Monastic Mansion is located on the boundary between Santa Ana and Brasil de Mora. It was built and designed so that anyone living here has all the comforts and luxuries at hand for the highest level of lifestyle. The achievement of a flat lot with unobstructed views of the city and the mountains features two entry accesses: one to the main house and one service entrance for providers for any event, as well as access to the secondary home used by the service staff.
The main house was built and expanded in two phases—first in 2004 by Zurcher Arquitectos, and later in 2013 with a significant addition and remodeling. It has two levels and sublevels, making the social areas completely private—perfect for ensuring the success of any gathering. On the lower level, there is an area currently used as a pool table dining space, a full bathroom, and its own kitchen and pantry, which can perfectly be adapted, if desired, as a loft-style apartment. Also on this same level: a living and dining area, a fully enclosed bar with glass doors so the impressive view is never compromised. Both areas connect to the pool and patio, which feature two bathrooms (one full) and a sauna. Additionally, a wonderful wine cellar exquisitely decorated creates the perfect setting for a curated wine-pairing evening.
On the main level of the home, you will find a half bathroom, a living room, and a spacious dining area with brick barrel ceilings, followed by a covered terrace that connects the kitchen to a large family room and pantry. In the service area, there are two service rooms, each with its own bathroom, plus a storage room. The TV room, with views of a beautiful fountain, serves as the prelude to a set of stairs leading to the second floor, where you will find four spacious bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and walk-in closets. The primary bedroom also includes a terrace and an outdoor jacuzzi in the same area.
This mansion is decorated with the most exquisite taste and detailed with finishes of the highest quality, such as natural stone floors, barrel ceilings, some windows with frames brought from India, wood beams, and natural hardwood flooring. In addition, the property has its own water well providing all the necessary supply, 5 storage rooms, parking for 4 vehicles under roof and 6 or more outside. Simply a rare gem.
To complement this property, an independent home within the garden has been conceptualized so that a couple or family dedicated to various daily tasks can live there, ensuring the right trusted personnel.
This comfortable construction measures a total of 90 m².
About the location: Very easy access to Route 27, Escazú, and Santa Ana, along with all the services offered by the area. The west of the capital has grown significantly, with all types of services and commerce just 5 minutes away.
It is the best combination of peaceful living outside the hustle of the city, yet extremely close to everything essential and more.
