The Scoop

ID# 117469. Single-Level Architectural Masterpiece in Valle del Sol, Costa Rica. I 1,504 m² lot I 1,255 m² total construction. This is not a house. This is a statement. Set on a 1,504 m² lot with 1,255 m² of total construction, Casa Brutale stands among the most architecturally significant residences ever offered for sale in Valle del Sol, Santa Ana—the premier golf community on the west side of San José. Conceived on one single level with zero steps (only a teak sky deck above), the home captures elevated, uninterrupted views over the protected golf course green area and lake, delivering rare privacy, visual scale, and a constant connection with nature that defines Costa Rica real estate at its finest. The architectural language pays homage to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and the iconic Barcelona Pavilion. Exterior façades and interior floors are wrapped in Italian travertine marble, while light wood walls and ceilings add warmth and acoustic elegance. Custom shelving subtly references the geometric compositions of Piet Mondrian. The result is a residence where architecture, art, and materials become the living experience. The layout features six en-suite bedrooms, three with walk-in closets, including a private guest wing with independent access, two suites, and its own TV lounge. The primary suite (approx. 105 m²) operates as a private spa, with soaking tub, dual showers, dual vanities, dual toilets, two walk-in closets, plus an outdoor jacuzzi and shower immersed in greenery. A dramatic interior courtyard anchors the home, flooding every space with natural light and enabling ideal cross-ventilation for Costa Rica’s climate. Above it, a cantilevered office floats with direct views to the golf course. The social core is defined by two designer kitchens with SMEG appliances and a one-of-a-kind custom island. A full staff apartment for two connects seamlessly to the secondary kitchen. Amenities continue with a large TV lounge featuring a retractable floor-rising TV, gym, sauna, wine cellar, storage rooms, toys room, and a signature BBQ social area. Outdoors, teak defines the lifestyle through a circular river/yoga deck, 100 m² and 20 m² garden decks, and a 360° panoramic sky deck. The centerpiece is a glass infinity pool overflowing on all four sides (15.7 × 4.7 m) with swim lane, integrated bathtub, and solar heating maintaining water temperatures between 28–31°C year-round. LED lighting throughout, solar hot water, and covered parking for 4–5 cars plus 3 motorcycles complete the property’s technical excellence. Located minutes from Route 27, Escazú, top private schools, leading clinics, fine dining, and just 30 minutes from Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO), Casa Brutale is a true collector’s residence within the Valle del Sol golf community—crafted for buyers who understand architecture, scale, privacy, and the rarity of owning a landmark home in Santa Ana real estate.
