Casa Orión

Some homes are built around a floor plan. Casa Orión was built around a philosophy.

Constructed in 2023 on 7,850 m² of land in Turrúcares, Alajuela, this contemporary single-level estate with rooftop was designed using an octagonal feng shui concept — eight sides, four cardinal orientations, and a central interior garden with a water feature at its core. The result is a home where natural light moves through the space with intention, cross-ventilation is built into the structure, and every room maintains a visual or physical connection to the surrounding landscape.
This is not a design choice. It is an architectural commitment.
The 500 m² of construction is distributed across five independent modules. Four form the main residence — open-concept living, dining, and kitchen with white quartz countertops and non-slip porcelain floors; a primary suite with soaking tub; secondary bedrooms; a game or music room; office and gym. The fifth module operates independently: covered two-car garage, service area, additional bedroom, and flexible spaces that convert naturally into a guest house, private office, or income-producing rental unit. The separation is real — guests have their own entrance, their own rhythm, their own world.
Outside, a 12 x 5 meter pool with LED lighting and a counter-current swim system anchors an expansive social terrace. Beyond it, the property opens into something less common in the Alajuela luxury market: a natural forest of mature trees and volcanic rock formations, a second yellow bark forest area with a fire pit, and night skies clear enough to observe the Milky Way without obstruction. Sunrise and sunset views frame the property from opposite ends. The name is no coincidence — on clear nights, Orion rises over this land the way it was meant to be seen, unfiltered and unhurried.
The location completes the picture. Minutes from Route 27, Casa Orión offers immediate access to San José, Escazú, Santa Ana, and the Pacific Coast — without sacrificing the privacy, silence, or scale that make this kind of estate worth owning. The property also has the potential to develop a private water well, a meaningful long-term advantage in terms of self-sufficiency and sustainability.
Available fully furnished, semi-furnished, or unfurnished. Two independent access points. Immediate occupancy.
Whether the intention is a private family estate, a wellness retreat, a boutique hospitality project, or a high-performing short-term rental investment, Casa Orión is structurally, spatially, and philosophically prepared for all of them.
