Hacienda La Esmeralda in Perez Zeledon
Perched in the mountainside just south of San Isidro de El General, Hacienda La Esmeralda is a rare blend of elegance, craftsmanship, and versatility. Spanning 3,319 square meters (over 35,000 square feet) of exquisite living space, this estate can serve as a luxurious family compound or a boutique hotel, offering world-class comfort in a breathtaking natural setting in Costa Rica. Located at 800 meters (2,625 feet) above sea level, the property enjoys a year-round temperate climate, while its 44 hectares (108 acres) of land include forested areas, pastures, coffee production, and multiple sites for additional development. The estate is a masterpiece of fine materials and expert craftsmanship. Imported Travertine and Coralina stone, Carolina Onyx facades, and Tikal marble from Guatemala grace the interiors and exteriors. The artisan-crafted ceilings feature exotic tropical woods, and custom-made ironwork details enhance the doors, chandeliers, and lighting fixtures. The main living room boasts an 11-meter vaulted ceiling, an oversized fireplace, and a 6-meter iron chandelier weighing over a ton. Accommodations include a spacious master suite with a lookout tower (2,153 sq. ft.), four lavish suites, four additional guest rooms with double queen beds, and a guest house with four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
