Casa Belvedere – Two-Home Estate with Tennis Court in the Foothills of Escazú

Casa Belvedere is a private hillside estate in the foothills of Escazú: two homes, eight bedrooms, a tennis court, a swimming pool and terraced gardens on about half a hectare, with views across the whole Central Valley to the mountains of Heredia. One home has never been lived in and the other has been completely remodelled.

US$1,495,000

Buying real estate worth US$150,000 or more qualifies you to apply for Costa Rica’s investor residency, and Casa Belvedere is far above that. Our sister company CRIE (Costa Rica Immigration Experts) can handle the whole process for you, in English: crie.cr

Two complete homes on one private estate open up options a single house never could:

• Two families together: parents and grown children, or brothers and sisters, each with their own home, sharing the pool, the tennis court and the gardens.
• Partners or friends buying together: each has a house of their own, behind one gate, on one estate.
• Live in one, rent the other: a long-term tenant or holiday guests in the second home can help cover the cost of owning the estate.
• A boutique B&B or retreat: eight bedrooms, a pool, a tennis court and one of the best views in the Central Valley, with the usual municipal and health permits.
• Home and office, or a guest house: work from one house and live in the other, or keep it ready for visiting family or staff.

• Two homes, eight bedrooms in all, with 5 full bathrooms and a guest bathroom — room for a large family, two families, or a main house with a guest house.
• About 2,740 m² of construction on about 5,116 m² (roughly half a hectare) of land.
• Like new: one home has never been lived in, and the other has been completely remodelled.
• Private tennis court and a swimming pool.
• Terraced gardens of palms, agaves and tropical plants, with tiled fountains, lawns and stone walkways.
• Spanish colonial style: white walls, terracotta roofs, arched terraces, beamed wooden ceilings and terracotta tile floors.
• Views over San José and the Central Valley to the mountains of Heredia — by day and as a sea of city lights at night.

Great rooms with high beamed ceilings and walls of glass facing the valley, a spiral stair to a mezzanine, kitchens with islands and stone counters, rooms with fireplaces, and tiled bathrooms with soaking tubs.

San Antonio sits in the hills above Escazú, the most sought-after address in the Central Valley. Up here the air is fresh and the climate cooler, the neighbourhood is quiet and green, and yet everything is close: Escazú’s restaurants and shops, Multiplaza and Avenida Escazú, Hospital CIMA, the international schools, and Route 27 to the airport and the Pacific beaches.

• Escazú centre: about 10 minutes
• Multiplaza Escazú and Hospital CIMA: about 15 to 20 minutes
• Juan Santamaría International Airport: about 40 minutes, depending on traffic
• Jacó and the Pacific beaches: about 1 hour 30 minutes
