The Courtyard Residence - Contemporary Remodeled Neocolonial Residence with Private Pool in Hacienda del Sol, Santa Ana

The Courtyard Residence is an elegant contemporary Neocolonial residence, fully remodeled throughout, located on a quiet private street within Hacienda del Sol, one of Santa Ana’s most prestigious and well-established residential communities. Designed by the renowned firm Zurcher Arquitectos, the property blends timeless architecture with generous living spaces, high-quality finishes, and a layout thoughtfully created to fully enjoy both indoor and outdoor living. Built on a completely flat 955 m² lot, with 555 m² of construction, this home offers privacy, comfort, and an exceptional location in the heart of western San José.

Recognized as one of Santa Ana’s most exclusive residential condominiums, Hacienda del Sol stands out for its carefully planned setting, wide cobblestone streets, underground cabling, expansive green areas, and a peaceful, family-friendly residential atmosphere. Its strategic location, with immediate access to Route 27, allows you to reach Lindora, Escazú, Multiplaza, private hospitals, corporate centers, restaurants, supermarkets, and some of the country’s best international schools within just a few minutes. This unique combination of connectivity, security, and quality of life has established Hacienda del Sol as one of the most sought-after communities within the Central Valley’s luxury market.

True to its name, The Courtyard Residence is arranged around an elegant central courtyard that creates a distinctive arrival experience and allows natural light to accompany the different areas of the home. From the moment you enter, the architecture conveys balance and warmth through a carefully designed composition, where volumes, ceiling heights, and the selection of materials create a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere.

A spacious foyer leads to the impressive double-height social area, where forged-iron chandeliers, soaring ceilings, and large windows provide a remarkable sense of openness and brightness. The main living room and dining area flow seamlessly into the terraces and gardens through oversized sliding doors, creating a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The outdoor areas were designed to take full advantage of Santa Ana’s pleasant weather year-round. A generous covered terrace becomes the ideal gathering point to share with family and friends, while overlooking the modern private pool, surrounded by a wide perimeter deck and carefully designed gardens. Natural hedges provide privacy, and integrated architectural lighting enhances the residence at night, creating a warm, elegant setting for both social gatherings and moments of relaxation.

The separate kitchen combines functionality and design with a large central island, porcelain stoneware countertops, custom solid wood cabinetry, and high-end built-in appliances. Its layout offers ample work surfaces, abundant storage capacity, and excellent connection to the service area—making everyday life as effortless as hosting meetings and events.

Complementing the operation of the residence, the property includes an independent laundry area, a staff room with private bathroom, a storage attic, a covered garage for two vehicles, and additional parking space for four cars on the driveway.

The private wing has been designed to provide independence and comfort. On the main level, you’ll find a spacious family room with natural almond wood floors and an elegant exposed brick wall that adds character to the space. Its wide sliding doors offer direct connection to the terrace and pool, creating an ideal environment for entertaining or everyday family living.

Adjacent to this area is the primary suite, conveniently located on the main level. This space features almond floors, air conditioning, a generous walk-in closet, and a fully remodeled bathroom that includes a spacious double rainfall shower, a custom-designed vanity, ambient lighting, and contemporary finishes that evoke a spa-inspired experience.

On the second level, three additional bedrooms are distributed, each equipped with air conditioning, a private full en-suite bathroom, and an independent terrace with modern tempered glass and steel railings—providing privacy and comfort for all family members or guests.

The quality of the remodel is reflected in every detail of the residence. Spanish porcelain tile, natural almond wood, slate stone, European trim profiles, marble details, porcelain stoneware countertops, tempered glass and steel railings, as well as a carefully selected set of architectural finishes, come together to create an elegant, timeless environment that perfectly blends Neocolonial character with contemporary comfort.

Beyond the residence itself, Hacienda del Sol offers an exceptional lifestyle thanks to its outstanding amenities, including an elegant Clubhouse, a recreational pool with jacuzzi, a fully equipped gym, tennis courts, a children’s playground, extensive green areas, and 24-hour controlled-access security. Its flat topography and wide interior streets make it easy to enjoy walking, bike rides, and outdoor activities within a safe, well-maintained environment.
