Vela Home at Villa Real

Vela at Villa Real is a brand new contemporary residence in Costa Rica defined by dramatic mountain views, generous proportions, and an architectural concept that gives the home the feeling of being suspended above the landscape. Set on a 1,495 m² homesite within the established Villa Real gated community, the approximately 850 m² residence opens toward Escazú, Santa Ana, and the western mountains, placing changing light and sunset views at the center of the experience.

The architecture is modern and linear, combining strong structural lines with a restrained palette of wood, steel, natural stone, and neutral finishes. Expansive glazing creates a continuous visual connection with the surrounding mountains, while warm timber surfaces and integrated lighting soften the contemporary character of the interiors. The result is a home that feels substantial yet composed, with materials and proportions doing much of the architectural work.

At the center of Vela, the living room, dining area, and kitchen come together within a dramatic double height social space. Floor to ceiling glass extends across the mountain facing side of the residence, drawing the landscape into the interiors and creating a striking sense of elevation. The openness of the layout is balanced by warm finishes and carefully defined architectural elements, giving the main living areas a sophisticated but comfortable atmosphere.

Indoor and outdoor spaces are designed to read as one continuous experience. Broad openings orient the principal living areas toward the views, allowing the surrounding mountains, shifting cloud cover, and western light to become part of the interior environment throughout the day. The elevated position reinforces the sensation of openness without distracting from the clean architectural composition.

The residence includes five en suite bedrooms, with the private spaces designed to maintain the same relationship with the landscape. The primary suite is generously proportioned and oriented toward uninterrupted mountain views, creating a more private counterpoint to the expansive social areas. Full service quarters provide additional functionality within the overall layout.

A dedicated multifunctional room adds another layer to the home. Conceived for use as a wine cellar, private lounge, game room, or entertainment area, the space allows the future owner to shape it around individual preferences. It offers a warmer, more intimate atmosphere here, with integrated wood cabinetry, ambient lighting, and large openings that continue to frame the mountains beyond.

Currently under construction with estimated completion in early 2027, Vela offers the opportunity to acquire a newly built residence within Villa Real, combining contemporary architecture, substantial interior volume, five en suite bedrooms, flexible entertainment space, and extensive western mountain views.

Villa Real is an established gated community between Escazú and Santa Ana, with direct access to Route 27 and convenient connectivity to the west side of San José. Its landscaped setting and proximity to a natural reserve create a residential environment closely connected to greenery.

With its elevated setting, linear architecture, warm natural materials, and panoramic outlook, Vela at Villa Real presents a refined interpretation of contemporary residential living in Villa Real, Costa Rica.
