Finca Las Hortensias: Colonial Estate, Guest Cabin & Valley Views

Description

Welcome to Finca Las Hortensias, an exceptional mountain estate nestled in the natural beauty of San José de la Montaña, Heredia. This 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence sits on 11,371 m² of registered land (plus 4,047 m² in possession), offering an unparalleled private sanctuary with panoramic views of the Central Valley stretching to the international airport. The main residence showcases colonial-style architecture with distinguished details that blend tradition and warmth. A covered terrace framed by wooden columns opens seamlessly to the social areas, creating fluid indoor-outdoor living. The interior includes four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a guest powder room, with the primary suite and one secondary bedroom featuring ensuite bathrooms. Several rooms open directly to the terrace, enhancing the connection to nature and sense of spaciousness. Entertainment and leisure are central to this estate's design. A heated electrically-powered jacuzzi complements the swimming pool, while a separate rancho features a pizza oven and BBQ area—ideal for gatherings with family and friends. Inside, a dedicated TV room and games room with pool table, ping pong, foosball, and bar provide year-round recreational options. Additional spaces include a service room with bathroom and integrated water storage and pumping system. The grounds are a masterpiece of landscape design, with mature pines and the region's signature hydrangeas framing the property in seasonal color. A natural stream fed by a protected spring irrigation system runs through the estate, supporting the landscaped gardens while adding sustainability and charm. A guest cabin with one bedroom, bathroom, and living area provides flexible accommodation for visitors or extended family. Quality finishes are evident throughout: cenízaro wood ceilings on the terrace, durable hardwood cabinetry, doors, and window frames. Recent roof maintenance and anti-corrosive paint treatment reflect meticulous care. Security is comprehensive, with an electric perimeter gate, camera system, and guard house at the entrance. The property is part of a small community of eight homes, each with independent access and enclosures. Location offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Less than one kilometer from San José de la Montaña's center, residents enjoy quick access to supermarkets and local services.
