Barahona-Designed 3-Bed Estate on 2.6 Acres in Dulce Nombre

Description

El Silencio Home is a stunning contemporary residence that redefines the relationship between architecture and the natural environment. Designed by sought-after Costa Rican architect Rolando Barahona, this masterpiece sits on a generous 2.6-acre property in Dulce Nombre de Tres Ríos, on the east side of San José. The home's unconventional layout, premium materials, and thoughtful design prioritize both privacy and an open connection to the surrounding landscape. Upon entry, the residence reveals its architectural philosophy: floor-to-ceiling windows frame the gardens and views from virtually every room. The main living area features an industrial-style fireplace and understated pendant lighting that allows natural light and the landscape to take center stage. Natural materials—exposed concrete, wood, and stone—paired with clean linear forms and a soft color palette create a serene, sophisticated atmosphere. The open-plan living and dining areas flow seamlessly to the outdoors, with glass doors connecting the spacious kitchen (featuring wood cabinetry and generous windows) to the main entertaining space. A service corridor discreetly houses the laundry room, maid's quarters, and three-car garage, all on the main level for daily convenience. The private wing includes a guest bathroom with an internal garden view, two office spaces, and the luxurious primary suite. The main bedroom sits three steps below the main floor, offering expansive garden views and a private terrace. The en-suite bathroom showcases the home's architectural language, featuring a jacuzzi, sauna, open double shower, and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, are arranged around a comfortable family TV room. The 10,795 m² lot is fully integrated with the architectural concept, featuring mature vegetation and ample room for expansion. Adjacent lots are also available for purchase, offering a unique opportunity for those seeking even greater privacy and space. Located in Dulce Nombre de Tres Ríos—a prestigious hillside residential area minutes from the urban center of Tres Ríos—the property enjoys excellent connectivity to quality supermarkets (Automercado), respected bilingual schools (Franco Costarricense, Saint Clare), and direct access to Cartago and San José. This balanced location combines fresh mountain air with proximity to essential services and cosmopolitan conveniences.
