Casa de Oro is a one of kind luxury estate on over 7,500 sq. meters in San Antonio de Escazu with a privileged view of the central valley. The home is entered through a three meter high bronze door, giving it an unquestionable Thai feel. Designed by architect Enrique Barascout, the masterpiece combines natural elements of wood and stone to give the home a warm yet sophisticated feel throughout. With an abundance of windows and 3 meter high glass doors, this exceptional home basks in natural light, surrounds itself with spectacular vistas, and interacts peacefully with the natural ambiance outside its walls.
When the bronze doors open, you walk into the open living and dining room anchored by a wood burning fireplace, 30 foot ceilings, and impressively crafted solid almendro wood beams. This living area opens to the front porch with almendro decking and magnificent views over the lawn and pool to the city and mountains below.
The first floor has a magnificent courtyard with a soothing custom stone fountain. The east wing houses the kitchen with poggenpohl cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. The west side has a fabulous office space with a custom half moon desk and custom textured wall painted by New York artist Darrien Sherman.
The west wing has an impressive master suite that opens to the garden, pool area, and panoramic views. The ceiling features indirect lighting and the master bath has double sinks, shower, and tub all done in a spectacular white marble for a refined and luxurious experience.
Upstairs there are two guest bedrooms each with a private bath and unique design features. Behind the kitchen and above the garage is the newly refinished guest house with a full bath and separate access.
Swim the pool, BBQ on the deck, light a fire a night, and turn up the fully integrated sound system remotely and start living the good life. You will never want to leave.
