Rainforest Home with River, Jungle Trails & Pool in Ojochal

A Tranquil 3-Bed Home With Room For Further Construction, HUGE Rainforest Backyard, a Vibrant Mountain River and Wild Jungle Trails Just a Stone’s Throw Away From One of Ojochal’s Main Throughfares.

LOCATION & ACCESS

This large 1.24-acre property is located just off Calle Principal, a short distance from the heart of Ojochal and about 4km from the Costanera highway. Unlike the built-up landscapes of central Ojochal under 1km away, this is a mostly rural area with scattered homes and wide expanses of fields, farms and jungles all around the property. A prepared and partly paved road picks you up at the Costanera, takes you over a brand-new bridge, swings past the commercial areas of Ojochal and brings you to the large gravel carpark immediately in front of the home. The gate provides safety and peace of mind.

THE HOUSE

A very smart layout, separating the bedrooms from the living areas of the home, is perhaps the most interesting feature of the house.

A covered entranceway leads to the central hallway which connects the two parts of the home. The left portion holds a large & fully-equipped kitchen which looks onto the lush towering jungles – a grande view while you are chopping onions or mixing the stir fry. Marble countertops and rich, lumber cabinets provide the perfect contrast. The kitchen holds a large marble-top island that can accommodate the dining needs of a large family – although a more traditional six-place dining table is also provided. Behind the dining table, the living area invites with an L-couch, big-screen TV, and beautiful art & accents.

The other part of the home holds three bedrooms and a single bathroom. The large Master Bedroom looks onto the deck, pool and majestic jungles just over an arm’s reach away. It offers extensive storage and floor-to-ceiling glazing with direct patio-door access to the backyard. The other two bedroom are also bright, airy and provide plenty of storage space – and all three rooms impress with beautiful lumber beds, furniture, and shelving. The bathroom is accented with black marble tile – the large shower and monsoon shower-head add a touch of comfort & luxury.

POOL & PATIO

The covered patio will keep you dry and out of the sun. It invites with plenty of seating options – tables, lounges and bar-stools abound, a choice of seating to enjoy a hot lunch straight off the backyard BBQ – or a cold drink on a warm day. Nearby, a sunny swimming pool graces with the most natural of backgrounds – a towering rainforest wall which marks the ‘wild’ portion of your backyard.

JUNGLE BACKYARD, TRAILS & RIVER

A prepared trail leads from the backyard straight into the jungle wilds. Soaring trees, brilliant flowers, tropical plants, climbing vines and the stunningly rich biodiversity of a lowland rainforest sit a mere 30-second walk away from your living room! Monkeys, macaws, sloths, anteaters, brilliant blue morpho butterflies and many other jungle critters will be your new neighbors. Descending into the valley, a briskly flowing mountain river blesses with her cool & clean waters – a few strategically placed rocks will create an amazing, natural swim hole to the delight of your family and guests. Can you imagine cooling off in the magical water, a hot coffee or refreshing drink in hand, while your visitors are marveling at the amazing Costa Rican jungle & animals that surround in every direction?

NEARBY AREA

Top-rated restaurants, cafes, tourist shops, supermarkets, barbers, pickle-ball, yoga studios, schools, a library, and many other amenities are located in and around Ojochal, just over a kilometer from the home. A few more kilometers will bring you to Plaza Ventanas with her gas station, dentist & doctors, lawyers & real estate professionals, cafes, restaurants, tourist shops and even a mini water park (not to mention the giant dinosaur statues)! Playa Ventanas, with her thundering sea caves, is 7km away while the wild & untamed Playa Tortuga and the neighboring turtle rescue center are even closer.  Another 15 minutes will bring you to the large service town of Uvita with her services, amenities and world-famous Marino Ballena National Park – SCUBA, sport fishing, adventure & eco activities, or beach fun await!

ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Several flat areas are available for further development. A second home, pool house, guest cabins, a large gazebo or yoga deck, greenhouses, fruit orchard or natural parklands can be added at your convenience and in service of your imaginations – the opportunities are limitless.

What an amazing property – while central Ojochal is a quick stroll away, you wouldn’t know it as your little world is all about towering jungles and untamed mountain rivers, the sound of nature, and a peaceful life at the end of a quiet driveway. Fancy a peek at the house and the magical rainforest & mountain river?
