Lot 57 — Casa Zen — Alegría Village

Lot 57 — Casa Zen is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on 2,200 m² inside Alegria Village, a gated eco community in San Mateo, Alajuela, Costa Rica. Built in 2025 and designed by an artist, it is one of the most thoughtfully considered homes in the community.

The defining features are the 14ft vaulted cedar ceilings that run the full length of the home, the seamless indoor-outdoor living created by large 3-panel sliding patio doors, and a fully opening kitchen window with a pass-through to the dining area. The verandah runs the full length of the house with a deep built-in U-shaped outdoor lounger and space for yoga, dining, or projector movie nights.

Materials throughout are high quality and hand-selected. Floors, kitchen counters, and island are white concrete with crushed marble. The vaulted ceilings, beams, deck posts, French-style doors, and all walk-in closets are cedar. Kitchen and dining cabinetry is crafted in oak. The kitchen is designed as a serene, integrated part of the living space — it includes a separate pantry, dedicated coffee station, small-appliance cupboard with internal electrical, pot-filler over the stove, and pull-out composting under the sink.

The principal bedroom suite has double walk-in closets, an open wet-room shower, soaker tub, and wall-to-wall vanity. The second bedroom has a window seat the size of a single bed with storage below. The third bedroom has a loft bed and full-wall sliding door. All bedrooms and bathrooms are screened.

At the front of the home, a separate art/pottery studio has its own floating desk, oak cabinetry, crushed marble counter with sink, and direct access to the verandah for outdoor creative work.

The home was designed not to need air conditioning — two central cross-breezes run through the house, high ceilings and sufficient roof overhangs reduce heat, and cool concrete floors and ceiling fans in every bedroom handle the rest.

An herb and veggie garden runs the length of the deck — mint, basil, celery, chili peppers, sage, rosemary, thyme, oregano, dill — all accessible steps from the kitchen. Fruiting guayaba trees, bananas, plantains, and baby pejibaye grow on the property. Most furnishings are included. All appliances included except washer/dryer (laundry space is fitted and ready). Title deed ready to transfer.

Adjacent lot 56 (2,700+ m²) is also available separately from its owner. Lots 56 and 57 together are the only two lots in this section of Alegria, surrounded by protected green zones, a small river, and mountain terrain — a genuinely private position within the community.

Buyers should confirm community fees, shared infrastructure obligations, and all legal documentation with a qualified local attorney before proceeding. This listing was sourced by OGD from public information provided by Alegria Village.
