Property Description
Villa Serena is a 23.7-hectare private estate located in La Garita, within the La Garita–Grecia corridor, one of the fastest-growing areas in the Central Valley. The property benefits from key drivers such as the expansion of free trade zones in El Coyol, increasing demand for executive housing, and the westward growth of the Greater Metropolitan Area. It combines a fully developed luxury residence, a private lake, and expansive land, positioning it as both a high-end residence and a land-backed investment.
At its center is a Balinese-style tropical residence designed to integrate indoor and outdoor living with privacy and openness. The home offers 1,359 m² of covered space and a total of 3,795 m² of construction. It is fully finished and ready for immediate use as a private residence, executive home, or high-end rental property.
The estate's natural environment is a defining feature. A private lake and mature green areas create a setting focused on privacy, nature, and environmental quality, elements that are increasingly rare near the Greater Metropolitan Area. This also allows for potential boutique hospitality or retreat concepts while maintaining low density and long-term value preservation.
The property includes 237,869 m² of land with zoning that allows minimum lot sizes of 2,500 m². This provides flexibility for a boutique residential development, partial subdivision while maintaining a primary estate, or long-term land appreciation. Its location outside industrial zones reinforces its residential character and protects future value.
Priced at $7,950,000 ($33.44/m²), the investment is primarily supported by land value, with the residence, lake, and existing infrastructure included as added value. This represents a competitive entry point within the corridor, particularly given the level of development already in place.
Villa Serena is part of a larger property, offering additional acquisition options, including the full estate or a separate development plot, allowing investors to tailor the opportunity to their strategy.
Despite its private setting, the property offers excellent connectivity to El Coyol, Grecia, Juan Santamaría International Airport, major urban centers, and Route 27, with efficient access to the Central Pacific.
Villa Serena presents a balanced opportunity between immediate use and future development within a corridor where large-scale properties with clear zoning are increasingly scarce.
