Casa Zen presents itself as a three-level residence for sale in the gated community of Villa Real, in Santa Ana—where architecture, nature, and community living find an uncommon balance. Designed by the renowned firm Jean Garnier and built by Proinsa, this condominium home reflects a thoughtful approach to space, with a serene presence and a constant connection to its surroundings. From the entrance, the property conveys a distinct sense of character: a reflecting pond at the entry, water features, and a composition of fresh, natural materials anticipate the experience waiting inside. With four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and 1,031 m² of construction on a 2,021 m² lot, Casa Zen offers spaciousness, privacy, and a residential scale designed to enjoy every environment at an unhurried pace.
On the main level, much of daily life unfolds—an especially valuable feature for those seeking functionality without sacrificing elegance. The foyer leads to expansive, fluid social areas, where the living and dining rooms open to a covered terrace that extends everyday living to the outdoors. The transition between interior and exterior is handled naturally, complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows, wood, reflecting water elements, an infinity-edge pool, a pagoda with a fire pit, and a fountain that bring movement and atmosphere to the entire setting. The kitchen, with views of the surroundings, stands out with its central island, quartz finishes, high-end appliances, a Medallion cooktop, and a pantry—elements that support both family living and those who enjoy hosting at home. On this same floor, you’ll find the primary suite—spacious and bright—with high ceilings, room for an office, views of the pond and waterfall, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom with a particularly pleasant visual connection to the garden.
Casa Zen’s layout continues into spaces that expand the experience of living. A guest cabana, developed on a second level and connected via wooden stairs, offers independence within the same property and is ideal for visits or for a young person who needs greater autonomy. On the second level, a family TV lounge with a balcony overlooking the nature reserve, an open loft that works as an office, and two additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and generous closets complete an intimate, comfortable, and well-planned area. Each room maintains an abundance of natural light and views to the west and the mountains of Santa Ana, reinforcing the feeling of being in a home surrounded by greenery. The lower level adds versatility with a large multipurpose area, a full bathroom, a space that can be used as a gym or playroom, as well as a laundry area, storage room, service area, and covered parking for two vehicles, with additional outdoor space for several more.
Living in Villa Real means gaining access to one of the most highly valued residential communities in the Central Valley—especially for those who value security, privacy, and a mountain setting with comprehensive amenities. The condominium offers a gated entrance, permanent security, a clubhouse, a heated semi-Olympic pool, a social pool, tennis courts, a multi-use court, a soccer field, a gym, children’s areas, a private natural reserve, and walking trails. All of this creates a lifestyle closely connected to the outdoors—without giving up the urban convenience of Santa Ana and Escazú, with practical access to Route 27. Casa Zen brings together the combination of location, design, and setting that so many buyers look for in Costa Rica’s real estate market: a home in Santa Ana within a private community, with architectural presence, generous spaces, and an authentic relationship with nature.
