Two Charming Properties in One

Nestled in the peaceful Bello Horizonte mountains of Escazu, this cozy dual-level estate is more than a home; it’s a heartspace, crafted and cared for by a family for several decades.

With vibrant tropical gardens designed by the owner's wife, a landscape artist, and a gentle, functioning waterfall that whispers serenity, this private hillside retreat welcomes you with warmth and charm.

Surrounded by trees, birdsong, and sweeping city views, the neighborhood offers not just beauty, but a sense of calm and safety. Frequented by morning walkers, joggers, and friendly neighbors, both local and expat, with regular police patrols passing through.

This is a place where stories were lived and roots were planted. Now ready for a new guardian, it offers the rare chance to build upon something already deeply loved. Whether you dream of a creative retreat, multigenerational haven, or peaceful forever home, this estate holds the space to grow with you.

“For decades, this neighborhood has welcomed those seeking a softer way of living: artists, visionaries, and families choosing the rhythm of birdsong over city buzz, while still enjoying close access to modern conveniences.”

A solid investment for those seeking:

Land ownership without shared walls

Expansive Escazu views from both homes

Room to renovate and grow value over time

Grown Gardens, privacy, and creative freedom

Private Cozy Multi-Level Estate

Thoughtfully landscaped by the original owner’s wife, a passionate garden artist, the grounds bloom with mature tropical beauty, accented by a gentle, functioning waterfall that brings the mountain’s spirit right to your doorstep. Built by a Costa Rican-American couple to raise their two sons, this home whispers stories from every stone step and polished wooden beam.

Now, it’s ready for a new chapter. One held by a family or visionary luxury architect who values cozy privacy, mountain city views, and the value of a retreat property.

Whether you imagine a multigenerational retreat, a creative sanctuary, or a home that grows with you, this rare two-tier estate offers the space, character, and scenery to bring that dream to life.
