Villa Lumina @ Los Laureles

Villa Lumina embodies architecture as art. From the moment its façade comes into view, floor-to-ceiling glass walls and a six meter backlit quartzite panel announce something entirely out of the ordinary. Situated in Los Laureles, one of Escazú’s most sought-after addresses on the west side of the Central Valley of Costa Rica, this residence represents the convergence of architectural artistry, world class materials, and cutting edge home automation technology. No image fully captures it. Only crossing the threshold does. The heart of the villa commands attention immediately: a triple-height, column-free great room flooded with natural light through walls of glass. Formal living, dining, and multiple lounge areas flow seamlessly over Italian marble floors, anchored by two extraordinary stone features, a three meter illuminated quartz panel and a backlit blue onyx slab that functions as a living natural painting. The Italian kitchen pairs form and function with marble countertops, brand new KitchenAid appliances, and direct garden views. A ceiling-mounted TV with an automated 180 degree rotation system disappears into the architecture when not in use. The residence unfolds across three split levels, designed for future elevator installation, with two secondary bedrooms, one featuring a private terrace and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, and a master suite conceived as a true private retreat. Solid hardwood floors, a soaring sura wood ceiling, space for an office or sitting area, and a double bathroom with voice-controlled shower settings define a space that feels more like a sanctuary than a bedroom. All three suites are fully clad in marble. Technology here is woven into the design itself. The Bticino home automation system integrates 17 applications, lighting, climate control, audio, blinds, doors, and more, fully operable from anywhere in the world via smartphone. Solar panels, a power generator, an ADT security system, 16 surveillance cameras, and on-site private security complete an infrastructure built for absolute peace of mind. Outside, a garden of over 2,400 plants, ancient trees, a waterfall pond, and a fully equipped gazebo create a private natural oasis. The rooftop terrace, with 270 degree panoramic views, offers a blank canvas for a jacuzzi, gym, or fourth bedroom. Situated in Los Laureles, one of Escazú’s most coveted residential neighborhoods, Villa Lumina benefits from a location defined by strategic access, strong infrastructure, and a calm, secure residential setting. From here, residents connect quickly to key points across Escazú, including La Paco, Multiplaza Escazú, and the Guachipelín business district, while the old road also provides a convenient route toward Santa Ana. Daily conveniences such as supermarkets, wellness spaces, and well-regarded restaurants are all just minutes away. For families, the location also offers close proximity to respected bilingual schools including Blue Valley, Saint Mary, and Lighthouse International School. Villa Lumina is not simply a luxury property on the market. It is an invitation to
