Luxe Durable à La Eco Villa à San Mateo

Set within the private gated community of La Ecovilla, a thoughtfully designed regenerative development spanning approximately 17 hectares of preserved natural landscape, this property offers a rare opportunity to experience a lifestyle rooted in nature, wellness, and connection. Ideally located just under an hour from San José and within easy reach of the Pacific coast, the setting balances privacy with accessibility.

Positioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the residence enjoys exceptional privacy and a peaceful setting immersed in nature. The home spans 315 m² (3,391 sq ft) and features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, thoughtfully designed to reflect the natural beauty of its surroundings. Set on a generous 2,500 m² lot (0.62 acres), the home is constructed from rare tropical hardwoods, sustainably sourced from naturally fallen trees, and showcases traditional bahareque (wattle and daub) construction. The result is a warm, grounded aesthetic that feels both rustic and refined. The property is further enhanced by solar panels, supporting a more sustainable and energy-efficient lifestyle.

Natural materials are integrated throughout, with stone and rock elements thoughtfully incorporated into the architecture, including custom stair features that anchor the space. Expansive patios extend the living areas outdoors, offering sweeping mountain views and creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The grounds are equally compelling. Lush gardens are woven with walking paths and a variety of fruit trees, while a tranquil creek runs along the back of the property. A large pond further enhances the setting, creating a peaceful environment that reflects the essence of La Ecovilla living.

A fully independent one-bedroom, one-bathroom casita provides additional flexibility, ideal for hosting guests or generating rental income.

La Ecovilla offers a thoughtfully designed collection of shared amenities centered around connection, wellness, and nature. Residents enjoy a central community rancho that serves as a gathering space for events and shared experiences, along with organic gardens and edible landscaping that reflect the community’s focus on sustainable living.

Open-air wellness areas provide space for yoga, movement, and workshops, while walking paths and nature trails weave throughout the community, creating a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. The setting encourages a lifestyle that is both grounded and connected, with an emphasis on simplicity and intentional living. The community is also home to the highly regarded Real World School, offering an innovative, nature-based educational experience that further enhances the appeal for families.

This is a home designed for those seeking a deeper connection to nature, where thoughtful design, natural materials, and a preserved landscape come together in a truly unique offering.
