This beautiful property is located in the town of Santa Ana, province of San José in Costa Rica. Santa Ana, with its dry climate and mild temperatures, is an attraction for lovers of the sun and outdoor activities.
Also called “Plantation Homes” or “French Colonials,” these types of homes are famous for their luxuriously wide porches, hinged shutters, cheerful colors, decorative lambrequins under the ceilings, arched windows, and a huge traditional balcony overlooking the long steps leading up to the main entrance.
Inspired by an iconic building on Reunion Island, an exotic sense of French colonial life comes to Costa Rica in this modern residence. By respecting traditional architectural proportions and focusing on simplicity of design, the owners created a flowing space that seamlessly combines absolute class and a feeling of easy, warm living.
The front door opens into a surprisingly spacious living/dining room flooded with natural light and ventilation. A commanding table made of exotic wood, a vast open space of sofas and ottomans, eclectic art pieces, and a cozy TV corner create both the ideal setting for entertaining friends and a dream setting for family fun. To the left, a guest bathroom, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and an outdoor extension of the living room under a very romantic porch. On the right, an office, a large modern kitchen and two cellars.

A total of 5 bathrooms, made of Tadelakt, a waterproof plaster used in Moroccan architecture. Tadelakt has a soft and wavy character, very sensual. Natural pigments and a traditional finish resulted in spectacular colors with a slight sheen.
