Brand-New 3-Bedroom Jungle Home with Pool on 2.5 Acres in Desirable Community in Ojochal Costa Rica

The Location & Access

Sitting in the exclusive Phase 11 neighborhood, the home is minutes from Ojochal’s cafes, restaurants, shops, grocers, fitness facilities, boutique shops, and professional services. The Costanera highway and Plaza Ventanas, with a plethora of businesses, are 15 minutes away. And in under 20 minutes you can be relaxing on the dark sands of Playa Ventanas or walking along the wilds of Playa Tortuga.

The property is accessed via a prepared road which starts at Costanera highway and passes over a brand-new bridge at the entrance to Ojochal. It then meanders through the town and continues to Phase 11, a scenic trip of just under 6km. Jungles, mountains, crystal mountain rivers, rapids & cataracts, and the services & amenities of Ojochal make this an unforgettable (and practical) drive!

The house sits at an elevation of approximately 130 m or 430 feet. This is high enough to benefit from cooler air, mountain breezes, and a fresher climate.

The Plantel & Views

The Plantel is large and flat. You can retain the space as a parking area, put up a veggie patch, landscaped garden, storage shed, yoga studio, home office…you get the idea!

Towering jungles encircle the home on three sides, with most of the 2.5 acres being covered by rainforests. These and nearby forested areas border river valleys and are legally protected to provide animal habitat and erosion control – so you can be sure of the ever-present tropical vibes and must expect to welcome your new jungle neighbors. You will meet them in no time – the macaws, monkeys, poison dart frogs, toucans, anteaters, coatis, iguanas, electric blue morpho butterflies…maybe even a tapir or jaguar?

Behind the home, spectacular 1,000 meter+ coastal mountains, covered in ancient jungles and cloud-forests, form a nearly vertical wall reminiscent of Hawaii’s volcanic ranges. During the green season numerous waterfalls fall hundreds of meters along their sharp slopes while the dry season sees their peaks draped in brilliantly white fairweather clouds and morning mists.

The Home

The driveway leads straight into the carport with direct indoor access to the home – guaranteeing you will stay dry & happy while bringing in the groceries. The central kitchen / dining / living area offers high ceilings, spectacular jungle views and a breakfast bar. Storage & cabinet space is  absolutely massive, more than enough to cater for the largest of pantries. Direct access to the backyard patio & swimming pool is provided via huge panoramic sliding doors – and the view behind this glass wall is green, lush & tropical.

A large, corner master bedroom offers plentiful glazing, rainforest views, and direct access to the backyard patio area. Shelving and storage space does not disappoint. Two more bedrooms are equally well equipped, with one also offering external patio access.

Two large bathrooms with showers and plentiful storage, plus an external shower to cater to the pool-goers, offer practicality and convenience.

The Garden

A fenced verandah, which spans across two sides of the house, extends into the covered backyard patio. Plentiful lighting and fans make this space comfortable during any time of day – and any sort of weather. A sink, cabinets and countertop entice with outdoor cooking options – that space next to the sink can hold a sizeable BBQ!

Just a few steps away, the sunny splash pool will be a hit during the sunny days and tropical jungle nights.

Option to Purchase the Neighboring Lot

A neighboring 2-acre lot can also be purchased for $70,000. Doing so would increase the size of the property to 4.5 acres and present amazing development opportunities – now you can construct a family compound, huge gardens or orchards, retain the undeveloped areas as nature reserves?
