This Spectacular Luxury Home Embraces Timeless Elegance and Exalts Its Wonderful Natural Surroundings.
In the quaint setting of Piedades de Lies, a magnificent Spanish Hacienda stands as a testament to a bygone era of quality, elegance, and sophistication. With a sprawling 6,400 square meters of manicured lawns and gardens, this estate shines as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity within the already exclusive Santa Ana market.
Located less than three kilometers from Highway 27, the strategic location provides unmatched access to the endless summer of the Central Pacific Coast, while simultaneously being just twenty minutes from downtown San Jose, and right next to all the cosmopolitan comforts of the Santa Ana area, like international cuisine, high-end entertainment options, and delightful shopping plazas. There’s no better blend of tranquility and convenience in the area.
Beyond its strategic location, Colonial Hacienda is nestled within a truly magical environment. The property boasts breathtaking views of the Poas and Barva volcanoes, the Central Valley, and a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Nicoya. A private drive leads to a cobblestone entrance with a covered two-car garage and additional parking spaces, and a second back entrance connects to the charming town of Piedades, enhancing the property's accessibility.
Designed in the classic Spanish Colonial tradition, the home showcases meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. A solid structure with a poured concrete foundation, original tile and parquet flooring, vaulted and beamed ceilings, and hardwood furnishings creates an ambiance of timeless beauty. The estate retains many original chandeliers, light fixtures, and faucets, offering the option to restore them to their original glory or replace them to suit the buyer's taste.
The main floor welcomes guests into a great room featuring a central fireplace, a breakfast nook, wrap-around windows, and a spacious terrace. The Primary Suite, with a living area, private balcony, and ensuite bath with a vintage claw-foot bathtub, occupies one side. The remarkable kitchen, complete with custom-crafted wooden cabinetry, a central island, and granite-topped counters, is opposite the great room. Two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a common lounge area, and a private patio grace the ground floor.
Outdoor living is encouraged with a covered rancho and BBQ area, while the ample, gently sloping lawn provides an ideal space for a future swimming pool. This property, with its original charm and potential for enhancement, is a true hidden gem in this coveted market. Priced to sell, Colonial Hacienda offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying the comforts of modern living.
