Crown Jewel Estate & Development Opportunity in Alto Las Palomas — 10.5 Hectares with Panoramic Views and Exceptional Potential


In the heart of Alto Las Palomas, perched between the prestigious enclaves of Santa Ana and Escazú, lies one of the most compelling and rare opportunities in Costa Rica’s Central Valley real estate market. This exceptional 10.5-hectare (25.9-acre) estate unites every key element sought by discerning investors and developers: a coveted location, natural privacy, unmatched views, development flexibility, and income-generating potential—all offered at a competitive value.


Unbeatable Location with Total Privacy

Tucked away off a quiet residential street with minimal traffic, the property is conveniently located just minutes from:

  • Santa Ana’s bustling town center

  • Escazú’s top restaurants, retail centers, and international schools

  • The major highway networks connecting the area to San José and the Pacific coast

Despite its accessibility, the property maintains a remarkable sense of seclusion, bordered by lush gardens, mature trees, and breathtaking valley and mountain views, giving it the feel of a rural countryside retreat while being centrally positioned in one of the country's most sought-after regions.

Property Features

  • Total Area: 10.5 hectares (25.9 acres)

  • Parcel Composition: Four individual, titled plots—offering flexibility for phased development or resale

  • Current Use:
    A fully built home currently leased to a private school, offering stable short-term income
    Internal roads and landscaping already in place for ease of access and development staging

  • Topography: Gently rolling with multiple natural building sites, ideal for capturing unobstructed panoramic views

  • Views: Sweeping vistas of the Central Valley, Escazú hillsides, and surrounding mountain ranges

  • Natural Buffers: The property backs onto protected green zones and mountain ridgelines, ensuring long-term privacy and tranquility

To the right, the property borders one of the area’s most exclusive gated communities—home to luxury high-rises and multimillion-dollar estates—underscoring the property’s prestigious surroundings.


Versatile Development Potential

Whether your vision involves a private, multi-residence compound or an upscale residential development, this property delivers the foundation for a standout project:

  • Private luxury estate compound with extensive gardens, guest homes, and wellness amenities

  • Boutique gated community featuring high-end residences with shared green spaces and exclusive access

  • Low-density, luxury horizontal development designed to complement the natural landscape and maximize views

  • Wellness retreat, private club, or corporate campus taking advantage of the peaceful yet accessible setting

The gently sloped topography allows for strategic positioning of homes or buildings, all with spectacular views and minimal land movement required.


Investment Highlights

  • Income-producing asset: The current lease with the school provides immediate returns and flexible holding strategy

  • Multiple titled parcels: Allows for phased development, resale options, or individual estate design

  • Prestige location: A rare find in an area where large parcels are increasingly scarce

  • Existing infrastructure: Gated access, internal roads, and landscaping significantly reduce initial development costs

  • Strong comparables: Neighboring high-end communities and estate homes support luxury pricing and demand

A Rare and Irreplaceable Opportunity

Land of this scale, setting, and versatility is virtually unheard of in the modern Santa Ana–Escazú corridor. Whether you're envisioning Costa Rica’s next iconic residential enclave, a private family sanctuary, or a high-value investment vehicle, this Alto Las Palomas estate offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape a true legacy property.
