Casa Guarumo is more than a residence, it is a statement of modern living where sustainability, technology, and comfort converge in perfect harmony. Every detail has been carefully crafted to embrace the natural landscape and minimize environmental impact. From its architectural design, to its advanced smart-home systems powered by renewable energy, the home was conceived to maximize well-being. The design was adapted to the terrain, allowing the views, wind conditions, and sunlight to be maximized for their utmost convenience. The orientation of the home was carefully designed to capture breathtaking panoramic views that stretch across Ciudad Col�n, the surrounding mountains, and lush forest landscapes. Sunsets can be admired from the northwest side, while every level of the house offers a unique perspective of the natural environment. The rooms are oriented towards the northwest to take advantage of the panorama provided by the land's location. These ever-changing views create a sense of connection with nature and provide a serene backdrop for daily living. The house�s layout is in the shape of a �C,� allowing all inhabited spaces to have cross-ventilation. The openings were designed to maximize the use of the breeze. The property features a hilltop gazebo, an elevated spot where the views are truly spectacular: from up there you can see Ciudad Col�n, as well as the majestic mountains that host the Po�s, Iraz�, and Turrialba volcanoes. It is also possible to watch airplanes as they approach for landing at Juan Santamar�a International Airport, a unique and fascinating detail of the landscape. At night, the scenery transforms into a breathtaking spectacle. The illuminated valley, the twinkling lights of Ciudad Col�n, and the distant glow of the mountains create a scenery that feels like a portal opening into another world.

One of the luxury homes for sale in Ciudad Colon. Designed with a 100% eco-friendly approach, the development offers 24-hour security and a wide range of amenities, the integrates a reforestation plan across its green areas, ensuring harmony with the surrounding natural environment. Within the condominium grounds, residents can observe a great variety of birds. Along the river trail, it is also possible to spot raccoons, sloths, coyotes, and deer. On the streets, iguanas and black spiny-tailed iguanas can often be seen basking in the sun. Among the shared amenities are a spacious two-level Clubhouse with a multipurpose hall, a swimming pool with wet bar, and two BBQ areas. The recreational facilities also include multiple playgrounds, a tennis court, and a multi-purpose sports court, providing a vibrant and active lifestyle for families. A �Smart Steel Framing� structure was chosen. This system uses galvanized steel profiles for the structures, including roofs, walls, floors, stairs, and others. Additionally, the �Smart Steel Framing� system achieves a high level of thermal insulation by using insulating materials in the internal cavity of the panels of the structure, resulting in energy cost savings for conditioning the rooms. Flat tiles were chosen for the roof, which also help maintain a pleasant internal environment due to their thermal properties. On one side, they act as thermal mass by slowly absorbing heat during the day and reducing its speed of entry into the interior, and at night, they release this heat, helping to maintain a relatively uniform internal temperature. The paints used are produced in Costa Rica, and it was verified that each one has a low or no content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are harmful to health. The same was checked for the wood stains and sealants used in the project. The windows used were �Europa� line, known for its robust profiles, which provide a high degree of thermal and acoustic insulation, as well as resistance to corrosion, low maintenance, and resistance to high wind loads. The wood used in pergolas, doors, stairs, and furniture was selected from a pine plantation to avoid the felling of trees in national forests. To prevent landslides and soil erosion caused by rainwater runoff, Vetiver grass was planted, as it helps prevent soil erosion better than other vegetative materials, acting as a barrier that traps sediments and forms a natural terrace. For the garden area, native species from the region were planted to attract local wildlife and help restore the ecosystem and biological corridor. There are guava, soursop, Costa Rican apple, lemon, avocado, and mango trees. Since the house has three levels, a lift was designed and installed with capacity for five people, and it can comfortably accommodate a wheelchair In the eastern section of the property, a rainwater storage tank was installed for irrigation purposes. Greywater treatment system was designed using a bio-garden, which collects water from sinks, showers, and the laundry washing station, passing it through a series of phytoremediation plants that purify the water before discharging it into an irrigation hose system located in the northwestern section of the property. The sewage water is directed to an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor, ensuring an effluent with low solid content, which extends the lifespan of the drainage systems in areas with low infiltration rates. The house is equipped with three full bathrooms, all fitted with water-efficient devices in showers, sinks, and toilets. The faucets in the showers, sinks, and kitchen are high-efficiency models. A high-efficiency 300-liter solar water heater with high pressure and a 120V 1500W electric backup system was installed. This system uses a vacuum tube solar collector with �heat pipe� technology. Hot water is supplied to bathrooms, the kitchen, and the laundry area, where high-pressure water-saving showerheads and kitchen faucets were installed. These devices mix water with air to increase the volume of the water stream, achieving water savings of up to 40%. Additionally, the washing machine is also a high-efficiency model. The house is equipped with a fully integrated smart electrical system that interconnects energy generation, efficient consumption, and intelligent control through a centralized platform. The photovoltaic system supplies clean electricity, complemented by a solar water heater for thermal needs. The system also manages household appliances, lighting, and irrigation, optimizing energy use according to real-time demand. Environmental sensors measure temperature and humidity, while smart controllers regulate windows, doors, and blinds to maintain comfort and efficiency. In addition, movement detectors trigger automatic responses, including outdoor security cameras, which activate when motion is detected, providing both safety and peace of mind. The system extends to load control devices and supports electric vehicle charging, ensuring flexibility for future mobility needs. All functions can be monitored and operated remotely through a computer or smart devices, enabling the homeowner to have full control over energy management, comfort, and security. The home includes a 1.9 kW photovoltaic system with battery backup, ensuring power supply to the office and kitchen, including internet service, during power outages. The system is equipped with online monitoring tools that provide detailed data on energy generation and consumption. There are air conditioning units installed in the master bedroom and office, both of which are inverter-type systems, recognized as the most energy-efficient models on the market. The house is connected to the time-of-use tariff from CNFL, which optimizes energy costs depending on the time of day. Combined with the solar system and smart controls, this ensures maximum savings. By programming high-consumption activities such as laundry, electric vehicle charging, or cooling during off-peak and night hours, electricity costs can be reduced by up to 80% compared to peak times. In the garage, there are 220 kw systems that allow connections for electric vehicle charging systems. To complement its sustainable design, Casa Guarumo incorporates a dedicated composting system that transforms organic waste into natural fertilizer, reducing environmental impact and closing the cycle of resources within the property. In addition, the condominium promotes a strong culture of recycling: once a week, recyclable materials are collected and transported to a designated facility where the Municipality of Mora receives and manages them appropriately. This integrated approach not only minimizes waste but also strengthens the home�s commitment to environmental stewardship and community responsibility.
