Villa Serena – Lake Estate

A Private Estate Within a High-Growth Real Estate Corridor Located on 23.7 hectares in La Garita, Villa Serena combines a fully developed luxury residence, a private lake, and expansive grounds within one of the most dynamic areas of the Central Valley.

Located in the La Garita – Grecia corridor, the estate benefits from the structural drivers transforming the area: the expansion of Free Trade Zones in El Coyol, the growing demand for executive housing, and the westward expansion of the Greater Metropolitan Area.

Villa Serena represents both a high-end private estate and a land-backed investment opportunity.

Luxury Residence Ready for Immediate Occupancy
At the heart of the property is a Balinese-style tropical residence, designed to seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor spaces while maintaining privacy and spaciousness.

The residence features:
Indoor area: 1,359 m²
Outdoor areas: 2,436 m²
Total built area: 3,795 m²

It is delivered fully finished and ready to move in, allowing for immediate use as:
Private residence
Executive home
Property for high-end rentals or a hospitality concept

A Unique Natural Setting with a Private Lake
The property is characterized by its private lake and established natural surroundings, offering a level of privacy and environmental quality that is increasingly rare in the vicinity of the Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM).

This environment allows for:
A living experience focused on privacy and nature
Potential for boutique hospitality or retirement concepts
Long-term value preservation through low density

Land Value and Development Potential
In addition to the residence, Villa Serena includes 237,869 m² of land, with regulations allowing for minimum lot sizes of 2,500 m².

This opens up possibilities for:
Boutique residential development
Partial subdivision of the land while maintaining a main property
Medium- and long-term appreciation within a growing corridor
Additionally, the property is located outside of an industrial zone, which reinforces its residential character and protects its future value.

Price Structure Based on Land Value
Total Land Area: 237,869 m² Price: $7,950,000 Price per m²: $33.44/m²

At this price point, Villa Serena represents a highly competitive entry point within the La Garita – Grecia corridor, especially considering that this value already includes:

A fully developed luxury residence
3,795 m² of constructed infrastructure
Private lake and established natural surroundings

From an investment perspective, the price primarily reflects the land value, incorporating the residence and improvements as added value within the acquisition. This creates a genuine market opportunity, where both lifestyle value and development potential align in a single investment.

Flexible Acquisition
Within a Larger Opportunity, Villa Serena is part of a larger property, also available in other configurations:

Entire property (46.1 hectares)
Separate development lot (22.38 hectares)
This allows you to evaluate the acquisition as an independent property or as part of a broader investment strategy.

Balance Between Privacy and Connectivity
Despite its private and natural setting, Villa Serena maintains excellent connectivity to: El Coyol and Grecia with their Free Trade Zone hub, Juan Santamaría International Airport, main urban centers of the Central Valley, access to Route 27, and easy access to the beaches of the Central Pacific.

A Well-Founded Investment in Costa Rica
As with any land acquisition in Costa Rica, it is essential to consider aspects such as land use, infrastructure, and long-term planning.

Villa Serena offers a solid balance between immediate enjoyment and future development potential, within one of the country's most promising development corridors.
