About The Zen House At Villa Real
Set within the prestigious Eco Residencial Villa Real in Santa Ana, one of Costa Rica’s most exclusive gated communities. The Zen House is a refined contemporary residence that seamlessly blends architecture, nature, and elevated living.
Designed by renowned architect Scott Woods and completed in 2020 by one of Villa Real’s most respected builders, this exceptional home spans 698 m² of construction, thoughtfully positioned to embrace the surrounding forest canopy and valley views. The result is a private sanctuary that feels both grounded and expansive.
The architectural language is minimalist and timeless, defined by a sophisticated palette of exposed concrete, warm wood ceilings, steel accents, and expansive glass walls. Natural light floods the interiors, while the open-plan layout creates an effortless flow between social spaces, ideal for both intimate living and large-scale entertaining.
At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen features imported Italian stainless steel countertops, integrated appliances, and sleek custom cabinetry, opening directly to the dining and living areas. These spaces extend outward to a covered terrace and an impressive infinity-edge pool, suspended above the forest and designed as a true focal point for relaxation and social gatherings.
The home offers 5 spacious bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms, with a visitors half bathroom, including a stunning primary suite with a private balcony immersed in greenery, spa-like bathroom finishes, and a serene atmosphere rarely found so close to the city.
Outdoor living is a defining feature: covered lounges, open terraces, and dining areas are framed by mature trees and conservation land, creating a constant connection to nature while maintaining total privacy.
Additional features include:
- Parking for 4 vehicles
- High-end lighting and custom wood detailing throughout
- Seamless indoor–outdoor transitions
- Located within a secure, eco-conscious community
As a resident of Villa Real, owners enjoy access to a world-class clubhouse and amenities, including tennis and padel courts, swimming pools, gym, soccer field, meeting rooms, nature trails, and protected green areas, just minutes from Santa Ana’s top schools, dining, medical services, and business centers.
The Zen House at Villa Real is not simply a home, it is an architectural experience, designed for those who value privacy, design integrity, and a deep connection to nature, without compromising proximity to San José’s most desirable urban conveniences.
