Welcome to this original casa, a very special property waiting for you to plant the seeds of your dream lifestyle in Costa Rica. With an existing 2 bedroom home, there is no time like the present to move down and make your dream a reality. Located in a hidden enclave of Ojochal, perched atop a gassy hill bordering the Rio Balso river and mature rainforest, these 2.5 acres of land are calling forth someone with a love of nature and privacy.
Down a private residential road with no exit, you arrive to the open land of this beautiful casa. Immediately it is evident the usability of the property holds so many possibilities. The casa is an open concept home, built to enjoy outdoor tropical living. The kitchen is finished with concrete counters and shelving, and holds a large walk-in dehumidified pantry/storage. As one united space, the covered dining and lounge area provide a tranquil area for both entertaining and relaxing. At the end of the home is found the primary bedroom with large walk-in dehumidified closet. The primary overlooks the surrounding jungle and has the ideal location for enjoying the soothing sounds of the river below. The bathroom sits between the two bedrooms and is also finished with concrete counters and a combined shower/bath. The second bedroom is perfect for guests or could function well as an office space. There is covered parking for one car and the laundry is located in the carport. Out in front of the home is a fire pit for enjoyment of those clear sky nights with friends. A workshop space is next to the jungle, perfect for anyone who has a hobby. The land surrounding the home is flat and usable, allowing for expansion of the home itself, with the potential to add more suites . The Rio Balso borders 100m of the property, with multiple swimming holes and areas to relax in the refreshing waters. The trail is easily accessed and there are a couple of sandy areas along the river, making it a perfect spot for immersing yourself in nature with friends and family.
The land at this beautiful casa is waiting for someone with a vision. There are 3 additional building areas:
- Riverside Plantel – Located down below on the jungle side from the house as you go down to the river trail. This spot would be perfect for a yoga pavilion or entertainment rancho.
- Upper Plantel – Located behind and above the house. This large plantel is primed for a larger main home. This section could also be segregated from the house property and thus afford the construction of a main home and another guest house. There is an adjacent small site which would be great for a greenhouse or overflow parking.
- Jungle Plantel – Located down below and in front, on the entrance side of the property. This area would be great for a guesthouse and would have complete privacy from the existing home.
This casa offers an opportunity for someone to begin their journey in Costa Rica immediately, while having the area to expand and bring their vision to life over time. The casa can serve as a family estate, a rental property for hosting retreats, or as a private sanctuary. This property can be the location for your Costa Rican origin story, a parcel of land meant for stewardship and the creation of an intentional ”Pura Vida”.
