About this property

Iconic Ocean View Estate in Ojochal with 2 Guest Houses

Commanding one of the finest sunset vantage points on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast, this iconic ridge-top estate delivers unobstructed, panoramic views that few properties can rival. From sunrise to sunset, the scenery is extraordinary: the vast Pacific Ocean stretching endlessly ahead, the Río Térraba flowing fresh water into the sea to the left, and the dramatic Ventanas Ridge—with its sea caves and secluded cove beach—to the right. From the pool deck, watch whales breach offshore as waves roll in below and the sun disappears into the ocean in a blaze of color.

Walkable to Ojochal Town Center

Despite its elevated, private setting, the estate is located within walking distance of Ojochal’s town center, internationally recognized for its world-class dining scene, boutique shops, cafés, and vibrant expat community.This rare combination of ridge-top privacy, panoramic ocean views, and pedestrian access to town amenities is virtually unmatched along the southern Pacific coast.

Main Residence Timeless Costa Rican Character

At the heart of the estate is a 3,000 sq ft main residence, originally operated as a successful boutique bed & breakfast (Hotel el Parazoso) in the early 2000s. Built of solid concrete and accented with locally sourced hardwood doors and window frames, the home exudes authentic Costa Rican charm and durability.

  • 7 bedrooms / 6 bathrooms (Total)
  • 5 bedrooms with private en-suite baths (Main House)
  • 2 additional bedrooms sharing a bathroom (Guest Houses)

Ocean-View Pool & Entertaining Area

Just behind the main residence is a beautifully positioned ocean-view swimming pool, offering a front-row seat to the Pacific Ocean and unforgettable sunsets. From the pool deck, you can watch whales offshore, waves breaking along the coastline, and the sun setting directly into the sea. The pool area feels like a private resort—perfect for afternoon swims, sunset cocktails, or relaxing between the house and outdoor entertaining spaces.

Outdoor living is a highlight, with over 1,000 sq ft of covered decks and a large rancho-style outdoor dining pavilion comfortably accommodating up to 20 guests—ideal for entertaining, retreats, or hospitality use.

Guest Accommodations

In addition to the main home, the estate includes two separate guest efficiencies, each approximately 500 sq ft:

  • One fully operational studio-style unit, ideal for guests or rental income
  • One additional structure with solid bones, requiring light TLC to restore—offering immediate upside through a modest renovation

Lifestyle, Legacy, and Investment Potential

Set on 3.25 acres of lush grounds, the property is richly landscaped with mature ornamental and fruit trees, creating privacy, beauty, and a true tropical estate feel. There is ample room for expansion, whether for additional guest units, amenities, or future development. The land also presents a possible subdivision opportunity, adding a compelling investment component.

This estate is perfectly suited for

  • Reviving a boutique bed & breakfast or wellness retreat
  • Creating a multi-generational family compound
  • Owning a legacy ocean-view property in one of Costa Rica’s most desirable coastal regions

A rare combination of iconic views, walkable town access, proven hospitality history, expansion potential, and timeless character—this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.
