House in Atenas, Alajuela[CR]

400051521161 - A Bali-Modern Retreat in the Hills of Atenas — Lomas Del Paraiso - A Bali-Modern Retreat in the Hills of Atenas — Lomas Del ParaisoTranquility, Privacy, and Security — Set Above It AllTucked into the private gated community of Lomas Del Paraiso, this newly completed estate delivers exactly what so many buyers come to Atenas searching for: mountain views, total privacy, and a natural setting that feels a world away — while still being just minutes from town. Perched on the hillside with sweeping views over the Central Valley's forested ridgelines, the property is surrounded by mature trees and jungle greenery, giving it the feel of a private sanctuary rather than a neighborhood lot. Gated community access and a quiet, low-traffic setting make this an especially easy choice for retirees, remote workers, or anyone looking for a secure home base in Costa Rica.Completed this year, the home was designed with a distinct Bali-modern sensibility — clean architectural lines, deep pyramid-hipped roofs in warm cedar shake, dark volcanic stone accents, and walls of black-framed glass that dissolve the line between indoors and out. Every major room opens toward the view, and the palette throughout — cream stucco, warm walnut cabinetry, driftwood tones, and soft neutral textiles — creates a calm, grounded, resort-like atmosphere.The Main House: 3 Bedrooms, 2.5 BathsThe main residence is a single-level, light-filled home built for easy living. Vaulted ceilings, oversized sliding glass doors, and tall clerestory windows keep the interior bright and connected to the surrounding jungle canopy, while covered outdoor terraces extend the living space year-round.Living & Dining The great room centers on a full-height stone fireplace wall with a mounted TV, framed on both sides by floor-to-ceiling glass and soft linen drapery that frames long views of the hills. The adjoining dining area seats eight at a live-edge wood table beneath wrought-iron candle chandeliers and a statement wood-bladed ceiling fan, with disappearing glass doors opening onto a covered wooden deck.Kitchen A striking walnut kitchen anchors the home's social heart, with full-height cabinetry, a paneled built-in double oven, integrated refrigeration, and a black stone backsplash. A waterfall-edge island with bar seating doubles as a breakfast bar and gathering spot, finished in the same rich walnut with a honed black stone countertop.Primary & Secondary Bedrooms The primary suite is a serene retreat with a sculptural wood ceiling fan, warm plaster walls, sconce lighting, and a private ensuite bath featuring a floating vanity with matte black vessel sinks, a rainfall shower behind a frameless glass enclosure, and a freestanding soaking tub beneath a dramatic black subway-tile accent wall lit by louvered jungle-view windows. A second guest suite offers its own private bath with a sleek glass shower, black vessel sink, and the same jungle-facing louvered windows, while a third bedroom provides flexible space for family, guests, or a home office.Powder Room & Additional Bath A striking laser-cut steel screen — a botanical silhouette lit from behind — separates the elegant powder room from the entry hall, adding a sculptural design moment to a functional space.Utility A fully equipped laundry room with side-by-side washer and dryer, custom wood shelving, a built-in water filtration/dispenser system, and a utility sink keeps day-to-day living effortless.The Guest Studio: One Bedroom, Fully IndependentA detached one-bedroom studio offers true separation for guests, extended family, or rental income potential. It features its own open living and kitchenette area, dining nook, and bedroom, all wrapped in the same wall-to-wall glass and hillside views as the main house — private, self-contained, and equally finished to a high standard.Outdoor Living & GroundsThe outdoor spaces are where this property truly shines. A wood-decked lap pool sits just off the covered terrace, framed by manicured lawn and jungle backdrop — an ideal spot for morning coffee or sunset swims with the mountains as a backdrop. Multiple covered patios and lounge areas take advantage of the elevation and cooling breezes, while a private gravel motor court and warm wood entry door welcome you home behind tropical landscaping and stone garden walls.Sold Fully FurnishedThis is a true turnkey opportunity — the home is being sold completely furnished, from bedroom sets and living room furniture to kitchen essentials, allowing a new owner to move in or start hosting guests immediately with zero setup required.The Location: Lomas Del ParaisoSet within one of Atenas's most sought-after private communities, Lomas Del Paraiso offers residents a rare combination of gated security, mountain elevation, and proximity to the conveniences of town — all while remaining wrapped in native forest and long-range views of the Central Valley. It's a setting built for those who want to disconnect from the noise without disconnecting from comfort.
