A calm, white modernist family house in a gated enclave above Santa Ana.

$1,690,000
Residencia Altavista was completed in 2021 for a family who intended to stay, and the house shows it: storage where storage is actually needed, a kitchen built for daily cooking rather than photography, and a garden that has had four years to grow in.
The architecture is quiet white modernism — flat roofs, deep reveals, a courtyard at the centre that brings light into the middle of the plan. The main living space runs the width of the house and opens onto a covered terrace and lawn, with the hills of Santa Ana beyond.
The enclave has controlled access, twelve houses in total, and is a fifteen-minute drive from the international schools in Escazú. Four bedrooms upstairs, a study and guest room at ground level, and covered parking for three cars.
Santa Ana sits slightly lower and further west than Escazú, which makes it noticeably warmer and drier — a difference of a few degrees that matters a great deal day to day. The valley opens up here, the hills are gentler, and there is more horizontal space.
Exact coordinates are shared with qualified buyers during a private viewing.
