and cultural amenities are just 20-30 minutes away, and Juan Santamaría International Airport is similarly accessible. This rare combination of seclusion and accessibility makes Villa La Catarata ideal as a private residence, boutique hotel, bed and breakfast, retreat center, wellness sanctuary, or investment property. Built to exacting standards by Constructora DIASA, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully realized mountain estate in one of Costa Rica's most prestigious locations.
