Guest Casita + City-View Estate in San Rafael de Escazú

Description

Elevé Escazú is a contemporary architectural estate set high in the mountains of San Rafael de Escazú, Costa Rica, within a private 24/7 gated community. Positioned on a generous 1,950 m² lot, this two-story residence was meticulously designed to capture uninterrupted 180-degree views of the city skyline and surrounding mountains from nearly every principal space, creating a home that balances panoramic scenery, architectural clarity, and proximity to one of the capital's most established residential districts. The main living level is defined by double-height ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling glass that frames the landscape in every direction. Living and dining areas connect fluidly, extending toward generous terraces and a private balcony with BBQ area, creating natural settings for both formal entertaining and relaxed evenings overlooking the city lights. Natural materials—stone, fine wood, steel, and glass—are integrated with intention, reinforcing the home's contemporary character throughout. The kitchen serves as both a design focal point and functional workspace. Italian cabinetry, quartz countertops, and premium appliances are complemented by a separate prep kitchen, allowing seamless hosting while maintaining discretion and organization. Three spacious bedroom suites upstairs each feature en suite bathrooms, walk-in closets, and direct access to terraces or balconies that ensure constant connection to the surrounding views. The primary suite offers a more secluded atmosphere with panoramic outlooks, a spa-inspired bathroom featuring a freestanding tub, double vanities, and refined finishes designed for daily comfort. The lower level introduces a private lifestyle wing with independent access, currently arranged as a gym, home theater, game room, and kitchenette with full bathroom—this space can transition into a self-contained apartment or extended guest quarters as needed. A detached two-bedroom guest house complements the main residence, well suited for visitors, multigenerational living, or staff accommodations. The estate includes a city-view deck and thoughtfully integrated landscaping where local wildlife such as sloths, toucans, parrots, and owls are frequently present. Premium finishes throughout include Kohler fixtures, natural stone and fine wood flooring, smart privacy glass in select bathrooms, automatic irrigation systems, a water reserve tank with pump, asphalt shingle roofing, and advanced security systems. Three parking spaces complete the offering, making Elevé Escazú a refined residential achievement where architectural design, expansive views, privacy, and urban access converge with clarity and intention.
