About this property

At a glance

A 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home on 6.42 acres in Tres Rios, with full ocean views. Playa Ventanas is 15 minutes away by car. Ojochal is 15 minutes away and Uvita 20. It has legal water and grid power, and at $449,000 it’s priced below 12 of the 15 other homes for sale in Tres Rios.

This large 6.5-acre property holds a spacious, bright & airy house with billion-dollar views, a large jungle-immersed timber cabin, rainforest-covered slopes and, best of all, a mountain river complete with chill-out pools, cascades and a  waterfall!

While the nature immersion is total, the services and amenities of Tres Rios, Cortes, and Ojochal are mere MINUTES away! But when you are here, modern civilization might as well not exist – because the jungle touches the house and your neighbors are the monkeys, sloths, toucans, macaws, blue morpho butterflies, colorful poison dart frogs, oropendolas and all other creatures that Costa Rica is famous for!

ACCESS & PROPERTY

The property is accessed via a prepared and well-maintained public road. A large car-park, adjacent to the house, can hold several vehicles. High hedging provides the lower house floor with full privacy while a sprawling flat lawn, opposite the car-park, can be used for playing, entertaining, BBQing, tending a bonfire, or relaxation. A prepared step-stone path leads towards the jungle-clad interior of the property – first stop is the large timber cabin with the final destination finding you at the magical rainforest river.

MAIN HOUSE

The house is entered via the top floor (via the car-park) or the bottom floor (via the front gate). The top floor holds an open-concept kitchen and living area including a breakfast bar, as well as a bathroom. The kitchen is large, spacious, and fully equipped while the living area lazily sprawls over most of the floor-space. Beautiful, soaring timber vault ceilings & skylight elevate and animate the house while enormous windows and patio doors bring in natural light and the stunning jungle, mountain and ocean views that grace the space from every direction.

A patio, complete with a hammock, looks onto the tropical jungles and majestic 1,300-meter high coastal mountains while, on the opposite side, a large veranda  brings rainforest, palm plantation, cattle-ranch, mangrove, and Pacific Ocean views – including the Térraba -Sierpe Wetlands, Osa Peninsula, Caño Island, Corcovado National Park and the mangrove-maze of the Térraba River Delta. The sunsets are said to be spectacular! Both the patio and veranda are protected by the beautiful timber roof overhangs.

Downstairs are the two en suite bedrooms – the master bedroom is enormous, including a relaxation area and a covered patio which overlooks the jungles and mountains. The huge en-suite shower gives a floor-to-ceiling view of the surrounding rainforest, seemingly an arm’s-reach away. The second bedroom is large and includes a private patio as well as an en-suite with similarly spectacular natural views. The bottom floor also includes a fully equipped laundry room.

CABIN

A short stroll along the lush pathway brings you to the 1-bedroom cabin, a timber masterpiece! Every piece of this structure is made of timber – from the veranda floorboards to the walls, doors, bed-frames and ceilings. Beautiful timber cabinets, tables and furniture add to the feelings of warmth and relaxation. The floor space is split between a large kitchen / dining / living area and a single bedroom. A bathroom with a shower sits at the far end of the cabin, a separate space under the same roof. 360-degree wrap-around veranda, under the overhanging timber roof, reminds of the long-gone old-world charm.

The cabin is surrounded by towering tropical trees – this deep inside a rainforest you never know what amazing creature may greet you – macaws, toucans, monkeys, anteaters, sloths, blue morpho butterflies? Just imagine the jungle chorus that will see you off to bed or greet you every morning!

RIVER, SWIMHOLES & WATERFALL

The meandering step-stone path leads through the towering jungles and lush tropical undergrowth as it takes you to a secret paradise – a mountain river complete with burbling cascades and a horsetail waterfall. Swim-holes abound – imagine relaxing in the cool & crystal waters with your family or guests, a refreshing drink in hand, the sights and sounds of a tropical rainforest extending above you and in every direction? Or how about a morning stroll for a riverside meditation to start your day?

THE TRES RIOS AREA

While this property seems to stand in the depths of a jungle, modern civilization is minutes away. The nearby Costanera highway will take you to towns like Palmar, Ojochal and Uvita where you will find all the services and amenities you could ever need. Beautiful beaches, some of the best in Costa Rica, are just around the corner – Playa Ventanas amongst them, a tropical gem with thundering sea caves.

THIS IS AN OFFER LIKE NO OTHER

It is not often that a large property with multiple structures, private river & waterfall, and incredible views is presented to the local market. And you could not ask for a more perfect location – standing in the wilds of a tropical rainforest yet minutes away from a hot cup of coffee, a live gig at a local bar, a meal at a 5-star restaurant or a medical appointment, you CAN have the best of both worlds!
