Award-Winning Barahona Design on 1-Acre El Roble Estate

Description

El Roble Sanctuary: Mountain Escape & Modern Comfort This extraordinary property in El Roble de Santa Bárbara de Heredia represents a rare combination of acclaimed architectural design and natural tranquility. Set on 10,041 square meters of pristine mountain land, the main residence spans 315 square meters and was designed by renowned architect Rolando Barahona. This exceptional home was awarded the prize for best architectural design in metal at the International Biennial of Costa Rica in 2000, a testament to its visionary and humanized design philosophy. The residence masterfully balances functionality with aesthetic beauty, creating an integral living space where work, leisure, contemplation, and rest harmoniously coexist. The interior features an open and bright floor plan with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious living room, dining area, and integrated kitchen. Thoughtfully positioned transparencies throughout the home frame spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding natural landscape—the city beyond and the majestic mountains that define this region. The property extends beyond the main residence to include a service house of 43 square meters, front and back terraces, and a storage room. Beyond the architecture, the land itself becomes an extension of the living experience. Family amenities include a soccer field, basketball court, and children's playground, transforming the expansive grounds into a personal recreation paradise. The temperate and cool climate of El Roble creates an ideal environment for those seeking respite from heat and urban pressures. The natural setting provides the perfect backdrop for remote work, contemplative living, and a lifestyle deeply connected to nature. Peace and serenity define this mountain refuge, where privacy and comfort merge seamlessly. Located just minutes from shopping areas and essential services, the property offers the best of both worlds: complete seclusion within a welcoming community that provides convenient access to all necessary facilities. This is more than a home; it is an oasis of tranquility and well-being where architectural excellence meets natural beauty.
