Mara Chimba is a rare private estate offering something exceptional in one of Costa Rica’s most desirable residential areas: an elegant tropical residence together with a completely separate building comprising five furnished, income-producing apartments.
Set on approximately 4,857 m² — 1.2 acres — of lush, mature gardens, the estate offers approximately 791 m² of total construction. It combines privacy, refined living, established rental income and long-term investment potential within minutes of Santa Ana’s international schools, restaurants, shopping centres, corporate districts and Route 27.
Two Complementary Properties Within One Estate
Mara Chimba has been thoughtfully designed to allow the main residence and the apartment building to operate independently.
Separate entrances preserve the complete privacy of the owners, while the five apartments provide an established source of rental income. This distinctive configuration makes Mara Chimba equally attractive as:
* A prestigious private residence with passive income
* A multigenerational family estate
* An executive rental property
* A corporate accommodation complex
* A boutique hospitality or wellness retreat, subject to the relevant authorisations
* A long-term real estate investment in Santa Ana
The Main Residence
Inspired by French Colonial architecture and infused with tropical Creole character, the main residence offers approximately 419 m² of elegant and comfortable living space.
The house features four spacious bedrooms, a private home office, four en-suite bathrooms and a guest powder room.
At the heart of the residence is a spectacular double-height living and dining area filled with natural light and cooled by natural cross-ventilation. The interiors open seamlessly onto generous covered terraces, the heated swimming pool and the surrounding tropical gardens.

* A spacious contemporary kitchen with central island
