If you’re a Hispanic buyer based in Miami, New York or Houston watching Lima from afar, the penthouse San Isidro sale market is the narrowest, most competitive slice of Lima’s luxury real estate. Active listings as of May 2026 sit between US$1.2M and US$2.75M for verified units in the Country Club–El Golf area. To put it in Brickell terms: this is Lima’s equivalent of Brickell Key plus Coral Gables, except the air is cleaner and the cap rates are still favorable. Here are ten real penthouses currently for sale, with square meters, micro-location, and price range when verifiable, plus the editorial context this category was missing.

Why San Isidro and why a penthouse

San Isidro Sur is the most expensive square meter (sqm) in Metropolitan Lima. Urbania reported S/12,097 per sqm (around US$3,225/sqm at May 2026 exchange rates) for the El Golf zone, against S/6,806 for the metropolitan average at year-end 2025 (Urbania Index via La Republica, December 2025). The full San Isidro district leads the national ranking at S/9,231/sqm, ahead of Barranco (S/9,161) and Miraflores (S/8,670). In boutique buildings facing the Lima Golf Club, active listings push past S/14,000/sqm — about US$3,750/sqm.

Step up to the penthouse universe and supply tightens fast. Think top-floor units, private terraces ranging from 100 sqm (about 1,076 sqft) to 240 sqm (around 2,580 sqft), built area between 140 sqm and 620 sqm, and cross views to the Pacific, the golf course or the El Olivar grove. These are not “big apartments with one extra floor”: they sit at the top of the building, with private elevators, double lobby entrances, multi-level storage, and — at projects like The Grand — branded partnerships with Audi.

The key takeaway for you as a buyer based abroad: penthouses don’t get marked down the way flats do. When a good one hits the market, it disappears fast. Decision lag costs money.

Penthouse San Isidro sale: the 10 units on the market today

This list mixes pre-sale projects with finished, ready-to-deliver units. Prices and specifications come from official developer communications and active listings as of May 2026. We tag any data we couldn’t independently verify as [TO BE VERIFIED].

1. The Grand penthouse — Av. Pezet at Coronel Portillo

The most talked-about new build in the district. The Grand is a Grupo Octagon project designed by Carlos Ott — the architect behind the Opera Bastille in Paris, Jade Ocean in Sunny Isles, Echo Brickell, and Waldorf Astoria Miami — together with Lima’s Carlos Ponce de Leon. The tower runs 22 levels, more than 70 meters tall, with 7 basement levels, 72 total units and a private elevator to each apartment. Penthouse units sit at the top, with near-infinite views over the Lima Golf Club, the city skyline and the Pacific. Layouts span 150 sqm to 310 sqm in flats, duplexes and penthouses. Interiors by Jordi Puig and Claudia Paz. Confirmed Audi partnership for the lobby. Pricing starts at US$560,000 for flats; penthouses run US$1.2M – US$2M [TO BE VERIFIED exact penthouse range as of May 2026].

2. Luxury penthouse facing Lima Golf Club — Av. Pezet at Av. Portillo

Active listing through De Lujo Real Estate. A 620-sqm penthouse with a private 240-sqm terrace, three primary bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, double-entrance lobby, swimming pool, kids’ pool, cooking zone, bar, terrace, spa and jacuzzi designed by Jordi Puig and Claudia Paz. Cross views over Lima Golf Club, the financial district and the ocean. List price: US$2,158,500 (previously listed at US$2,750,000, per broker communications). The square meters and location confirm the thesis: facing the Golf, a San Isidro penthouse trades at roughly three times the district average per sqm.

3. Four-bedroom penthouse with pool — facing Lima Golf Club

A second penthouse via the same broker (De Lujo Real Estate), also fronting the Lima Golf Club. Four bedrooms, private pool, square meters [TO BE VERIFIED]. Price upon request. The structural difference versus unit #2: here the pool sits inside the penthouse, not in common areas — which changes both how you use it and what HOA pays to maintain it.

4. Country Club duplex penthouse — Santo Toribio at Choquehuanca

Duplex penthouse with a private upper-level pool. 500 sqm total, 400 sqm built. The building is 13 years old. Panoramic views over the Country Club neighborhood and the Lima Golf Club. Santo Toribio street concentrates several premium buildings, partly because it’s a walkable distance to the Lima Golf Club itself and to the Begonias-Las Begonias financial center. Active listing through broker. Price upon request [TO BE VERIFIED list price].

5. Country Club duplex penthouse — 12th floor, golf-facing

12th-floor duplex penthouse in Country Club, San Isidro. 640 sqm total, 500 sqm built. Four bedrooms on the duplex’s lower level. Classic duplex format — social areas downstairs, private quarters with terrace upstairs. This unit illustrates a Country Club pattern: top-of-tower penthouses above 500 sqm cycle through the secondary market, with buyers already living in the neighborhood and trading up. Active listing through premium portals [TO BE VERIFIED price].

6. Country Club penthouse — 15th floor, cross views

Roughly 250-sqm penthouse on the 15th floor of a Country Club tower. Four bedrooms, primary bedroom with exterior exposure, two bedrooms with private bathrooms, naturally lit living-dining area, full kitchen, guest bathroom, jacuzzi, and a terrace with sea and skyline views. This is the middle tier: tower penthouse, not boutique, with compact square meters but cross views. Target buyer: a C-level executive moving up from a 180-sqm flat who wants a private terrace without jumping to 500 sqm [TO BE VERIFIED current price].

7. Country Club penthouse — 490 sqm, furnished and automated

490 sqm total, 370 sqm built, in the Country Club neighborhood. Automated audio and lighting systems, sold fully furnished. This unit is unusual in Lima for its automation + furnished combo: very few San Isidro penthouses trade fully furnished. Useful for the international buyer who lands with luggage and wants the family settled in under a month [TO BE VERIFIED price and availability].

8. Av. Vanderghen penthouse — 521 sqm

Av. Vanderghen is one of the residential arteries of Country Club–El Golf, with low-rise towers from the 1990s and recent boutique projects. This penthouse offers 521 sqm total. Layout and price [TO BE VERIFIED full data]. For you as a buyer, Vanderghen is the alternative when nothing on Pezet remains in listings: parallel blocks, same neighborhood profile, 5–15% below Pezet pricing because the direct golf course view is missing.

9. Lif Pezet penthouse — duplex with Lima Golf Club views

Lif Pezet project on Avenida Pezet, fronting the Lima Golf Club. Duplex penthouse with direct golf and skyline views. Different format from The Grand: a smaller tower designed from day one around larger residences. Active listings through penthouse.pe and via the Francisco Viteri Propiedades brokerage. Duplex configuration that doubles space on the top floor [TO BE VERIFIED exact area and listed price].

10. El Olivar penthouse (Morales 144) — 144 sqm + 46 sqm terrace

Different micro-zone, different scale. El Olivar of San Isidro centers on 1,675 century-old olive trees declared a National Monument in 1959 — think of it as Lima’s Central Park, except smaller and rooted in 16th-century Spanish colonial heritage. The neighborhood has its own ecosystem of boutique developments. Morales 144 is an Emme Inmobiliaria project designed by Costa+Herrera architects. Penthouse unit 503 has 143.92 sqm built and 46.14 sqm of open terrace, with three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. This is the El Olivar boutique penthouse archetype: compact square meters, premium location facing the grove, more accessible ticket than a Pezet penthouse [TO BE VERIFIED listed price as of May 2026].

Editorial closing on the list: of the ten units, three are pre-sale or finished projects with a clearly identified developer (The Grand, Morales 144, Lif Pezet) and seven are secondary-market or premium broker listings with verifiable square meters but pricing under review. If you’re building a shortlist from abroad, request a formal property package on units 1, 2, 4 and 10 first — those have the most public data.

Micro-zone map: where the penthouses are

San Isidro is not a single market. When we talk about a penthouse San Isidro sale, we’re really talking about four micro-zones with very different profiles. Penthouse San Isidro sale supply is concentrated, but the price gap between zones is wider than most buyers expect:

• Country Club–El Golf: Pezet, Coronel Portillo, Vanderghen, Santo Toribio, Choquehuanca. Lima’s luxury core, and where eight of the ten penthouses on this list are located. Lima Golf Club views, top ticket of the district.
• El Olivar: Morales, Carrion, Cavenecia, Las Flores streets. Century-old grove, boutique buildings of 6 to 12 units, high but more accessible ticket compared to Pezet. Buyer profile: someone who values cultural heritage over a fairway view.
• Financial Center (Begonias–Javier Prado): Las Begonias, Republica de Panama, Javier Prado Este corridors. More high-rise than boutique, mixed residential-corporate use. Few true penthouses; most top-of-tower units carry shared service loads.
• Orrantia del Mar and Corpac: residential micro-zones with large houses, embassies and low-rise buildings. Penthouses are exceptional but they exist, especially in newer towers along Avenida Salaverry.

What you really pay: price, HOA, alcabala tax

List price is not what leaves your account. In any penthouse San Isidro sale at the US$2,000,000 mark, plan on three additional cost blocks:

• Alcabala (transfer tax): 3% on the amount above 10 UIT. With 2026 UIT at S/5,350, the first S/53,500 is exempt. For a US$2M unit (around S/7.5M at the May 2026 exchange rate), the rough calculation is 3% on S/7,446,500 — about S/223,395 (close to US$60,000). See the detailed guide at buying a luxury apartment in Lima from abroad.
• Monthly HOA / maintenance: in penthouses with private pool, jacuzzi, double lobby and private elevator, fees range from S/2,500 to S/7,000 per month (US$670 – US$1,870) depending on the number of units in the building. Boutique buildings carry higher fees because fixed costs split among fewer owners.
• Annual property tax (predial): calculated on the assessed value (autoavaluo). For a US$2M unit, expect S/18,000 to S/35,000 annually [TO BE VERIFIED current range under San Isidro municipal scale 2026].

Add it up: a US$2M unit costs you between S/250,000 and S/280,000 — about US$67,000 to US$75,000 — in closing and first-year carrying costs alone. Make sure your broker hands you the all-in cost of ownership before you sign earnest money, not after.

Frequently asked questions

The closing thought

The penthouse San Isidro sale market exists, but it’s narrow. The difference between landing the right one and settling for “a big apartment with one extra floor” lies in reading the micro-zone, the developer, the actual sqm (not the published one) and the all-in cost of ownership. If you’re putting US$1M to US$3M into a roof, do it with a specialized broker, a trusted Peruvian attorney, and editorial judgment. This list is a starting point, not a buy recommendation.

Rates, prices and figures referenced correspond to May 2026 and are subject to change. Pre-sale project information comes from public records and official developer communications as of that date; specifications, pricing and delivery dates may change.
