Villa Monteluna - Italian Style Hillside Estate in Santa Ana

Description

Villa Monteluna stands as a rare architectural gem in Costa Rica—a European-inspired estate that combines timeless classical design with modern engineering, set high in the exclusive hills of Santa Ana. Situated within a private gated enclave, this remarkable 970 m² residence spans three levels and occupies a full hectare of beautifully landscaped grounds surrounded by mature trees and manicured gardens. The residence welcomes visitors through an elegant private entrance framed by an artisan wrought-iron gate, a charming bridge, and a stately driveway that opens to the main house, crowned by its distinctive campanile dome—a signature architectural element rarely seen in Costa Rica. This iconic feature sets the tone for the refined character throughout the property. The main level showcases a dramatic double-height entrance hall, a travertine marble staircase with artisan wrought-iron balustrades, and handcrafted wood cabinetry including built-in library spaces. The social areas comprise elegant formal living and dining rooms designed for entertaining, an executive office, and a guest suite, all opening onto expansive terraces that capture panoramic valley views. Two large gourmet kitchens feature granite islands, custom cabinetry, and walk-in pantries—perfect for hosting and family life. The upper level features a spacious library with private entrance, and three generous suites, each offering privacy, walk-in closets, and sitting areas. The primary suite and family lounge open to panoramic terraces where mountain views and stunning sunsets become part of daily life. The lower level provides exceptional versatility with a games or guest room, wine cellar, laundry and service areas, and a three-car garage. Beyond the main residence, the estate includes an independent two-bedroom guest or staff house, a guardhouse at the entrance, and a large storage building. Built with advanced anti-seismic engineering that exceeds Costa Rican standards, the home features a reinforced steel structure and specialized construction designed for exceptional durability and long-term peace of mind. The property captures sweeping mountain and valley views while maintaining complete tranquility—a increasingly rare combination in this prime Central Valley location. Villa Monteluna is ideally situated just minutes from Escazú, international schools, fine dining, private hospitals, and corporate centers, offering the perfect balance between privacy, nature, and convenience. This is a legacy estate for families seeking a private compound with architectural presence, or investors looking for a distinguished property in one of the most desirable areas of the Central Valley.
