Auction Bidding Opens July 21 | Closes July 28
Perched beneath the majestic slopes of Pico Blanco and embraced by the natural beauty of the Catalina River valley, Las Catalinas de Pico Blanco is more than an extraordinary residence—it is one of the most significant private estates ever offered in Costa Rica.
Now, in a rare and unprecedented opportunity, this iconic property is being offered for sale through Concierge Auctions, without reserve, allowing qualified buyers the chance to compete for ownership of one of Latin America's most remarkable trophy estates.
Situated on approximately 15 acres in the prestigious mountains of Escazú, Costa Rica's most coveted residential destination, Las Catalinas commands breathtaking panoramic views across the Central Valley, the capital city of San José, surrounding mountain ranges, and distant volcanoes. Its elevated position offers a level of privacy, beauty, and exclusivity rarely found anywhere in the world.
Originally commissioned by a distinguished European family who selected the site for its unparalleled natural setting, the estate was envisioned as a sanctuary of permanence and grandeur. Inspired by medieval European architecture and masterfully executed by acclaimed Costa Rican architect Rodrigo Trejos, Las Catalinas stands today as one of the country's most recognizable residential landmarks.
Encompassing approximately 43,055 square feet (4,030 m²) of construction, the estate features nine bedrooms, eight full bathrooms, and five powder rooms distributed across thoughtfully designed private, social, and entertainment wings. The residence seamlessly blends old-world craftsmanship with modern luxury, creating spaces equally suited for intimate family living, distinguished guests, grand entertaining, or private retreats.
At the heart of the estate lies an extraordinary artisan courtyard inspired by historic European estates, while throughout the property, architectural details, soaring interiors, and expansive terraces frame spectacular views from nearly every vantage point.
Beyond its architectural significance, Las Catalinas offers a lifestyle increasingly sought after by global wealth creators and legacy-minded families. Organic gardens, a living koi pond, and fully integrated self-sufficient systems create a rare sense of independence and sustainability, while maintaining effortless access to world-class amenities.
Just minutes away, Escazú offers Costa Rica's finest restaurants, luxury shopping, championship golf, international schools, private healthcare, and cultural attractions. Juan Santamaría International Airport provides convenient connections to North America, Europe, and major international business centers.
For collectors of iconic real estate, family offices seeking legacy assets, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals searching for extraordinary opportunities, Las Catalinas de Pico Blanco represents a category of ownership rarely available in today's global luxury market.
Properties can be replicated.
Locations can sometimes be matched.
But true icons are irreplaceable.
This is one of them.
