Emerald Hills Compound sits at the foothills of Piedades de Santa Ana, where the landscape begins to open toward the Central Valley. What defines the property is not just its size (one full hectare) but the fact that it is already built into. With multiple structures in place and its own water source, this is a property that can be used from day one while still leaving space for something larger to take shape over time.

Property Highlights

  • One hectare landholding: A rare scale in Piedades that allows for privacy, expansion, or future development.

  • Existing built infrastructure: Two main homes, a studio, caretaker’s house, and storage already in place.

  • Private water well: 120-meter depth with steady capacity, supporting both current use and long-term planning.

  • Flexible use potential: Suitable as a private compound, multi-residence estate, or phased development project.

  • Natural setting with proximity: Surrounded by greenery and mountain air, yet minutes from Santa Ana’s services.

“Properties like this are defined by what they allow you to do over time. You’re not starting from zero. There’s already structure, water, and space. It gives you the freedom to live in it now and evolve it as your plans become clearer.”

One of the strongest aspects of Emerald Hills is how much of the groundwork is already in place. The presence of multiple residences changes the timeline entirely. This is not a property that requires immediate large-scale construction to become functional. Instead, it allows for a more gradual, intentional approach.

Each structure can take on a role depending on the owner’s needs, whether that means housing extended family, hosting guests, accommodating staff, or supporting a broader development concept. This flexibility is increasingly difficult to find in properties of this size within the Central Valley.

The private water well further strengthens that independence. In a property designed for scale, having a reliable, on-site water source is a long-term advantage that supports both livability and future expansion.

Esmerald Hills Location in Piedades de Santa Ana

Emerald Hills is located in Piedades de Santa Ana, an area known for its balance between accessibility and a more open, residential environment. Set at the foothills, the property benefits from slightly cooler temperatures, fresh air, and views that extend across the Central Valley.

Despite this sense of separation, Santa Ana’s core, with restaurants, schools, supermarkets, and business centers, is only a short drive away. This combination of privacy and connectivity is what continues to make Piedades one of the most desirable areas for those looking to move slightly outside the city without losing access to it.
