Modern 3-Bedroom Jungle Home with Infinity Pool & Mountain Views in Desirable Finca Maranon in Ojochal Costa Rica

HOME

Luxury, design, spaciousness & Pandora-like views – this home stands out in every way. A grand central nexus dominates the space holding the kitchen, living area and dining room. Where to begin – the thoughtful lumber & stone accents, ingenious layout, unique furniture, maximum lightness & airiness, or maybe the unreal mountain vistas? On one side, the modern & fully equipped kitchen, with a gas stove and storage & counter space galore, will make every meal an adventure. On the other side, a stunning curved sofa snakes around the big-screen TV which hangs, perched, on a lumber-panel wall. The coffee table, made from several single-piece tree trunk sections, is an art piece in itself. And in-between, a dining table / kitchen island, with room for eight, is adorned with designer lighting.

Looking through the space, tropical jungles and towering coastal mountains dominate the view. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and a movable wall blurs the line between ‘outside’ and ‘inside’ as this central area connects to the back patio & swimming pool.

The Master Bedroom occupies an entire wing of the home – plentifully glazed and connected to the patio via sliding doors, the room takes full advantage of the billion-dollar views. It holds a large monsoon-shower ensuite and a walk-in closed with, seemingly, more storage than will ever be necessary. On the opposite side, two large bedrooms share a central ensuite, with both having ample storage, stunning views and direct sliding-door patio access as well. A laundry room & a utility room complete the offering.

The patio and BBQ area culminate at the gorgeous marble-stone saltwater infinity pool. The pool views preside over a towering mountain & jungle panorama, a vista of lushness and tropical vibes completed by the ever-present rainforest symphony. The patio includes both covered & uncovered sections – so it can be enjoyed rain or shine.

The home is equipped with a solar electricity system, an array of cells covering the roof. And speaking of the roof – it is fortified with much more insulation than usual – so the home stays cool during the hot afternoons and nice & quiet during tropical downpours. North-American-standard plumbing, PEX waterlines, vented plumbing and P-trap systems have been installed – this house is finished to the highest of qualities. An extra water tank will ensure more-than-plentiful water supply, even for the three future cabins that can be constructed just below the home (more about that later).

This is an end of the road home, and end of the road means three things: profound peace, perpetual privacy and plenty of jungle wildlife!

VIEWS

Because the home sits at the high point of the property, the tropical views are nothing short of spectacular. An impenetrable wall of rainforest canopies stretches across a panoramic vista, interrupted by the towering coastal mountains that sharply rise to over 1,000 meters above the surrounds. Steep and reminiscent of Hawaii’s famous peaks, the mountains are covered by jungles and cloud forests. In the green season, giant waterfalls hundreds of meters high descend their nearly vertical slopes. A sight to behold –  and the infinity pool will make a PERFECT viewpoint!

LAND

The mostly rainforest-clad 4.7 acres sit on two adjoining lots. Public roads and a river form the property borders – so no neighboring lots touch this land. To the south and east, uninterrupted tracts of tropical rainforests stretch for miles & miles, a part of the 200 km long Danta (Tapir) Biological Corridor that connects the interior wilds of the country with Corcovado National Park. Yes, the property touches this important biological connector.

PLANTELS

Three flat & graded plantels sit on the down sloping section just below the home. They can be reached via a prepared road. And here lies the opportunity – the plantels can hold a cabin each, to be used as guest homes or money-making rental accommodation. You can also mix-and-match by utilizing these plantels as extensive tropical orchards, gardens, or permaculture farming areas as the space can support multiple growing sections and a large greenhouse. Or how about a gazebo, large BBQ space, jacuzzi station, yoga deck, outdoor gym, natural camping areas? You are only limited by your imagination!

ORCHARD

About a year ago the owners took the time & care to plant a 40-tree and 24-coconut-palm tropical fruit orchard. These trees plus several other food crops are now established and will begin to bless the buyer with fresh, juicy and delicious produce year-round, each season giving different fruits to sample. Imagine starting your day with a freshly picked banana or a tropical shake made from your own mangoes, papaya and starfruit – will you enjoy these gifts of nature before your morning swim or after your sunrise outdoor yoga session? A list of the fruit trees & crop plants is included at the end of this description.

ANIMALS

Proximity to the Danta Biological Corridor in concert with the heavily forested acreage and the bordering river create ideal conditions for famous Costa Rican wildlife – monkeys, macaws, toucans, poison dart & glass frogs, sloths, anteaters, tapirs, and even jaguars traverse the land or make it their home. And the dawn & dusk jungle concerts will leave you mesmerized – the songs of frogs, birds, monkeys, cicadas and various other jungle critters are a natural symphony like no other!

ACCESS

The property is easily accessed from the Costanera highway  – as you turn off the highway near the Plaza Ventanas shopping centre and onto the local road, you will pass over the brand-new entrance bridge and roll past some of Ojochal’s more famous restaurants, businesses & pubs before turning right onto Papagayo (Parrot)  Street and then moving onto Finca Marañon street. The home is at the very end of this road. A driveway leads to the carpark and the house which sit near the top of the property.

LOCAL AREA

Let me tell you a bit about the town of Ojochal – it is THE place to be – a hot real estate market driven by the town’s tropical surroundings, services and amenities, and proximity to some of the most scenic beaches, waterfalls and landscapes of Costa Rica. The town is known as an international village due to her popularity as a destination for locals, expats and tourists alike. World-class dining options surround the local area as do yoga studios and fitness centres, hotels and guesthouses, shops and supermarkets, medical clinics, legal offices, hardware stores and many other businesses. But Ojochal is also a true jungle town with numerous mountain rivers, streams and waterfalls criss-crossing the area, and a canopy of towering trees immersing the local homes and businesses giving a true ‘jungle village’ vibe. Resident toucans, flocks of noisy scarlet macaws, howler and capuchin monkeys, sloths, majestic blue morpho butterflies and many other tropical animals complete the Ojochal experience!

The amazing Playa Ventanas with her thundering sea caves or the wild Playa Tortuga – where sea turtles come to lay their eggs – are under 5km away. Instagram-famous Pavones waterfall, with a huge overhanging boulder, can be reached in 15 minutes. Marino Ballena NP in nearby Uvita entices with whale watching, sport fishing, and eco & adrenaline activities while the nearby Palmar holds the mysterious stone spheres in two of its beautiful outdoor parks. With so much to see, do, and experience, aren’t you glad you chose resort-style living in the beautiful Costa Ballena?
