La Estancia de Maynard

Tucked behind an elegant colonial-style wall, La Estancia de Maynard is a private and character-filled retreat in one of Escazú’s most established and central neighborhoods. From its lush, vine-covered façade to internal pathways lined with fruit trees, the property exudes authenticity, tranquility, and a sense of belonging from the moment you arrive.

Located just steps from the heart of Escazú in Barrio Maynard, this single-level residence blends the charm of classic architecture with a practical layout, surrounded by mature gardens, verdant views, and complete privacy across more than 2,300 m² of fully fenced grounds. The home has been carefully renovated and maintained, preserving original details such as solid wood finishes, high coffered ceilings, ceramic floors, spacious corridors, and inviting nooks throughout.

The main house features three air-conditioned bedrooms, including a primary suite with dual walk-in closets and a spa-style bathroom with jacuzzi and natural light. Two living rooms, a formal dining area, a generous office with two workspaces, an open mezzanine above the living area, a traditional kitchen with custom wood cabinetry, breakfast nook, large laundry room, and staff quarters complete the interior. Expansive windows and wooden doors connect every space seamlessly to the outdoors, opening onto covered terraces, the pool, gardens, and native trees.

Additional spaces at La Estancia de Maynard include two versatile colonial-style structures, ideal as independent guest suites, rental units, studios, or remote workspaces. Both are fully detached from the main residence, offering flexibility and added value. One is a self-contained apartment at the property’s entrance, with living-dining area, kitchen, one bedroom, and a full bathroom. The second is set at the rear of the property amid the gardens, featuring a covered terrace open to the greenery, a sauna area, full bathroom, and space to add a kitchenette. Adjacent is a large storage room that could easily be converted into an additional bedroom. Other structures include storage rooms, a machine room, gardening area, and a small workshop.

The meticulously landscaped gardens are both beautiful and productive, with edible species such as lemon, fig, and mango trees. Shaded pathways and seating areas invite quiet moments of reading, reflection, or simply enjoying the sounds of local birds.

The private pool sits directly in front of the spacious covered terrace, creating a seamless transition between indoor living and outdoor relaxation. In one of the multi-use units, a private sauna crafted from natural wood offers a space for deep relaxation in the comfort of home.

This property offers the rare opportunity to live within walking distance of supermarkets, restaurants, schools, and services, without sacrificing privacy or a connection to nature. Its flexible layout and multiple buildings make it ideal as a family residence, luxury Airbnb, retreat space, or wellness center.
