Luxury Residence with Private Lake and 23.7 Hectares in La Garita Villa Serena – Lake Estate
A Lifestyle Property with Strategic Value in the Coyol – Grecia, Real Estate Development Growth Corridor
Set on 23.7 hectares in La Garita, Villa Serena combines a fully developed luxury residence, a private lake, and expansive grounds within one of the most dynamic areas of Costa Rica’s Central Valley.
Located within the La Garita – Grecia corridor, the estate benefits from the structural drivers shaping the region: the expansion of Free Zones in El Coyol, increasing demand for executive housing, and the westward growth of the Greater Metropolitan Area.
Villa Serena represents both a high-end private estate and a land-backed investment opportunity.
Turnkey Luxury Residence for Immediate Use
At the center of the property is a Balinese-inspired tropical residence, designed to seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor living while maintaining privacy and scale.
The residence features:
Under roof: 1,359 m²
External areas: 2,436 m²
Total construction area: 3,795 m²
Delivered fully completed and move-in ready, the home allows for immediate use as:
A private residence
Executive housing
High-end rental or boutique hospitality concept
A Unique Natural Setting with a Private Lake
The property is defined by its private lake and mature natural surroundings, offering a level of privacy and environmental quality that is increasingly difficult to find within close proximity to the Greater Metropolitan Area.
This setting supports:
A refined lifestyle centered on privacy and nature
Potential for boutique hospitality or retreat concepts
Long-term value preservation through low-density surroundings
Land Value and Development Potential
In addition to the residence, Villa Serena includes 237,869 m² of land, with zoning that allows for minimum 2,500 m² residential lots.
This creates opportunities for:
Boutique residential development
Partial land segmentation while maintaining a primary estate
Medium- to long-term land appreciation within a high-growth corridor
Importantly, the property is located outside industrial zoning, reinforcing its residential character and protecting long-term value.
Pricing Structured Around Land Value
Total Land Area: 237,869 m²
Price: $7,950,000
Price per m²: $33.44 / m²
At this level, Villa Serena represents a highly competitive entry point within the La Garita – Grecia corridor, particularly considering that this valuation already includes:
A fully developed luxury residence
Built infrastructure totaling 3,795 m²
A private lake and established natural landscape
From an investment perspective, the pricing reflects primarily the underlying land value, with the residence and improvements incorporated as added value within the acquisition.
This creates a genuine market opportunity, where both lifestyle appeal and development potential are aligned within a single asset.
Flexible Acquisition Within a Larger Opportunity
Villa Serena forms part of a larger landholding, also available under alternative configurations:
Full Estate (46.1 hectares)
Independent Development Parcel (22.38 hectares)
This structure allows buyers to evaluate the property either as a standalone estate or as part of a broader investment strategy.
A Balance Between Privacy and Connectivity
While offering a high level of privacy and natural surroundings, Villa Serena maintains excellent connectivity to:
El Coyol and Grecia Free Zone hubs
Juan Santamaría International Airport
The main urban centers of the Central Valley
Access to Route 27 with easy connectivity to the Central Pacific Coast
A Well-Founded Investment in Costa Rica
As with any land acquisition in Costa Rica, proper evaluation of zoning, infrastructure, and long-term planning is essential .
Villa Serena offers a solid balance between immediate enjoyment and future development potential within one of the country’s most promising growth corridors.
