The Sentinel

Single-Level Villa in Santa Ana | 4,600 m² (1.14 Acres) with Expansion Potential

In the West San José luxury real estate market, finding a single-level property on 4,600 m² (roughly 1.14 acres) of land is, simply put, rare. Most premium inventory in Santa Ana and Escazú is built across two or three floors to maximize square footage on increasingly smaller lots. The Sentinel breaks that pattern: the entire residence unfolds on a single level, no stairs, no split levels, organized around a century-old Samán tree that has stood watch over this land for generations.

This combination land size, horizontal design, and location makes the property one of the few genuinely comparable options in the area. The 425 m² of construction occupy only a fraction of the lot, leaving 4,600 m² of mature gardens, centenary trees, and open space that few current developments can offer, and which is virtually impossible to replicate in today's Santa Ana or Escazú market, where lot subdivision has drastically reduced properties of this scale.

The single-level layout isn't just a matter of accessibility and lifestyle comfort it's a real functional advantage: three ensuite bedrooms, an integrated social area, kitchen, library, office, and guest suite, all connected seamlessly, with direct access to a terrace and private garden from the primary suite.

But perhaps The Sentinel's most strategic asset is what the land allows for the future. With 4,600 m² and less than 10% of the lot occupied by construction, the property opens the door to additional development within the same parcel whether a second independent residence, rental units, or an expansion of the main home an opportunity that virtually no comparable lot in the Santa Ana–Escazú corridor can offer today, given the scarcity of land at this scale so close to San José's urban core.

Located within a gated community, just 5 minutes from Santa Ana and 15 from Escazú, with direct access to Route 27 toward the Pacific coast, 12 miles from the International Airport, and 10 miles from downtown San José, The Sentinel offers something the current West San José market rarely makes available: real space, genuine privacy, and room to grow without sacrificing proximity or convenience.
