La Joya Estate is a unique luxury residence located in the mountainous area of San Rafael de Heredia, one of the most impressive properties in the province. Its elegance, size, and exceptional details make it an exclusive retreat with panoramic views of the Central Valley and the surrounding mountains.
Located just 20 minutes from downtown Heredia, this privileged enclave blends the tranquility and privacy of the mountains with the convenience of access to all urban services, including government institutions, businesses, restaurants, and educational centers. The opportunity to enjoy a fresh climate, pure air, and the soothing sound of a nearby river makes this property a true sanctuary, ideal for those seeking the perfect balance between nature and modern comfort.
The property spans 9,576 m² of land with a built area of 788 m², consisting of the main residence, which includes a luxurious master bedroom with a private office and direct access to the exterior terrace, three secondary bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half-bathrooms. Additionally, there is a secondary house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a separate workshop ideal for storage or maintenance tasks.
For an additional $450,000 USD, an adjacent 8,738 m² plot is available, significantly expanding the available space for future expansion or personalized projects. One of the most notable features of La Joya Estate is its exclusivity and security, as it is part of the gated community Residencial La Joya, which includes only six properties, with restricted access controlled by the owners. The residence is accessed through an elegant electric gate, leading to a beautifully designed entrance area with contemporary and rustic architecture that blends the warmth of almond wood beams, gavilán wood ceilings, and fine cenizaro and cedar wood furnishings, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
The main expansive living room is perfect for showcasing artwork, featuring a wooden fireplace that evokes the feeling of an exclusive mountain home. The dining room connects to the front garden, offering an ideal space for hosting guests. The kitchen, designed for both function and elegant, features a triangular layout that allows easy access to key areas like the two-car covered garage, service room, attic, and laundry.
The social area is undoubtedly the heart of the home. With spectacular views of the Central Valley and the meticulously maintained gardens, this space includes an outdoor BBQ area, a terrace with large windows, dining and meeting areas, a gas fireplace, and a bar—making it the ideal spot for entertaining, whether hosting elegant dinners or relaxing with friends and family.
The secondary house, in turn, is perfect for hosting guests or generating additional income through short-term or long-term rentals, considering the area’s high rental rates and hospitality demand.
In summary, La Joya Estate is not just a luxury property, but a unique lifestyle, where nature, tranquility, and comfort combine to offer an unparalleled experience in the heart of the mountains.
