La Joya Estate

Description

La Joya Estate represents one of Costa Rica's most compelling luxury mountain residences, a private sanctuary combining architectural sophistication, absolute privacy, expansive usable land, and guaranteed panoramic views of the Central Valley. The estate is offered as a complete property integrating two adjoining parcels totaling over 18,000 square meters (approximately 4.45 acres) of predominantly usable, impeccably maintained land. This exceptional configuration ensures permanent control of the surrounding environment, long-term protection of scenic views, and the level of privacy increasingly sought by discerning buyers. The generous land component also permits future expansions or customized projects without compromising exclusivity. The primary parcel spans 9,576 square meters and features a main residence of 788 square meters with a refined architectural concept blending contemporary lines with timeless materials. The home showcases almond wood beams, gavilán wood ceilings, and fine cenizaro and cedar finishes throughout. The interior offers a spacious primary suite with a private office and direct access to the outdoor terrace, three secondary bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half-bathrooms. A separate secondary house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with an independent workshop, provides versatility for guests, staff, or additional uses. The adjoining parcel of 8,738 square meters significantly enhances the estate's long-term potential, allowing for additional guest residences, wellness areas, gardens, or other customized amenities while preserving privacy and uninterrupted views. Beyond the residence, La Joya Estate offers an exceptional mountain lifestyle. Its proximity to renowned outdoor destinations such as Cerro Dantas, El Bosque de la Hoja, and Monte de la Cruz positions the property at the center of the Central Valley's most desirable areas for hiking, mountain biking, and rural mountain tourism, enhancing both quality of life and long-term appeal. The estate is located within Residencial La Joya, an exclusive gated community of only six properties with owner-controlled access, providing exceptional security and discretion. The location offers remarkable convenience: less than 25 minutes from downtown Heredia and under one hour from Juan Santamaría International Airport, with immediate access to commercial, dining, educational, and essential services. The year-round mild climate, fresh mountain air, and surrounding natural beauty further elevate the living experience. Recent luxury hospitality developments in the area, including a high-end Hilton-branded hotel opening at the historic former Hotel La Condesa, reinforce the region's upward trajectory and support long-term value appreciation.
