A private garden is one of the greatest pleasures in life. Having the comfort of an open-air space, surrounded by plants and flowers, helps us to recover that tranquility that we so much need in a society as hectic as we currently live in. This year has taught us that our home should be more than just a house, it should be a space for enjoyment and what better way to enjoy than with a garden!

 

Especially with the panorama that we have lived in 2020, we have learned to adapt to a new normality, where we value moments of peace and tranquility more than ever, why not include a home with a garden within this new normality?

 

Below we bring you some examples of houses that include green spaces and we explain the benefits of them.

 

House at Dendera Condo, Santa Ana

 

Internal garden at house in Dendera Condo

 

This house, in addition to being an independent house located in a condominium of only 30 other houses, has a characteristic that is difficult to find: it is surrounded by gardens! It not only has an internal patio, but also to the side, taking advantage of a natural wall of vine. The house is fully integrated with nature in a very elegant way.

 

Having green all around guarantees natural light to all areas of the house, extra ventilation and a sense of spaciousness in the rooms, because having a garden feels like an added extension.

 

“This house takes advantage of a side garden that borders the rooms, which is perfect because each member of the household has direct access to the patio. And spaces like the one seen in the photo can be used to make a common outdoor room “

– Mario Barrantes, Nativu Santa Ana and Escazú

 

Other characteristics of this beautiful house is that each of the 3 bedrooms has a private bathroom, it is a one-story house, which is difficult to find today where most developers opt for vertical homes.

 

It has high quality finishes, such as marble floors, high ceilings, air conditioning in the main room, etc.

 

Garden int he middle of the City

 

Another point in favor of this property is its location in Lindora. This is a very exclusive area and close to convenience centers, entertainment, health, roads in good condition and more.

 

A great plus is that it is one of the 5 areas with the highest surplus valué in Costa Rica. Therefore, buying a property in this area is a very wise investment if you want to sell in the future.

 

On the other hand, although Lindora is very modern and urban, the fact of having a house that has green areas as spacious as this one, makes it even more special and original. Because you have the best of both worlds; the tranquility of nature and fresh air, along with the comforts of the city!

 

4 reason to have a garden at home

 

Now, it is vital that you consider the following benefits of having a house with a garden in Costa Rica, because it goes far beyond just aesthetics:

 

  1. An extra area included!
    As shown in the example above, you can add different pieces of furniture to your garden or patio, back or side and thus have the perfect space for gatherings of all kinds: birthdays, baby showers, barbecue parties. It will be a cool and pleasant meeting area.
  2. Ventilation and natural light
    You feel a big difference when you live between 4 concrete walls, versus when you have the option to include plants or even better a whole garden. They transform carbon dioxide into clean oxygen, allow fresh air and light to circulate, and make a beautiful sight to relax in, even indoors.
  3. Encourage outdoor activities
    One of the main benefits that garden houses represent in Costa Rica is the possibility of having your own space to activate the body or share with the family.

    Having a private garden allows you to calmly schedule an exercise routine at home, organize family events or just spend some time taking a breath of fresh air. They are small habits that will help you be healthy, both physically and mentally.

  4. They add value to your home
    If by A or B you decide to sell in the future, the fact that your house has a garden will make it more attractive and competitive in the market, compared to other properties. Because the reality is that not everyone has that luxury.
