Casa Lumina. A Contemporary Three-Story Retreat in the Forests of Santa Ana

For rent: $4,800 + VAT

Santa Ana remains one of the most sought-after areas of the Central Valley, prized for its climate, its proximity to Escazú and Multiplaza, and a balance of residential calm with easy access to everything the city offers. Casa Lumina sits on a sloped, tree-covered lot where steel-and-glass architecture and cantilevered balconies seem to reach out into the surrounding canopy a design that works with the natural terrain rather than against it.

Upper Level — The Private Wing
The primary suite opens onto its own L-shaped balcony, an unusual layout that frames two distinct views of the property. Its en-suite bathroom is complete with a double jacuzzi, separate shower, and private WC. Three additional bedrooms each open onto their own linear balcony and share a second full bathroom, divided for privacy and featuring an individual jacuzzi a layout well suited for families with school-age children or for hosting guests on a regular basis.

Main Level — The Heart of the Home
The kitchen is one of the standout spaces on this floor: a central island in veined green marble, light-toned cabinetry, and a sliding glass door that opens directly onto the 50 m² deck and its built-in BBQ area the kind of space where the kitchen and the outdoors function as one. The dining area and an adjoining game room give this floor a relaxed, family-oriented feel for everyday living. A separate half-bathroom serves guests, and a guest bedroom with its own balcony and full bathroom with a soaking tub makes this floor ideal for extended family visits.

Covered Parking
The covered carport, with a zinc roof and polished concrete flooring, offers ample space for three vehicles or more part of it currently set up as an open-air workout area, which gives a sense of just how flexible the space can be.

Lower Level — Functional and Service Spaces
The 25 m² office, air-conditioned and with its own half-bathroom, is self-contained ideal for working from home or meeting with clients without disrupting the rest of the house. A staff/service bedroom has its own full bathroom, and a separate laundry room houses the washer and dryer. An enclosed storage room rounds out this level, perfect for equipment, luggage, or tools.
