Casa Belvedere – Two-Home Estate with Tennis Court in San Antonio de Escazú

Casa Belvedere is a private hillside estate in San Antonio de 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

• 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
