Casa Terrosa - Puriscal, Costa Rica
Exclusive feature on Dwell.com July 16th, 2019.
Perched high above Costa Rica's Central Valley sits this one-of-a-kind mountain top dream retreat. Located in Santiago de Puriscal, this home offers the rare combination of contemporary cosmopolitan style living in the quiet, idyllic countryside. One hour to all the amenities San Jose has to offer and equally close to some of the country's most pristine Pacific coast beaches, the setting is ideal for a retirement home, vacation rental, weekend retreat or everyday living. With renovations completed at the beginning of 2019, this home takes full advantage of its surroundings with high ceilings and strategically placed full height windows to maximize unpareled mountain views and flood the space with natural light. While small in its footprint, the home was designed to maximize space without sacrificing the luxuries typically associated with more spacious properties. And while the home sits on less than a quarter acre, it is perched atop a precipice allowing for endless views. It truly has everything one could desire, without any wasting space or land encouraging a minimal, simpler lifestyle.
While aspirational, the space itself is very comfortable and inviting with warm finishes and styling throughout. Light, open and airy; all spaces utilize height and natural ventilation to take full advantage of the mountain's temperate climate and year round breezes.
